“He’s touched and had more than 50,000 people attend his events, so I think what we are going to be hearing tomorrow is a more policy focused speech talking about the importance of Florida clearly being a key state in the race,” Trump surrogate Healy Baumgardner said.
“As we know, whenever Mr. Trump takes the microphone he has a commanding voice. He resonates with the America audience. He’s having conversations with them and addressing the concerns that they are talking about behind closed doors,” Baumgardner added.
Trump is expected to talk more about his demand for a special prosecutor to investigate Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state. Trump has claimed the Clinton Foundation took donations in exchange for access during her the Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state.
