GOP senator invites Trump to 'an appreciation event like you've never seen' in deep-red state
FIRST ON FOX: Every year, the small town of Sturgis, South Dakota, explodes from just a few thousand residents to hundreds of thousands of people making the pilgrimage to the Buffalo Chip campground. There, they participate in the nation's largest motorcycle rally, where camaraderie, motor oil and rock and roll permeate the dusty campground. And one Republican senator wants President Donald Trump to be the headlining guest. Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., extended an invitation exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital to the president to attend his home state's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Rounds left the door open for Trump to either come to the rally's 85th anniversary this year, or to celebrate America's 250th anniversary next year. "South Dakota is Trump Country," Rounds said. "We'd love to introduce you on stage during one of our premier concerts, in front of tens of thousands of fans, and we're thoroughly convinced you'll be impressed with the reception." "This year, the event is our 85th Anniversary — which will draw rally-goers from every corner of the country and throughout the world," he continued. "Next year, the 250th anniversary of our country will also be a blow-out event. We'd be honored to host you whenever it may work in your schedule." To Rounds' point, South Dakota is indeed "Trump Country." The president has won the state each cycle that he has run, averaging a roughly 30-point victory margin over his opponents. This year's rally will take place from Aug. 1 to Aug. 10 and will feature a number of artists, including ZZ Top, Jason Aldean, Jefferson Starship, Nickleback and others. "We're biased, but it's an experience every red-blooded American should witness, or better yet, participate in," Rounds said. "Thank you for leading our great country. We'd love to honor you with an appreciation event like you've never seen," he continued. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.

AC/DC Sends Multiple Smashes Back To The Billboard Charts
AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' returns to No. 1 on Hard Rock Digital Song Sales list while 'Back in Black' ... More reenters at No. 10, and both tunes reach multiple Billboard charts. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - MAY 21: Brian Johnson of AC/DC performs during the Power Up tour at Nissan Stadium on May 21, 2025 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by) Of all the many hits that AC/DC has released throughout the years, two stand out as the group's most enduring in the United States. It's those two tracks — 'Thunderstruck' and 'Back in Black' — that most frequently appear on the Billboard rankings. Between the two, 'Thunderstruck' can almost always be found on multiple lists, while during the right frames, 'Back in Black' also carves out a home on a ranking or two. Both of those smashes currently appear on multiple tallies, and they even manage to return to one chart apiece and live on another as well. 'Back in Black' Returns to the Top 10 Of the two comebacks, 'Back in Black' earns the loftier return at the moment. The tune reenters the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart at No. 10, coming in last place. The smash already ranks as one of AC/DC's top-performing cuts on the list of the bestselling hard rock tracks in the country, and it recently passed a decade on the tally. As it returns to the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, 'Back in Black' is also a winner again on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs tally, where it slips slightly to No. 24. 'Thunderstruck' Becomes a Global Smash Again 'Thunderstruck' also breaks back onto one list, and while it earns a much lower comeback than 'Back in Black,' it appears on twice as many Billboard rankings. 'Thunderstruck' reappears on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. in second-to-last place, at No. 199. At the same time, it climbs 10 spots on the Billboard Global 200 to No. 158, as American consumption clearly plays a big role in where AC/DC's track lands on the worldwide roster. 'Thunderstruck' Rockets to No. 1 'Thunderstruck' performs significantly better when looking at Billboard's U.S.-based tallies. The cut jumps from No. 3 to No. 1 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales ranking, earning its sixty-first stay in the penthouse. The tune is a top five win on two of the company's hard rock-only lists, as 'Thunderstruck' pushes to No. 4 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs roster.
