“There didn’t appear to be an empty seat in the gymnasium at Southport High, where the crowd appeared thrilled that Trump had returned to Indiana with Hall of Fame basketball coach Bob Knight, a state legend, and Vice President Mike Pence, who was formerly the state’s governor.
Trump recalled in great detail how Knight had reached out to him before he launched his campaign to encourage a run and how he’d magically found Knight’s number buried in a stack of papers on his desk months later. “That was from God,” Trump said.
Knight led the crowd in a “Go get ’em, Donald” chant, adding that Trump has been “a great defender of the United States of America.”
Trump held back-to-back campaign rallies Friday…to help elect Republicans in next week’s elections.
“I need you to vote for a Republican House and a Republican Senate so we can continue this incredible movement, the greatest political movement in the history of our country. It is.” —
Trump on what’s at stake Tuesday.
Trump opened a rally at an Indianapolis high school by highlighting the news from earlier in the day that the economy had added another 250,000 jobs in October. He also talked about the low unemployment rate.
“More Americans are working right now today than have ever worked in this country before,” Trump said….
Trump came to Indiana to campaign for Republican Senate candidate Mike Braun, a former state representative and businessman who is putting up a stiff challenge to Democratic incumbent Joe Donnelly. Trump has sought at his rallies to leverage his popularity with his base supporters to help the GOP expand its slim 51-49 majority in the U.S. Senate.
Trump said Donnelly, a first-term senator, was ineffective and referred to him as “Sleepy Joe.” While Donnelly has sought to highlight his cooperation with Trump on issues such as immigration, he voted against last year’s tax cuts and this year voted against Trump’s choice of Brett Kavanaugh to fill a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Braun said, “Let’s retire Joe Donnelly.”
Trump has scheduled nine rallies in West Virginia, Indiana, Montana, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio and Missouri between Friday and Election Day.
The Indiana event received an added boost from Vice President Mike Pence, who represented Indiana in Congress and as governor, and Bobby Knight, the Hall of Fame former head coach of the Indiana University men’s basketball team….
At an airport rally earlier Friday in Huntington, West Virginia, Trump opened his final sprint to the midterms by defending his decision to tweet a video warning of people crossing into the U.S. illegally at the border with Mexico….
Trump said critics had given him a “hard time” about the video, which featured a Mexican migrant in a courtroom, smiling and boasting about having killed police officers.
But Trump said, “All I’m doing is just telling the truth.”…
The video also includes scenes of a migrant caravan that is moving toward the U.S. [see Getty photos at end of this post]….
In West Virginia, Trump campaigned for Republican [Senate candidate] Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, who is in a tight race against Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin.”…

Comment: Why wasn’t this done 20 years ago? Answer: Because the entire US political class desperately wants open borders and couldn’t care less that most Americans favor only legal and safe immigration.
