CV NEWS FEED // The campaign of former President Donald Trump stated that in a week-and-a-half he will return to the place where he almost lost his life at the hands of a would-be assassin on July 13.
“On Saturday, October 5th, 2024, President Donald J. Trump will return to Butler, Pennsylvania to hold a rally on the very same ground where he came within a quarter of an inch of losing his life less than three months ago,” the Trump-Vance campaign announced in a Wednesday statement.
“President Trump’s return to Butler will mark his first visit to the site of the attack since he was struck by an assassin’s bullet on July 13th—but was saved in what the world has recognized as an act of divine providence,” the statement added.
The Trump campaign noted that at the early October rally, the 45th president “will honor the memory of Corey Comperatore, who heroically sacrificed his life to shield his wife and daughters from the bullets on that terrible day.”
Per the statement, Trump on October 5 will also honor the two rally attendees who were critically wounded in the shooting.
“He will express his deep gratitude to law enforcement and first responders, and thank the entire community for their outpouring of love and support in the wake of the attack,” the campaign added.

“President Trump’s return to Butler will stand as a tribute to the American spirit,” the statement continued:
In America, we do not let monsters like that evil assassin have the last word. Every time our nation is struck by attack or hardship, we rally, we persevere, and we prevail. When terrorists knocked down our towering skyscrapers, we rebuilt taller. When our communities are ravaged by fire, storm, or natural disaster, we pull together and come back stronger.
“And when a shooter attacked our democracy and tried to end this movement, President Trump will return to the site,” the campaign emphasized.
The statement indicated that following both the Butler shooting and the September 15 attempt on his life, “President Trump is more determined than ever to see his mission through to the end.”
“In that Butler field on July 13th, he took a bullet for democracy,” the Trump camp concluded, “and on November 5th, he is going to save our democracy.”
