Donald Trump will hold a rally in Harrisburg next week, marking his first return to Pennsylvania since the attempted assassination

Former President Donald Trump will return to Pennsylvania next week for the first time since surviving an assassination attempt in Butler earlier this month.

Trump will hold rally Wednesday night in Harrisburg at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex. The Secret Service encouraged the Trump campaign to abandon outdoor rallies in favor of indoor events, which NBC News reported plans to continue this activity for the foreseeable future.

Doors will open at 2 p.m., with Trump scheduled to speak at 6 p.m. according to the event side.

The Harrisburg rally came less than three weeks after a 20-year-old man opened fire at a Trump rally in Butler. Trump’s ear was grazed by a bullet during the attack, and Corey Comperatore, a former Buffalo Township fire chief, was killed and two other men were wounded.

Trump announced Friday in an all-caps post on Truth Social, a social media app he founded, that he would return to Butler for “A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL CHAMPIONSHIP TO HONOR THE SOUL OF OUR BELOVED FIREFIGHTER HERO COREY AND THOSE BRAVE PATRIOTS WOUNDED TWO WEEKS AGO.”

The former president said details would be released soon.

The Secret Service failed to protect the former president from a gunman who climbed a nearby building — even though he had spotted him 20 minutes earlier — due to several sedate security lapses. The incident led to widespread criticism of the Secret Service. Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned this week after testifying in tense congressional hearing during which she said the shooting was the agency’s “most serious operational failure” in decades.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified at the same hearing that the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, which is about an hour’s drive from Butler, checked the area twice before the attempted attack, including flying a drone to scope out the area. He also searched the internet for queries such as “How far was [assassin Lee Harvey] Oswald with Kennedy,” the same day he registered for Butler’s rally.

Just days after being shot, Trump appeared at the Republican National Convention to accept the party’s nomination for president.

In his speech, he recounted the assassination attempt, telling attendees how he turned his head slightly to show a chart of border crossings and how he heard a loud whooshing sound as he felt something hit him.

“I said to myself, ‘Wow, what was that?’ I knew immediately that it was serious, that we were attacked and in one movement we were on the ground,” Trump said.

“There was bloodshed, but in a way I felt safe because I had God on my side,” he added.

Wednesday’s rally will also be Trump’s first visit to the state since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic primary.

Allyson Bayless, a spokeswoman for Harris’ campaign in Pennsylvania, said in a statement that Trump was coming to the state when “voters here have never been more determined to defeat him.”
