Trump rallies in Pennsylvania amid hurricane concerns

Former US President Donald Trump rallied supporters in Pennsylvania and said his prayers were with the people of Florida as Hurricane Milton made landfall in the state.

Regarding Hurricane Helene, Trump said the Biden administration had done a "terrible" job in its response.

"Before we begin, I want to send our prayers to the people of Florida getting hit just about now. And in a little while, you are going to see a hurricane like we haven't seen in a long time, as well as all of the people still recovering from Hurricane Helene. So we have North Carolina that has been hit very hard and this administration has not done a proper job at all. Terrible. Terrible. Nobody's seen anything like it. But we just pray for everybody. We want them all to be good and we're going to be there hopefully soon, and we're going to help them rebuild and get it all back together. And we hope that God will keep them safe. God will keep them safe. Just 27 days from now we're going to win Pennsylvania, we're going to defeat Kamala Harris, and we are going to make America great again." Trump told the rally in Reading, Pennsylvania.

"We need a free and fair press, badly, desperately. I watched the way they asked questions yesterday. Howard Stern. He's a weak, weak guy. He's weak. He's going 'oh, oh, what about, oh.' It was so ridiculous, even she was embarrassed. It was like softball. But all of them, Howard, I know him very well. I was on his show many times. I used to think he was good. Then I dropped him and he, I dropped him like a dog. And his ratings are very challenged," Trump said.

With less than a month to go before the Nov. 5 election, Trump said he was "putting everything on the line" and called on his supporters to vote in order to defeat Kamala Harris.

Trump staged a rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania, as he made a push for the battleground state.
