During a rally in Coachella, California, former President Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her recent comments on not being able to think of anything she would have done differently during her time in office. This remark was made during an interview on ABC's The View, where she discussed her involvement in key decisions of the Biden administration. Trump highlighted the administration's controversial withdrawal from Afghanistan, which resulted in the deaths of 13 American service members, and raised concerns about illegal immigrants being released into the U.S. after being convicted of serious crimes. The rally featured a video presentation that underscored these issues, including a specific case of an Afghan national charged with plotting a terrorist attack after entering the U.S. on a special visa. Trump also played a tribute song by Jon Kahn, which has gained popularity at his rallies. Actor Dennis Quaid endorsed Trump at the event, emphasizing the need for Americans to choose between upholding constitutional values or succumbing to modern distractions.

He expressed his belief that Trump represents a similar opportunity for revitalization in America. Additionally, Rep. Ken Calvert spoke about the decline of the California dream, citing high living costs and homelessness as pressing issues. Trump endorsed Calvert, praising his efforts in Congress to address economic and security concerns, reinforcing the rally's themes of law and order and national pride.
