UNIONDALE, N.Y.—Former President Donald Trump on Sept. 18 held his first full rally since surviving a second apparent assassination attempt over the weekend.

The rally was held in Uniondale, a city on Republican-leaning Long Island in the deep-blue state of New York. Long Island is home to several highly competitive congressional districts that could determine control of the House in the next Congress.
