The National Rifle Association (NRA) has thrown its weight behind former President Donald Trump’s presidential bid, announcing he will be the keynote speaker at their ‘Defend the 2nd’ event in Savannah, Georgia on October 22nd. This move further solidifies the NRA’s unwavering support for Trump, who has been a vocal advocate for gun rights throughout his political career.
The NRA, in a statement, highlighted the importance of the upcoming election for gun owners, claiming that Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her allies are poised to erode Second Amendment protections. They asserted that Trump has proven himself a champion for gun owners and expressed enthusiasm for his return to the White House.
Beyond Trump, the NRA is actively engaging in key Senate races, aiming to influence the balance of power in the upper chamber. They have launched a significant ad campaign targeting Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in Ohio, a state considered crucial for both parties.
This move comes after the NRA Political Victory Fund recently spearheaded a major radio campaign against Democratic Senator Jon Tester in Montana, another closely watched Senate race. The NRA is clearly betting heavily on these races, seeing them as pivotal in their fight to protect gun rights.
In their news release, the NRA emphasized the high stakes of the presidential election for gun owners, stating that the preservation and strengthening of constitutional rights hang in the balance. They urged gun owners to make a conscious choice this fall to safeguard their Second Amendment rights.
With Trump leading the charge, the NRA is clearly prepared to engage in a fierce battle to influence the upcoming elections, leaving no doubt about their commitment to preserving gun rights and their strong support for the former president’s return to the White House.
