With the nation’s first primary state as a backdrop, former President Donald Trump took aim Saturday at Democrats’ urban strongholds, vowing to both secure and revitalize blue cities weary from years of violence and economic decay.
“We’re going to rebuild our cities into beacons of hope, safety, and beauty. It will be the greatest investment ever made,” Trump told a large, enthusiastic crowd in Durham, N.H.
With a commanding double-digit lead in the GOP primary, Trump used the visit to train most of his attacks on his likely general election opponent, President Joe Biden, even though the first primary contests are still weeks away.
