Trump to Continue Outdoor Rallies Despite Assassination Attempt and Secret Service Concerns

Jul 27, 2024, 03:05 PM

Former President Donald Trump has announced on Truth Social that he will continue to hold outdoor rallies despite recommendations from the U.S. Secret Service to cease such events. Trump stated that the Secret Service has agreed to substantially increase their protection measures to ensure his safety. This decision follows an assassination attempt earlier this month, where Trump was wounded in his right ear during a rally in Pennsylvania. Trump emphasized that no one should be allowed to impede free speech or gatherings, reinforcing his commitment to outdoor rallies. He also mentioned plans to return to Butler, Pennsylvania for another rally.
