Former President Donald Trump made a triumphant return to Pennsylvania on Wednesday, holding his first campaign event in the state since narrowly escaping an assassination attempt in Butler County. The rally, held at Harrisburg’s New Holland Arena, drew a capacity crowd of 7,600 pumped-up supporters who cheered on the former president as he delivered a fiery speech.
During his speech, Trump took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her “the architect of the border invasion” and accusing her of supporting far-left policies that would turn the country into a Communist state. Supporters outside the arena expressed their excitement at seeing Trump in person, with one couple describing the rally as “almost better than any concert I’ve been to.”
Many supporters voiced their unwavering support for Trump, with one attendee saying, “He’s been my president from day one – it never stopped. He’s the man to do the job. He’s done it once, and he can do it again.” Another supporter highlighted the importance of voting in the upcoming election, urging fellow voters to “pray and vote.”
The rally also included a moment of silence in memory of Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the assassination attempt on July 13. Trump thanked the crowd for their support and urged them to continue fighting for his re-election in November.
Overall, the rally was a high-energy event that left supporters feeling inspired and ready to support Trump in his bid for a second term. With the election just around the corner, Trump’s visit to Pennsylvania served as a reminder of the enthusiasm and dedication of his supporters in the state.
