Former President Donald Trump held a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, nearly three months after a failed assassination attempt.
This event featured billionaire Elon Musk, who joined Trump on the campaign trail for the first time.
Trump opened the rally by recalling the July incident, where gunfire broke out, praising the Secret Service for their swift action. Security was heightened at this rally, with measures like a larger perimeter and snipers positioned to prevent another attack.
Trump paid tribute to firefighter Corey Comperatore, who lost his life in the July attack, and held a moment of silence in his honor. Musk took the stage to express support for Trump, emphasizing the importance of the upcoming election.
Senator JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, also spoke, attributing the assassination attempts to divisive rhetoric from Democrats.
The event saw an emotional response from attendees, including those present during the previous shooting, who viewed Trump’s return as a testament to his resilience.
