The president once again sought to steal the spotlight from Democrats on a big night, counterprogramming their Nevada debate with a Phoenix campaign rally.
PHOENIX — As Democrats lashed into one another on the debate stage, President Donald Trump took some swipes of his own at a rally aimed at counterprogramming the Democrats' big night from a state that could be up for grabs in November.
He continued to try to fuel division between Sanders' supporters and the establishment wing of the party."The DNC is going to take it away from Bernie again," he said."But that's OK, because we don't care who the hell it is. We are going to win." Trump has been seeking to steal the spotlight from Democrats, holding a rally during the January debate and putting on events in Iowa and New Hampshire days before voters cast ballots in those states. He'll hold another rally in Nevada on Friday, the day before the state's caucuses.No Democrat has won Arizona's 11 electoral votes since Bill Clinton in 1996, but it has a growing Hispanic population, and Democrats view the once solidly red state as within reach.
Trump's visit was also aimed to give a boost to Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., who stood by Trump during his impeachment and has gone from a detractor to a staunch defender. Trump returned the favor Wednesday, giving her a ringing endorsement as he called her up onstage.
