Former President Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pa., on Saturday, the site of the July assassination attempt against him. He rallied with supporters and paid tribute to a victim of the incident.
What Happened: Trump made his way back to the location where a shooting took place during a rally in July. The former president, who was wounded in the attack, was accompanied by several notable figures, including Elon Musk.
The rally was organized in honor of Corey Comperatore, a supporter who tragically lost his life in the July shooting. Trump acknowledged Comperatore and other victims of the shooting, leading a moment of silence exactly 12 weeks after the shooting commenced.
"Tonight, I return to Butler in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache to deliver a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and the people of America: Our movement to Make America Great Again stands stronger, prouder, more united, more determined, and nearer to victory than ever before," The Hill quoted Trump saying at the rally.
"If we win Pennsylvania, we will win the whole thing. The whole thing will be won," Trump added.
Musk shared the stage with Trump, endorsing the former president and expressing criticism towards Democrats.

"The true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire. We had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist pumping after getting shot," Musk said during the rally.
Trump's reappearance in Butler attracted a large audience, matching the size of his earlier rallies. The former president highlighted the significance of Pennsylvania in the forthcoming election and encouraged his supporters to cast their votes.
The rally takes place amidst polls indicating a close contest between Trump and Vice President Harris in crucial swing states, with Election Day less than a month away.
Why It Matters: The return of Trump to the site of the assassination attempt signifies his resilience and determination. His endorsement by Elon Musk, a prominent figure in the tech industry, could potentially sway voters.
The rally's large turnout indicates a strong base of support for Trump, which could be pivotal in the upcoming election. The emphasis on Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, underscores the state's importance in determining the election outcome.
With the race between Trump and Harris tightening, every vote and every rally could make a significant difference.
