Reflecting on the assassination attempt against his father at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump Jr. revealed that the former president was doing well despite the serious incident.
"He's vibrant, obviously a very heavy and somber moment, but when I walk around the floor here, I see unity like I've never seen before," he said.

Trump Jr. also highlighted his support for Senator J.D. Vance as his father's running mate, describing Vance as an "incredible America First patriot" and a skilled communicator who would contribute to the longevity of the movement.
"I love having a young, articulate, energetic guy as someone who can help also keep this movement going for generations to come — I think that is so fundamental and so important," he said.
Commenting on recent legal developments in cases involving his father, Trump Jr. expressed optimism, stating, "We can't stop winning." He attributed the dismissals and delays to fears within the Democratic party.
"They fear that he comes in with knowledge and that experience, and that he can be an even more effective leader than he was the first time around — and I thought he was pretty darn effective," he said.
