Donald Trump is set to make a bold return this today to the small Pennsylvania town where an assassination attempt took place during a rally, resulting in one death and multiple injuries. The former president will share the stage with J.D. Vance, his running mate for the upcoming November election, as well as family members of the victims, first responders, and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk.

His campaign emphasized that he took a bullet for democracy during the incident and announced he would speak behind protective glass upon his return.
