On July 13, Trump was on stage, in the middle of a speech at one of his signature rallies when a 20-year-old gunman on a building nearby fired gunshots at him. A bullet hit Trump in the ear and left him bloody. Secret Service agents then rushed the former president off the stage.

The gunman, Thomas Crooks, also shot and killed a former fire chief who was attending the rally. Crooks also injured two other people before a sniper from the Secret Service killed him. The lapses in security have lead to a congressional investigation into the agency as well as the sequence of events that day.
Trump has made more than 50 public appearance since the shooting, including rallies, town halls and press conferences. Saturday’s rally comes exactly one month before the November election.
The Secret Service is expecting about 60,000 people to attend. Pennsylvania is a key battleground state which carries 19 electoral votes. Vice President Kamala Harris traveled there recently to tout her economic plan. Polls show the race in Pennsylvania is a dead heat.
