Former President Donald Trump held a rally on Saturday in Waco, Texas, marking the beginning of his 2024 presidential campaign in a state he won in both 2016 and 2020. Thousands of Texans, and some from outside the state, waited in long lines to see Trump speak. However, during his signature speech style, Trump vacillated from claiming that he would lead the entire GOP to smashing wins to voicing suspicions of the US election system and casting doubt on it. Trump also attacked the Biden administration during his speech, which lasted approximately 95 minutes. The former president steered clear of addressing the deadly Waco siege from nearly 30 years ago that experts in political violence fear may have shaped his decision to hold the rally there. Additionally, Trump denied having an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels and railed against the Manhattan district attorney's office, which is investigating him for a possible indictment.
