Sean Hannity claims momentum behind Trump 'unlike anything we’ve ever witnessed' after assassination bid
WASHINGTON, DC: Sean Hannity highlighted a narrative that underscores a powerful resurgence for Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign on the latest episode of his Fox News show.
With vivid examples and passionate rhetoric, the anchor painted a picture of the current momentum of the former president's campaign as unparalleled in modern political history.
Sean Hannity highlights the unity seen within the Republican Party
Sean Hannity opened his segment by celebrating what he described as a "momentous week" for Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and millions of Americans who are eager to see the country return to a path of prosperity and strength.
He highlighted the recent Republican National Convention (RNC) as a pivotal moment in the campaign, framing it as a significant event that reinvigorated the ex-POTUS' base and strengthened the party’s resolve.
"The main event was last night’s keynote speech from Donald Trump. That capped a powerful convention centered around courage, liberty, unity, keeping America safe, and the American dream only days after Donald Trump was nearly killed," said the Fox News host, pointing to the recent assassination attempt. He then played a clip with moments from Trump's RNC speech.
The former president was heard saying, "Less than 4 years ago, we were a great nation and we will soon be a great nation again." When talking about the economy, the GOP nominee vowed, "Incomes will skyrocket, inflation will vanish completely, jobs will come roaring back, and the middle class will prosper like never before."
He further said, "I’m here tonight to lay out a vision for the whole nation. To every citizen, whether you’re young or old, man or woman, Democrat, Republican, or Independent, Black or White, Asian or Hispanic. I extend to you a hand of loyalty and of friendship. Together we will lead America to new heights of greatness like the world has never seen before."
"During his remarks former President Trump paid tribute to the brave firefighter that was murdered at President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday," reported Hannity as he aired a video of Trump honoring Corey Comperatore, who was killed after a gunman opened fire at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13.
The Fox News host contrasted this moment of solemn reflection with the broader narrative of Trump’s campaign, saying, "Saturday's violence puts a lot of things into perspective and now it appears the Republican Party that they're more united, more determined than ever before. The momentum behind Donald Trump is unlike anything we’ve ever witnessed."
Sean Hannity says the atmosphere in the Democratic Party is 'downright dismal'
Sean Hannity juxtaposed Donald Trump’s rising popularity with what he described as the Democratic Party’s internal chaos and the visible decline of President Joe Biden’s administration. He portrayed the former president as a figure of unstoppable momentum in stark contrast to the incumbent's faltering presidency.
"With just 108 days until Election Day and only 59 days until early voting begins in Pennsylvania and around the country, a very different scene is playing out across the aisle. The atmosphere is downright dismal," noted the 'Hannity' host.
Hannity highlighted CNN commentator Van Jones' assessment of the political landscape, who said, "Today is a terrible day. If you pull back and look at this thing strength versus weakness, a bullet could not stop Trump. A virus just stopped Biden. The Democrats are coming apart. The Republicans are coming together."
