Former President Donald Trump was quickly escorted off stage after loud noises were heard and he fell to the ground at the beginning of a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night. The Secret Service confirmed that Trump is safe and under protection.
Details of the incident are unclear, but agents immediately surrounded Trump after the noises. Blood was visible on his face, and he raised a fist to the crowd as he was taken away.
The incident occurred following a busy day of campaigning for both Trump and President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race.
Former President Donald Trump is safe after an incident at his rally, according to Anthony Guglielmi, US Secret Service chief of communications.
“An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available,” Guglielmi said in a statement.
