Here’s what New York Post reported:

Former President Donald Trump vowed Monday that he will continue to hold outdoor rallies despite the recent assassination attempt against him, which he revealed his wife, Melania, was “watching live.”

“Yeah, I’m going to do rallies [outside],” Trump, 78, told Fox News host Laura Ingraham when asked if he would be holding future outdoor events in light of the July 13 shooting at his Butler, Pa., campaign rally.

The Secret Service has reportedly encouraged the former president’s campaign to no longer host outdoor events over security concerns. All of Trump’s campaign events since the assassination attempt have been held indoors.

“I think it’s important symbolically,” the Republican nominee for president said of his upcoming return to the town where the assassination attempt took place.
