(UTV|COLOMBO) – US President Donald Trump has formally launched his re-election campaign, urging supporters to “keep this team in place” for four more years.

The Republican president made his case before thousands of supporters at a rally in Florida, calling the state “my second home”.

Mr Trump used the announcement to lash out at Democrats, accusing them of trying to “rip your country apart”.

Early polls place Mr Trump behind some potential Democratic challengers.

He entered the stage with his wife Melania, who said she was “excited” to be first lady for six more years.

Senior figures from the White House, including Vice President Mike Pence and outgoing press secretary Sarah Sanders, also spoke at the rally.
