During his speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas commended former President Donald Trump for his resilience following a recent assassination attempt. Jackson, who previously served as the White House physician for both former President Barack Obama and Trump, expressed his pride in Trump's leadership, stating, 'President Trump and I have been through a lot over the years, but I have never ever been prouder of his leadership than I was last Saturday.'
In his address, Jackson also took the opportunity to criticize President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The congressman, elected in 2020 to represent Texas' 13th Congressional District, highlighted his support for Trump and contrasted it with his disapproval of the current administration.
Jackson's remarks underscore the ongoing political divisions in the United States, with prominent figures like him aligning themselves with different ideologies and leaders. His vocal endorsement of Trump's character and leadership reflects the continued influence of the former president within the Republican Party.
