President Trump’s campaign announced Friday it will hold a rallies in Mississippi and Kentucky next month. The “Keep America Great” rallies take place before crucial gubernatorial races in both states. While both Mississippi and Kentucky are solidly Republican, having backed President Trump by about 19 and 30 points, respectively, in 2016, the races to win the governor’s mansion are likely closer than the GOP would prefer. The campaign touted Trump’s economic accomplishments in its announcements of the Nov. 1 rally in Tupelo, Miss. and the Nov. 4 rally in Lexington, Ky. SNIP

EDMONTON -- A group of oil and gas supporters is planning a counter-rally in Edmonton on Friday, when Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg brings her fight for a greener future to the centre of Canada's oil and gas industry.

A rally attended by about 5 or 6 dozen people in support of President Donald Trump as he faces an impeachment inquiry quickly escalated to physical confrontations and violence when counterprotesters unfurled Anti-Fascist flags. There were fewer than a dozen counter protestors flying green "Antifa International" flags. The physical violence amounted to pushing, grabbing, body blocking and, at one point, a tug-of-war over a flag. Blame for the escalation to physical violence was mutual. Tulsa police arrived to separate the protesters and counterprotesters. "I think that a lot of people hate America and hate freedom, which is why they protest...

Juan Williams said he was "heartbroken" after listening to President Trump's rally Thursday in Minneapolis. To Wiliams, it is clear that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is the only potential opponent Trump is "concerned with." "I'm just so heartbroken for America that that's the president, that's the way he talks," Williams said on "The Five" on Friday. "And that's the way he talks about people who are his political rivals." Williams took issue with how Trump unloaded on Joe and Hunter Biden over their Ukrainian business dealings, and with the president saying Joe Biden's only useful trait as vice president...

"The Five" discussed Monday whether or not Democrats are underestimating President Trump and his ability to connect with voters. Fox News correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera made the case that the president's Friday rally showed that he will be "formidable."

"He had them spellbound. He is a master performer." Trump slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., during a Friday night rally in Louisiana, saying "Nancy Pelosi hates the United...

President Trump is fighting back against an impeachment inquiry by taking his counterpunching style on the road. What do fans at one of his rallies make of the scandal? "It's the first time I've worn my cap downtown," confesses Jake Biehn as he waits for President Donald Trump's rally to start in Minneapolis, a city currently run by Democrats. If he worried about standing out in his Make America Great Again baseball cap, he needn't have been. The centre of the city is a bobbing sea of red and white.

President Trump on Thursday held his first rally since Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House would launch an impeachment inquiry. The scene outside was raucous, and included a Trump supporter getting spit on during an interview with VICE News. The scene inside was just as strange, as Trump went off script for pretty much the whole speech. All hour and forty minutes of it. Though he might have sounded more than a little concerned about the prospect of impeachment, there is one way that the impeachment inquiry is not hurting him right now: fundraising. Campaign manager Brad Parscale told...

We’ve known it all along. Like their colleagues in Washington, D.C., and around the country, Minnesota Democrats are unable to cope with the 2016 election results. While Reps. Angie Craig, Dean Phillips and Collin Peterson have continued to take their cues from Speaker Nancy Pelosi, local Twin Cities Democrats have also fallen in line, mimicking the rhetoric of their national counterparts to stay in line with their party’s messaging against the president. As Democrats like Mayor Jacob Frey continue to obstruct and ignore the wishes of Minnesotans by announcing that President Donald Trump is not welcome in the city, and...

Minneapolis is bracing for a chaotic scene, with President Donald Trump set to speak Thursday in the heart of the city that overwhelmingly rejected him in 2016. Two dozen disparate groups plan to protest the visit, from civil rights advocates to labor unions and self-identifying antifa or anti-capitalists.

President Trump heads to Minnesota Thursday for a campaign rally in a state that he narrowly lost in 2016 but hopes to win in 2020. In 2016, Hillary Clinton squeaked out a win by a mere 1.5% in the state. Still, Mr. Trump surpassed expectations in the state, which currently holds the longest record of voting Democratic in presidential elections and was the only state won by Walter Mondale in Ronald Reagan's 49-state landslide in 1984. The last Republican to win Minnesota was Richard Nixon in 1972. Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez said at a meeting in June that...
