Watch live as Donald Trump held a religion-focused “Believers and Ballots” town hall in the battleground state of Georgia on Wednesday, 23 October.
The former president was joined by Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones as US election campaigning entered its final weeks.
Mr Trump was expected to focus his speech on support for Jewish communities and religious freedom.
According to a campaign announcement, he was also expected to criticise Kamala Harris on reported antisemitism and what Mr Trump has described as a “lack of commitment” to protecting religious communities.
Mr Trump’s rally came as he faced criticism following a report that he once said he needed “the kind of generals that Adolf Hitler had.”
According to The Atlantic, the former president and 2024 Republican presidential nominee allegedly declared that he needed “the kind of generals that Hitler had. People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders.”
“Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution, he wants a military that is loyal to him,” Ms Harris said on Wednesday (23 October).
Trump spokesperson Alex Pfeiffer said reports Mr Trump made the comments were “absolutely false.”
