Per CNN:

Donald Trump is returning Saturday to the Pennsylvania venue where he narrowly survived an assassination attempt in July, holding a high-profile rally in what his allies are billing as a key moment as the 2024 race for the White House enters its final month.

The former president described this weekend’s trip to Butler, an hour’s drive north of Pittsburgh in what could be the election’s most important swing state, as unfinished business.

“I said that day when I was shot, I said, ‘We’re coming back. We’re going to come back.’ And I’m fulfilling a promise,” Trump said in an interview with NewsNation this week. “I’m fulfilling, really, an obligation.”

But while the venue is the same, everything else about the 2024 presidential race has been turned on its head since a gunman fired on the crowd and a bullet grazed Trump’s ear only minutes after he started speaking that early summer night, killing one attendee and injuring two others.

The assassination attempt, followed by a separate incident last month while Trump was playing golf in Florida, underscored the remarkable volatility and unpredictability of the closing stretch of a presidential race that has been historic on a variety of fronts.

President Joe Biden, facing mounting pressure within his own party after a poor debate showing in June, dropped out eight days after the shooting in Butler. And Vice President Kamala Harris’ late ascension to the top of the Democratic ticket shifted the election’s dynamics and forced Trump to adapt to a much different challenge than the 2020 rematch for which both parties had been preparing.

Per CBS 4:

It’s been 12 weeks since former President Donald Trump was struck by a bullet from a would-be assassin in Pennsylvania.

Trump is expected to return to Butler on Saturday to hold a campaign rally at the same site where he almost lost his life.

The rally will honor the man who was killed shielding his family and the two supporters who were injured during the July 13 shooting, according to Trump’s campaign.
