Good morning, and welcome to The Epoch Times News Brief for Saturday, May 11, 2024. I’m Bill Thomas, and today, we’ve got some big stories to share with you, from former President Donald Trump’s New Jersey rally and trial updates to RFK Jr.’s abortion stance. We also have the Biden administration’s recording-breaking numbers of regulations, and a new anger management technique from Japan simply involves pen and paper. We’ll tell you all about that coming up, but first, we plant ourselves in New Jersey where President Trump is gearing up for a major event.
Trump to Rally in Blue State New Jersey After Another Week of Trial
Even in traditionally liberal New Jersey, Republican Michael Byrne sees a potential win for former President Donald Trump. Speaking to The Epoch Times prior to a major rally happening today in Wildwood, New Jersey, Mr. Byrne details his efforts to drum up big support for President Trump, and he anticipates a large turnout at today’s rally.New Jersey usually votes Democratic in presidential races, but Mr. Byrne and his “America First Republicans” group aim to rewrite that story. They find motivation in President Trump’s 2020 success in the Wildwood area, where he won by 25 percentage points, even as he lost the state. This area is also known for U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who switched from the Democratic to the Republican Party in 2020.
