Donald Trump is set to hold his first outdoor rally since surviving an attempted assassination in Pennsylvania last month. The rally will take place at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame, where Trump is scheduled to speak on national security. The stage is equipped with bulletproof glass panels forming a protective wall around the podium. Additionally, storage containers have been strategically placed to create extra barriers, and snipers have been stationed on nearby rooftops for security.
This event is part of Trump's efforts to counterprogram against the ongoing Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Advisers have encouraged him to focus on policy discussions rather than personal attacks as he adjusts to running against Vice President Kamala Harris following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race.
