“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” stated campaign spokesman Steven Cheung. “He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.” A Secret Service statement reassured the public that “the former president is safe.”
During the rally, Trump was presenting a chart of border crossing statistics when the loud bangs were heard. He appeared to reach towards his neck, and there seemed to be blood on his face. His protective detail swiftly intervened, and amidst the crowd’s screams, Trump was ushered off the stage.
Despite the commotion, Trump briefly returned to the stage, fist-pumping to a cheering crowd before his motorcade left the venue. His current condition has not been officially disclosed.
Local police have begun clearing the fairgrounds, now being treated as a crime scene. President Joe Biden has been briefed on the situation, according to the White House.
Donald Trump Jr. shared a photo on X (formerly Twitter), showing Trump with a bloodied face and a raised fist in front of an American flag, captioned: “He’ll never stop fighting to Save America.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro both expressed their concern and condemned the violence. Governor Shapiro emphasized that “violence targeted at any political party or political leader is absolutely unacceptable. It has no place in Pennsylvania or the United States.”
