Former President Trump announced to a crowd Friday night he "just took off the last bandage" from his ear after an attempted assassination nearly two weeks ago.

The Believer's Summit, hosted by Turning Point Action in West Palm Beach, focused on reaching voters of faith. Dr. Ben Carson, former HUD Secretary, preceded the former president.

"And we want to thank each and every one of the believers in this room for your prayers and your incredible support. I really did appreciate it," Trump said.

"Something was working. That we know. Something was working. So, I thank you very much. And I stand before you tonight, thanks to the power of prayer and the grace of Almighty God," he added.

"As I think you can see, I've recovered well. And, in fact, I just took off the last bandage off of my ear."

The crowd roared with applause as the former president gestured to his injured ear.

"I just got it off," he clarified. "I took it off for this group. I don't know why I did that for this group, but that's it. I think that's it."

Trump's speech included attacks against his presumptive Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, calling the vice president "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.

TRUMP'S FORMER DOCTOR GIVES HEALTH UPDATE, CALLS OUT WRAY AS FBI AFFIRMS BULLET STRUCK FORMER PRESIDENT

"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 July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.

"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."

"What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle," the FBI confirmed Friday to Fox News Digital.

Trump and running mate JD Vance, the Ohio senator, are scheduled to appear for a campaign rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, Saturday.

Vice President Kamala Harris no longer supports a fracking ban, in a change in her stance during the last presidential election, her campaign said on Friday, according to a report. 

Before she dropped her bid for president in 2019 and joined President Biden’s ticket, she said in a CNN town hall "there’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking."

"And starting with what we can do on day one around public lands, right?" she continued. "And then there has to be legislation, but, yes, that’s something I’ve taken on in California. I have a history of working on this issue and to your point we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the health and safety of communities."

Harris also cosponsored the Green New Deal as a senator in 2019, a proposal to stem climate change that includes a ban on fracking. 

TRUMP QUICKLY MOVES TO DEFINE HARRIS AS ‘MORE LEFT THAN BERNIE SANDERS’

"Climate change is real, and it poses an existential threat to us as human beings, and it is within our power to do something about it," Harris said on the campaign trail that year before exiting the race, according to The New York Times. "I am supporting the Green New Deal."

However, Biden’s campaign and his administration have not backed banning fracking despite Biden once saying during a primary debate "We would make sure it’s eliminated." His campaign later clarified that he "supports eliminating subsidies for coal and gas and deploying carbon capture."   

Since Biden announced he is dropping out of the race and endorsed Harris last Sunday, she has moderated some of her positions from her 2019 run, in which she embraced more progressive policies. 

Trump was quick to paint her as a "radical liberal" since she became the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Harris is the "most incompetent and far-left vice president in American history," the former president told a rally crowd in Charlotte on Wednesday. 

Trump charged that Harris "has been the ultra-liberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe. She is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country if she ever gets the chance to get into office."

He added, "She wants no fracking. You’re going to be paying a lot of money. You’re going to be paying so much. You’re going to say ‘bring back Trump.’"

Telling The Hill that Harris no longer wants to ban fracking, her campaign pushed back on Trump’s rhetoric. 

"Trump’s false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans to enrich oil and gas executives at the expense of the middle class," the campaign told The Hill. "The Biden-Harris Administration passed the largest ever climate change legislation and under their leadership, America now has the highest ever domestic energy production," the spokesperson said in an email. "This Administration created 300,000 energy jobs, while Trump lost nearly a million and his Project 2025 would undo the enormous progress we’ve made the past four years."

In a statement to Fox News Digital, National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Mike Marinella, said, "Kamala Harris is the most far-left progressive presidential nominee in history, and extreme Democrats in the Rust Belt now own every single policy she supports."

He added, "A fracking ban would be disastrous for workers and families, and extreme Democrats’ mission to force Biden to step aside and replace him with San Francisco radical Kamala Harris shows exactly how out of touch they are with their voters."

Fox News Digital has reached out to Harris’ campaign for comment. 

Fox News' Paul Steinhauser and Andrew Mark Miller contributed to this report. 

A top Democratic super PAC has launched a massive ad buy across several battleground states to boost Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential candidacy leading up to the Democratic Party’s convention in Chicago next month.

Future Forward, the largest Democratic-leaning super PAC, announced this week it will spend $50 million supporting Harris in six states in the next three weeks ahead of the convention in Chicago, The Washington Post reported. 

Additionally, the outlet reported that the second-largest independent supporter of Democrats, American Bridge 21st Century, will start placing ads Friday in the key swing state of Michigan.

On top of that, Women Vote, part of the Emily’s List network, announced Thursday it was spending $2 million to target younger women in four battleground states. 

HARRIS WON'T SAY IF SHE'S PUSHING HAMAS TO AGREE TO A CEASE-FIRE AFTER PUBLICLY PRESSURING NETANYAHU

"We’re ready to hit the ground running to make sure voters know that Kamala Harris will be a president that fights for them," Future Forward President Chauncey McLean told The Washington Post Thursday. 

"She is focused on improving the lives of all Americans, while Donald Trump is only focused on himself."

TAKE IT FROM ME, REPUBLICANS: KAMALA HARRIS IS A STRONG CANDIDATE. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HER

David Axelrod, a former top adviser to former President Obama, called the move a "big development."

"Pro-Harris SuperPAC to launch major buy in the battleground states, with an initial spot to highlight her battles as a DA, attorney general and VP," Axelrod posted on X.

"Essential air cover, especially as the Trump forces spend to define her negatively."

One of the ads will describe Harris as "the district attorney who protected children from sexual predators" and "the attorney general who stood up to the big banks to protect homeowners and won."

The Washington Post reported that MAGA Inc. is also planning to spend $32 million going after Harris before Labor Day, which will bring its total spending during that period to $72 million. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the Trump campaign for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

A new survey compiled after Biden dropped out of the race reveals Trump and Harris are tied in the crucial swing state of Michigan despite the former president's previous lead by nearly double digits.

National polls have sent mixed signals, with some showing a tie and some showing a slight lead for either candidate. 

The New York Times/Siena College released a new survey this week that found Trump leads Harris by only one percentage point among likely voters, 48% to 47%. Among registered voters, Trump led Harris by two percentage points.

Following the protests at Union Station by anti-Israel agitators defacing federal property in protest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress, a Park Police union is pushing back against criticism that only a few arrests were made.

Thousands of Hamas-sympathizing agitators descended on Washington, D.C., Tuesday, at one point defacing federal monuments with phrases in support of the terrorist group responsible for the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, saying, "Hamas is coming." 

Twenty-three people were arrested at the protests, but some have suggested that number should have been higher. 

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., posted on X, "How many more times are they going to allow leftist degenerates who support terrorism and hate America to vandalize property and attack police? There should have been hundreds of arrests today in D.C. not just 23."

But the U.S. Park Police Labor Committee is pushing back.

"Our officers on the ground did everything they could to protect life and property. In fact, despite having only 29 officers available to mitigate damage — 29! — with no additional help from the Department of the Interior, we processed several arrests for charges ranging from assault on a police officer to destruction of government property," Kenneth Spencer, chairman of the United States Park Police Fraternal Order of Police, said in a statement. 

"That's why it's so disheartening to hear some members of Congress and members of the media, many of whom describe themselves as ‘champions’ of law enforcement, suggesting that officers gave protesters a ‘pass’ or that insufficient arrests were made. 

"Nothing could be further from the truth. Anyone who truly cares to understand the problem would see that our officer staffing crisis is at the root of our agency's mission readiness. A small unit of 29 officers arrested 10 individuals while being assaulted by a mob of thousands. We simply did not have the staffing or resources to accomplish a mass arrest operation."

At least one demonstrator, whose face was covered, was spotted by Fox News carrying what appeared to be the flag of the terrorist group Hamas while others were heard shouting "Allahu Akbar."

The White House condemned the protests Wednesday evening, calling the chaos "disgraceful." 

"Identifying with evil terrorist organizations like Hamas, burning the American flag or forcibly removing the American flag and replacing it with another is disgraceful," White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a comment to Fox News Digital Wednesday evening. 

Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy issued a warning to Republicans this week that they need to be aware of some "hard realities" around the way they message their criticisms of Vice President Kamala Harris now that she is the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.

"The bottom line is, I think what's happened is a lot of Republicans were caught by surprise after the convention," Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital on Friday. "That's resulted in some reactive steps that I don't think all make sense. And I think they're actually hurting us."

Ramaswamy spoke to Fox News Digital about a viral comment he posted Thursday on X that was seen by over 3 million people that addressed issues and concerns he has seen with the way Republicans are talking about the matchup between Harris and former President Trump.

Ramswamy’s first point and concern is that Republicans are calling for Biden to step down or be removed from office, using the argument that if he is not capable of running for president, he isn’t capable of serving as president.

VIVEK RAMASWAMY 'WOULD CONSIDER' TAKING JD VANCE'S SENATE SEAT IF ASKED

"I think this makes absolutely zero sense and here's why," Ramaswamy explained. "Kamala Harris is unproven as a political leader, let alone as the U.S. president. Why put her in a position as the U.S. president with all the benefits of incumbency? Oval Office addresses, God forbid, to even change policy or foreign policy, to be able to create circumstances that make her look better. That's one of the advantages that many incumbent presidents, the sad truth is, have used throughout American history."

Ramaswamy said calling on Biden to step down is "another example" of Republicans being "reactive," which ends up "hurting our chances rather than helping us."

"It's not going to be good for America and it's not going to be good for Republican electoral prospects if Kamala Harris is the President of the United States of America for even a short period of time, for even a minute," Ramaswamy said. "I don't think that's something we should want, and it doesn't make sense and that's why I called it out."

Many Republicans have focused on Harris’ record as a prosecutor, which Ramaswamy warned could backfire if they focus too much on attacks that she "locked up" too many people for petty crimes.

"So look, this is the other category of criticisms I see coming, even from some conservatives, saying that she locked up too many people while she was a prosecutor," he said. "This is the wrong line of attack. It doesn't make sense."

Ramaswamy continued, "In fact, one of the images that Kamala Harris is trying to project is that she's somehow going to be a law-and-order presidential candidate. I find that laughable. Look at under the Democratic regime, including policies that she has supported, clear the jails, defund the police. That's resulted in a wave of rampant crime in this country. People in the United States of America, across the aisle and both camps, are dead set against this wave of crime. But if against that backdrop, Republicans are criticizing her for locking too many people up, it doesn't make sense because it legitimizes the otherwise laughable claim that she's a law-and-order candidate."

Republicans have also accused Harris of covering up Biden’s health issues while at the same time accusing the vice president of orchestrating a soft "coup" to remove him from the ticket. Ramswamy told Fox News Digital those two messages don’t mesh.

"The main point is what voters really care about is the future," he said. "What are we actually going to deliver? And the more we focus on bickering on that past political missteps or whatever from the Democratic side, the more small-minded we're going to be seen as being.

"On one hand, you have Republicans saying that Kamala Harris covered up for Joe Biden. She was covering for him and telling the public that he was actually a great president, when in fact he wasn't cognitively capable. On the other hand, at the same time, we're saying that Kamala staged this coup against Biden. It doesn't make sense to many independent voters to say both of those things at the same time. They're self-contradictory. And if we say things that don't make sense, we're more likely to lose votes, which is the thing that I care most about. So I come back to the basic point. That's not how we're going to win this election. We're not going to win this election by picking at these nit-picking… ‘inside baseball’ political criticisms of Kamala. It doesn't matter. The voters don't care."

FLASHBACK: NEW HARRIS CAMPAIGN SENIOR ADVISER MADE SEVERAL INSENSITIVE COMMENTS ABOUT WOMEN, GAY PEOPLE

Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital that Harris is not the "biggest risk" the Republican side faces, but rather the "shenanigans on the Democratic side."

"The voters don't love Kamala Harris on her own terms," Ramaswamy said. "We know that because even when she was running in the Democratic primary, she didn't even make it to the Iowa caucus. I was an unknown 37-year-old businessman, ran for office for the first time as U.S. president last year. I have more delegates that have supported me for U.S. president than Kamala Harris ever has had. That's because voters don't find her compelling. So it's not that Kamala Harris is our biggest risk."

When asked if some Republicans are underestimating Harris’ ability to win, Ramswamy said that "complacency" is always a concern.

"You got to compete like you're behind, or else you soon will be," he said. "We're not up against a candidate. It's not Kamala. It's not Joe. It's not any other individual candidate. We are up against a machine and the more we understand that, we have formidable opponents. Let's take stock of some sobering realities. Republicans have lost devastating defeats relative to expectations in 2018, 2020, 2022.

"I don't want to see the same thing happen in 2024. So, you know what? ‘Fool me once. Shame on you. Fool me twice. Shame on me.’ The old adage means something for a reason. I think our movement needs to wake up and say that winning by a little bit shouldn't even be our goal. We've got to win by a landslide, and a landslide minus some shenanigans in margin is still going to be a victory. That's the attitude we need."

Ramaswamy explained his belief that Democrats were waiting until after the Republican National Convention to have "full information," and that it is understandable Republicans were caught "flat-footed," but ultimately they will be victorious in November if they stay focused. 

"It doesn't matter because Kamala Harris—we can easily defeat Kamala Harris in the same landslide we were going to defeat Joe Biden on," he said. "But it's not going to be by nit-picking on random political criticisms of her. I think those could backfire. I think the way we're going to do it is by articulating our own vision of who we are and what we stand for. And if so, we win this thing not only in a landslide, but we unite this country and revive our country, which is something we're hungry for."
