Five things we learnt from Trump's comeback campaign rally The former US president has held his first rally since leaving office in Wellington, Ohio 27 June 2021 • 10:19pm Donald Trump is back on the campaign stage ahead of next year's midterm elections to warn that Republicans must win back Congress if they are to "take back America". After five months out of office, the former US president proved he can still draw massive crowds as he held his first post-presidential rally in the small rural town of Wellington, Ohio. Mr Trump, 75, fell back on familiar themes, claiming "millions" of illegal immigrants were entering the country, China was stealing American jobs and that voter fraud was rampant in the 2020 election.
