Donald Trump officially announced that he is running for reelection on Tuesday night during a campaign rally in Orlando, Florida.
“With every ounce of heart and might and sweat and soul, we’re going to keep making America great again and then we will indeed keep America great,” Trump said, according to CNN. “And that is why tonight, I stand before you to officially launch my campaign for a second term as President of the United States.”
The crowd of supporters went wild when Trump said this, cheering him on as he continued to speak.
“I can promise you that I will never, ever, ever let you down. I won’t,” Trump added. He went on to thank his family, specifically mentioning his wife, children, and parents, as well as his late brother, Fred Jr.

Earlier in the rally, Trump promised that “we’ll find” Hillary Clinton’s emails “somewhere deep in the State Department.”
“We’re going to find them somewhere deep in the State Department. We’ll find them,” Trump said. Mentioning Senator Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee who has been involved in the counter-investigations Trump has demanded, the president said that he would have gotten “the electric chair” if he had deleted emails.
“But can you imagine if I got a subpoena — think of this — if I got a subpoena for emails, if I deleted one email, like a love note for Melania, it’s the electric chair for Trump,” he said.
Trump also targeted the Democratic Party, saying that they want to “destroy you and they want to destroy our country as we know it.”
“Our radical Democrat opponents are driven by hatred prejudice and rage,” he said. “They want to destroy you and they want to destroy our country as we know it. Not acceptable. It’s not going to happen.”
He went on to complain that Democrats are not willing to accept the conclusion of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
“With the Mueller report we won and now they want a do-over, they want a do-over,” the president said. “Didn’t work out too well, let’s do it again.”
In addition, Trump went after the media, claiming saying that if he has “three or four empty seats” at his arena rally tonight, the media will say he did not fill the arena.
