Former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), his running mate, attended their first outdoor rally since Trump was shot in the right ear in an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last month, but there is one major change: bulletproof glass.

Trump’s podium at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame, where he is slated to deliver remarks on national security on the afternoon of Aug. 21, is surrounded by panes of bulletproof glass that form a protective wall across the stage, according to a live stream and photos taken at the event.
