Trump calls on 'angry majority' send Democrats a message as elections in four states could give early peek into 2020

Matt Bevin.
At one point, the president reminded the audience that American special forces had just provided "the world's number-one terrorist a one-way ticket to hell," in a colorful reference to the now-dead Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Click here for more on our top story.
