In a “tribute to the American spirit,” former President Donald Trump will return to Butler Township, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 5 for a rally “on the very same ground where he came within a quarter of an inch of losing his life,” his campaign announced on Sept. 25.

It will be the former president’s first return visit to the Butler Farm Show since gunfire from a would-be assassin disrupted his campaign rally there moments after it began on July 13.
