00:00A rock star's welcome for Donald Trump, as the former US president took to the stage
00:05in his first campaign event after an alleged assassination attempt last week.
00:11At the start of the event in the battleground state of Michigan, Trump said that quote being
00:16a president is a dangerous business.
00:19He added that he had spoken with his rival, Kamala Harris, in the wake of the incident.
00:24A little while ago I got a very nice call from Kamala. It was very nice. It was very
00:36nice and we appreciate that. But we have to take back our country, we have to win, we're
00:42going to win and we're going to make America great again. That's all there is to it.
00:46The Republican nominee has said that rhetoric from US President Biden and Vice President
00:51Kamala Harris is to blame for Sunday's suspected assassination attempt.
00:56Meanwhile on Tuesday, Kamala Harris slammed Trump's rhetoric, describing his false claims
01:01about Haitian immigrants eating pets in an Ohio town as hateful and designed to divide
01:06the country.
01:07When you have these positions, when you have that kind of microphone in front of you, you
01:12really ought to understand at a very deep level how much your words have meaning. So
01:18let's turn the page and chart a new way forward and say you can't have that microphone again.
01:23Her comments came in a high-profile interview at a forum in the battleground state of Philadelphia,
01:28organised by the National Association of Black Journalists.
01:32Polls indicate a tight race between Trump and Harris ahead of the election on November
01:375th.
