Former President Trump said "Crooked Joe Biden" poses a "threat to democracy," vowing to "crush" him at the ballot box in November 2024 and to "settle our unfinished business." 

Trump hosted a campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire Thursday, welcoming the crowd of nearly 2,000 people, and touting more than 50 endorsements from Granite State officials, while reacting to Biden’s pre-taped re-election campaign announcement.

BIDEN, HARRIS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE THEIR 2024 RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN

"Joe Biden officially announced that he will seek four more disastrous years in the White House," Trump said. He vowed to "rescue America" from another four years of "disastrous" Democratic policies. 

Trump, who currently is leading the Republican 2024 presidential primary field by more than 30 points in a number of new polls this week, including the latest Fox News poll, shifted to make a "major announcement."

"I will be retiring the name ‘crooked’ from Hillary Clinton," Trump said. "And I’m going to give her a new name—I don’t know, like maybe lovely Hillary or beautiful Hillary—but I’m going to retire the name ‘Crooked’ so that we can use the name for Joe Biden, because he’ll be known from now on as Crooked Joe Biden."

Trump joked that Clinton is "out there someplace celebrating" the retirement of his 2016 nickname for her, and added that there has "never been anyone in the history of American politics so crooked or dishonest as Joe Biden." 

"And the press absolutely refuses to report it," Trump said, slamming Biden for appearing to use a cheat sheet at a White House press conference Wednesday afternoon showing a reporter’s name and pre-planned question.

Trump, pointing to Biden’s re-election campaign announcement and his comments that "MAGA pose a threat to democracy," stressed that "there is no threat there."

"No," Trump said. "It is Biden who poses the threat to democracy because he is grossly incompetent, he has no idea what he is doing and basically, he doesn’t have a clue, and that is a very bad position to put our country in." 

He added: "Our country is in a very, very dangerous position right now. Very, very dangerous." 

Trump said the United States is a nation "in serious decline" that has "lost its way."

"We are led by a hopeless person, but we will win in 2024 and make America great again," Trump said. "We can do it. It’s not too late."

"He wants to finish the job of destroying our country," Trump said. "But on that, he's actually very close—he is very close to finishing the job."

He added: "We’re going to beat them at the ballot box and we’re going to settle our unfinished business. It is unfinished."

The crowd erupted in chants of "we love Trump."

"I love you too," he said. "That’s why I am doing this. I had a nice life. I didn’t have to go before grand juries every time I fly over a state—if I fly over a state that happens to be Democrat-run, they sent me a subpoena to go before a grand jury. These people are sick— they’re weaponizing that stuff."

Trump’s campaign event was one of the first since he pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records as part of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s years-long investigation.

The latest Fox News Poll, released late Wednesday, has Trump leading the Republican presidential primary field with 53% support.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stood at 21%, former Vice President Mike Pence at 6%, Former Amb. Nikki Haley at 4%, Vivek Ramaswamy at 3%, and Sen. Tim Scott and former Rep.Liz Cheney at 2% each. Greg Abbott, Chris Christie, Larry Elder, Chris Sununu and Glenn Youngkin garner 1% apiece. Asa Hutchinson, Kristi Noem and Francis Suarez get less than 1%.

Trump used his speech to lay out a number of his proposed policies--including restoring the economy, securing the border, holding China accountable for COVID, upholding the Second Amendment, "restoring" free speech, keeping "men out of women's sports, and prohibiting "child sexual mutilation in all 50 states," among other topics. 

"This is what we must do to save our country from destruction," Trump said. "2024 is the final battle."

He added: "If we don't take over, we’re not going to have a country anymore."

Lawmakers in Ohio are looking to criminalize the use of Apple AirTags and other tracking devices being used for stalking.

A Senate committee on Tuesday took up the bill which would ban the use of AirTags or other tracking devices being used to track a person or their property without consent.

One of the bill's sponsors, Republican Sen. Nathan Manning, said that there have been several recent instances of tracking devices being used to stalk someone else.

"Obviously, technology can be a great thing for convenience, for safety, but it can also be a dangerous thing, and that’s what we’re seeing with these tracking devices," Manning told other lawmakers.

The bill failed to gain support during the 2022 general assembly in Ohio, but would create a criminal offense for using a tracking device, such as an AirTag, to stalk an individual.

Democrat Sen. Nickie Antonio said that it's very easy to use the small device to track someone's whereabouts. 

"You can see how easy it is to just slip it into someone’s pocket or purse or other items of clothing without their knowledge," Antonio said.

AUSTRALIAN WOMAN DISCOVERS BOYFRIEND PLANTED APPLE AIRTAG IN CAR TO TRACK HER: 'HE FINALLY CONFESSED'

Attorney General Dave Yost is supporting the bill and testified to legislators in 2022 that people are using AirTags for "nefarious purposes."

"Because prosecuting a stalking charge typically requires demonstrating a pattern of behavior, tagging a vehicle without the owner’s permission can prove to be a difficult case to charge under current law," Yost added.

Under Senate Bill 100, people who are convicted could face a $1,000 fine or up to six months in jail.

A spokesperson for Apple has previously pointed Fox News Digital to a recent update and stated that it works with law enforcement to track down AirTags used for criminal purposes.

"AirTag was designed to help people locate their personal belongings, not to track people or another person’s property, and we condemn in the strongest possible terms any malicious use of our products. Unwanted tracking has long been a societal problem, and we took this concern seriously in the design of AirTag. It’s why the Find My network is built with privacy in mind, uses end-to-end encryption, and why we innovated with the first-ever proactive system to alert you of unwanted tracking. We hope this starts an industry trend for others to also provide these sorts of proactive warnings in their products," the spokesperson said.
