Donald Trump and the rest of the Republican Party shifted to general election mode on Saturday night during the former president’s first rally since the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago club.
He called the raid “one of the most shocking abuses of power by any administration in American history” and “a travesty of justice”.
“They’re trying to silence me and more importantly they’re trying to silence you. But we will not be silenced, right?” Mr Trump said in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
Investigators recovered thousands of documents in the search of his Florida property, including more than 100 with classified and top secret markings.
Mr Trump’s endorsed picks won many Republican primaries this summer, but many of the candidates he backed were inexperienced and polarising figures now struggling in their November races.
That is putting Senate control — once assumed to be a lock for Republicans — on the line.
