(NewsNation) — Former President Donald Trump, undeterred by a recent legal setback, returned to the campaign trail in Las Vegas, addressing a crowd of supporters one day after a Manhattan jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll.

Carroll had accused Trump of raping her decades ago, with the former president countering by accusing her of defamation on both television and social media.

Despite the significant financial blow, Trump did not directly mention Carroll during his speech, opting instead to allude to the broader legal situation. This marked the first public address by the former president since the jury’s verdict.

“Look at yesterday, look at all this crap that’s going on. But we keep marching forward. We just keep going,” Trump asserted during the Las Vegas rally, where he spent a substantial portion of his speech focusing on immigration and border security.

Addressing the crowd, Trump expressed his commitment to supporting Texas in addressing border security concerns, vowing to deploy all necessary military and law enforcement resources to seal up the final section of the border. He also highlighted his administration’s accomplishment of constructing over 500 miles of border wall.

“Texas will be given full support and I will deploy all necessary military and law enforcement resources to seal up the final section of border you know we built over 500 miles of wall,” he said.

While Trump’s legal troubles loomed in the background, his supporters at the rally appeared unfazed. Attendees voiced their continued allegiance to the former president, dismissing the recent legal developments.

“If he was doing real crime, serious crimes, I don’t think you’d have the support that he does. And you’re seeing the backing through all these Republican primaries and caucuses so far. I just think it’s grasping at straws,” remarked one supporter.

Looking ahead, Nevada is set to host a Republican primary and caucus early next month. Trump, participating in the caucus, and his opponent, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, participating in the primary, are gearing up for a critical contest.

Winning delegates in Nevada is contingent upon participating in the caucus, with Trump positioning himself as the sole major candidate in this particular race and confidently claiming victory in the state.
