TRUMP HOLDS RALLY IN WISCONSIN CITY-Trump focused on high inflation and mortgage rates

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sought to present himself as the best candidate for the U.S. economy at a Tuesday (June 18) rally in Racine, Wisconsin.

The former president vowed to quickly reverse a plan announced by Democratic President Joe Biden earlier in the day that would give hundreds of thousands of people in the country illegally a pathway to citizenship.

Trump focused on high inflation and mortgage rates during his speech, which has dented Biden’s popularity, including in politically competitive states like Wisconsin.

Trump’s speech came hours after Biden announced a new effort to provide a pathway to citizenship to hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the U.S. illegally who are married to U.S. citizens.

Trump at his rally connected illegal immigration to violent crime.
