Former President Donald Trump announced his upcoming event in Butler, Pennsylvania, scheduled for next weekend. This event holds significance as it is the location of the first assassination attempt on him earlier this summer. Trump expressed excitement about the event during a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, stating that a large number of people are expected to attend and emphasizing that it will be a safe environment.
Referring to the previous incident in July where a gunman fired on the crowd, Trump humorously mentioned that he might start his speech by saying, 'As I was saying,' alluding to the interruption caused by the shooting. He also mentioned that Butler has now become a notable tourist destination and shared his intention to honor Corey Comperatore, the individual who lost his life in the July shooting.
Trump acknowledged Republican Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania, who chairs the bipartisan House task force investigating the assassination attempt. He praised the panel's work as 'amazing' and highlighted the bipartisan cooperation that has been evident throughout the investigation.
The event in Butler, Pennsylvania, is anticipated to draw significant attention and attendance, with Trump's presence adding to the significance of the occasion. As preparations are underway for the event, security measures are expected to be stringent to ensure the safety of all attendees.
