Trump after getting shot at Pennsylvania rally 7-13-2024

Former President Donald Trump was rushed off the stage just minutes into his rally in Butler, Pa., on Saturday, after loud sounds were heard. Trump had blood on the side of his head and his ear.

Trump was speaking when he reached for the side of his face as popping sounds rang out over the rally. He then crouched down as Secret Service agents rushed the stage and surrounded him.

Screams from the audience rang out as the scene unfolded.

President Joe Biden, who is in Delaware for the weekend, has been briefed on the situation, according to a senior White House official.

President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will hold a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, July 13, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. ET to emphasize the horrendous effects Biden’s dishonest presidency has had on our country.

Trump is scheduled to hold a rally Saturday evening in Butler Pennsylvania just outside of Pittsburgh. The primetime scheduling and location would seem to provide an ideal opportunity to unveil his pick if the future Republican vice presidential candidate's plane is currently parked in an undisclosed hangar, an empty spot on its fuselage for where a decal featuring his or her name will soon be placed. Trump has two rallies planned. The first is scheduled for Tuesday evening at his golf club in Doral, Florida, near Miami. The primetime scheduling and location would seem to provide an ideal opportunity to unveil his pick if it is Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a Miami native who is one of his top contenders. Rubio will be in attendance at the event, according to an adviser familiar with the senator’s plans, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity about the selection process. On Saturday Trump will travel to the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania for an afternoon rally at the Butler Farm Show. The venue, outside of Pittsburgh, is not far from the border of Ohio, which is home to Sen. JD Vance, another potential pick. Also said to be on Trump's short list is North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who has grown close to the former president since he dropped his own bid for the nomination before voting began. Trump doesn't need a rally to unveil his pick. He could simply announce it on social media whenever he likes.
