After surviving an assassination attempt, Donald Trump will attend the Republican National Convention event scheduled to start on Monday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
During a campaign rally on July 13, 2024, at the Butler Farm Show in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump was injured when he was shot in the right ear. Assisted by the US Secret Service, the former US President and Republican presidential candidate is recovering well, with no significant injuries reported except for a wound on his upper right ear.
Despite this incident, Trump announced on Sunday that he would proceed to Milwaukee as planned. At the convention, he is expected to receive the Republican nomination for president. This decision comes amid an intense political climate, highlighted by President Joe Biden ordering an investigation into the security breach.
Michael Whatley, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, emphasized that extensive security measures have been prepared for months. Trump’s resolve is clear: He refuses to let the incident delay his schedule, asserting that no assailant should cause any change to his plans. He confirmed his departure for Milwaukee on Sunday afternoon.
