BUTLER, Pa. — Former president Donald Trump says he will continue to use outdoor rallies while on the campaign trail.
Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to confirm that plan. He said the Secret Service has agreed to “step up their operation” and that they are “very capable of doing so.”
The announcement comes two weeks after Thomas Matthew Crooks tried to shoot and kill Trump at a rally at the Butler Farm Show Grounds. One spectator was killed and two others were injured during the assassination attempt.
