President Trump hosted a “Great American Comeback” event in North Carolina on Saturday night as part of his presidential campaign for a second term. He shared his condolences for the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whom he called a tremendous inspiration to all Americans, regardless of their political views.
“Her landmark rulings, fierce devotion to justice and her courageous battle against cancer should inspire all Americans,” he stated. “You may disagree with her, but she was an inspiration to a tremendous number of people, I say all Americans.”

He then confirmed he will pick a replacement for Ginsburg’s seat before the election and pledged to select a woman for the job.
“I will be putting forth a nominee next week,” he said. “It will be a woman.”

The President went on to highlight how he has fulfilled his promises to the American people over the last three years. He touted raising the real median household income by nearly $70,000 and getting more than 16 million people out of poverty.
He also referred to Democrat nominee Joe Biden as “the worse candidate in history” and slammed the media as an “enemy of the people.” This comment was in reference to a CNN hosted town hall, where President Trump said Biden was given easy questions to answer.
