The election meeting was held at the same location where Trump was subjected to an assassination attempt in July. Trump brought up the question of whether his opponents bear partial responsibility for the assassination attempt – and declared that he "never gives up".

The security at the meeting was visibly tightened compared to the election meeting in July.

Exactly twelve weeks ago at this location, a cold-blooded assassin tried to silence me, said Trump to tens of thousands of supporters, this time behind bulletproof glass.

Trump then attacked the Democrats for, among other things, the federal response to Hurricane Helene.

Billionaire and Tesla founder Elon Musk took the stage to say a few words. According to Musk, the election in November will be the last if Trump doesn't win against the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.

That's my prediction, said Musk.

Musk, who also owns the social media platform X, expressed his support for Trump when he was subjected to an assassination attempt in Butler in July. Saturday's election meeting was Musk's first.
