Trump's speech included attacks against his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he called a "bum."

"Three weeks ago, she was a bum, a failed vice president and a failed administration with millions of people crossing. And she was the border czar. Now they're trying to say she never was," the former president said.

"If radical liberal Kamala Harris gets in and, by the way, there are numerous ways of saying her name, they were explaining to me. … I said, don't worry about it. Doesn't matter what I say. I couldn't care less if I mispronounce it or not. I couldn't care less."

Dr. Ronny Jackson, the former White House doctor, released a letter earlier Friday offering an update on Trump's health after the assassination attempt.

"I want to reassure the American people and the rest of the world that President Trump is doing extremely well," Jackson said.

"He is rapidly recovering from the gunshot wound to his right ear. I will continue to be available to assist President Trump and his personal physician in any way they see fit and will provide updates as necessary and with the permission of President Trump."

The FBI confirmed to Fox News Digital on Friday that what struck Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented, fired from the deceased subject's rifle.

Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, are scheduled to appear for a campaign rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on Saturday.
