On October 5, Mr. Trump returned to campaign in the city of Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was unsuccessfully assassinated in July 2024, hoping to attract support in this battleground state.
“I return to Butler after tragedy and pain to convey a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and the American people,” said Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump.

At the rally, Mr. Trump also took the time to thank the forces who protected him, mourned the dead and criticized the person who attempted to assassinate him as a “fiendish monster.”
“Exactly 12 weeks ago tonight, right here, a cold-blooded assassin wanted my silence,” Mr. Trump said, vowing that he would “never give up.”
Below tens of thousands of people cheered, chanting “fight, fight, fight”. This is what Mr. Trump shouted after the moment he was assassinated in Butler.
Mr. Trump criticized new political opponents as “internal enemies” who pushed for his prosecution and “who knows, maybe even tried to kill me.”
With only 1 month left before the election, Mr. Trump is still competing with his Democratic Party opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
The race is neck and neck with no candidate showing a clear advantage.
According to the latest Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll, Ms. Harris has reduced Mr. Trump’s leading position in several battleground states.
In recent days, Mr. Trump has stepped up his campaign in swing states. “And if we win in Pennsylvania, we will win the whole thing,” Mr. Trump said on October 5.
