Trump kissed Arpaio on the cheek then said: “I don’t kiss men, but I kissed him. We had a real border with this guy.” Arpaio called Trump his hero. The end of the campaign event included a Q&A with audience members, who asked about border issues, drugs and cost-of-living issues. He said he would “get rid of inflation” in part by drilling to bring energy prices down. Cost-of-living concerns come up with voters frequently, Trump said, and used a regular-size container of Tic-Tacs beside a mini version to demonstrate the effects of inflation.. Arizona is a key battleground this year, as Trump tries to win back the once solidly red southwestern state from Biden, who beat him by about 10,500 votes. Election denialism has gripped the state for years – some Republicans who lost their races in 2022 midterms still have not conceded and have filed lawsuits to try to reverse the results. The Democratic National Committee put up a billboard in Phoenix on Thursday that is the first paid ad from the party to focus on the former president’s convictions, Meidas Touch News reported. The ad says: “Trump already attacked Arizona’s democracy once. Now he’s back as a convicted felon. He’s out for revenge and retribution. Trump: unfit to serve.” www.theguardian.com/...
