Eric Trump kicked of his father’s formal re-election bid Tuesday night by saying the Trump family is going to ‘fight like hell’ during President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign.
‘He loves this country and we, as a family, love this country. And guys we are going to fight like hell – our family is going to fight like hell for this country,’ Eric Trump said in remarks that helped kick off Trump’s ‘Announcement Day’ rally in Orlando, Florida.
‘We will never ever stop fighting, and we will never ever, ever stop winning,’ he continued.

Trump’s adult children and their partners have been hands on with the administration and often speak as proxies for their father.
All are on hand Tuesday night to cheer on the president at his 2020 launch.
Although Eric Trump often stays out of the spotlight in regards to his father’s presidency, he said the entire Trump family will be spending a lot of time in Florida as the president campaigns to win a second presidential term.
‘We’re going to be spending a lot of time in Florida. So we’re going to see you,’ Eric told the audience, as he pointed out a man dressed in a brick wall printed suit.
Florida was a key swing state in the 2016 elections, which helped Trump beat Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton.
The state has also become like a second home to the president, who often takes time off to golf and vacation at his Mar-a-Lago club in West Palm Beach.
All of Trump’s adult children joined him for a state visit to the United Kingdom earlier this month to meet with the royal family, even though only Ivanka Trump and her husband – Trump’s son-in-law – Jared Kushner have official administration positions.

Both Ivanka and Jared serve as senior advisers to Trump.
At the Tuesday night rally, Lara Trump, Eric’s wife, was the first of the family to speak.
After Eric concluded his remarks, Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son – who often makes appearances at rallies and campaign events – took stage.
He also welcomed his partner, and former Fox News host, Kimberly Guilyfoyle to the rally stage at the fully-filled Amway Center.
Guilfoyle left the Trump-favored network in July 2018 to join America First Policies, a pro-Donald Trump Super PAC, and campaign for the 2018 midterm elections.
