President Donald Trump warned supporters at a campaign event that if Americans “don’t vote Republican,” they “won’t have a country left,” urging turnout and casting Democrats as existential threats to U.S. institutions. The remark, captured in contemporaneous rally transcripts, echoed earlier Trump rhetoric about the country being lost absent strong conservative victories and came amid attacks on the Justice Department and claims of election misconduct. Critics called the language dangerous and alarmist; allies said it was hyperbolic encouragement to mobilize voters. News outlets and full transcripts documented the remarks, prompting debate over rhetoric, election confidence, and democratic norms, sparking concern. (rev.com)
