MIAMI (AP) — Donald Trump opened Thursday's Republican president debate with a none-too-subtle message for GOP forces to unite behind his candidacy, saying, "The Republican establishment should embrace what's happening." Trump announced that one-time foe Ben Carson would endorse him on Friday.
At least in the debate's early going, unlike previous face-offs, the candidates were on their best behavior, sticking to policy and avoiding personal attacks.
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A white Donald Trump rally attendee was charged with assault Thursday after he was caught on video hitting a black man being escorted by deputies from the venue, authorities said.
A news release from the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office said John Franklin McGraw, 78, of Linden, was charged with assault and disorderly conduct after the rally for the Republican presidential front-runner Wednesday in Fayetteville.
