Former President Donald Trump is expected to return to Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of his first assassination attempt, next month. During a rally in Indiana, Pennsylvania Monday, Sept. 23, Trump told supporters, “If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole thing. It’s very simple.”

Trump’s visit was just the latest in a handful of visits to the crucial swing state in recent weeks as he looks to secure a second presidential term.
On Monday, sources close to the Trump campaign told media outlets he will return to Butler, Pennsylvania on Oct. 5. Butler is where a sniper fired and grazed his ear with a bullet, in the first assassination attempt on his life in July.
Since then, the Secret Service put in place tighter security protocols for candidates at rallies.
Vice President Kamala Harris is also pushing to win the Pennsylvania vote. She’ll be there again Wednesday, Sept. 25, for a campaign event in Pittsburgh. She’s also made many stops in the swing state since taking up the Democratic nomination.
In the 2020 election, Pennsylvania went to Joe Biden, a key state in helping him win the presidency. There are 19 votes at stake in the Keystone State.
