US President Donald Trump releases his first re-election campaign video

President Donald Trump released his first re-election campaign video, hours before he is expected to formally launch, what may be an uphill battle to persuade voters, to give him four more years in office.

The video shows thousands of supporters cheering him on, at a rally, in the midwestern state of Wisconsin, which Trump carried in the 2016 election by one percentage points.

Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes proved to be the tipping point in the election, giving Trump the 270 electoral votes to win the presidential election.

Later in the day, Trump, who has long made it known he is running for re-election, is expected to make his case with gusto for a second term at an evening rally in Orlando, Florida.
