Donald Trump announced his intention to travel back to Butler for” a big and beautiful march” on Friday, only under two months after he was almost killed at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

” I WILL BE GOING BACK TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY, HONORING THE SOUL OF OUR BELOVED FIREFIGHTING HERO, COREY, AND THOSE BRAVE PATRIOTS INJURED TWO WEEKS AG O”, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. ” WHAT A DAY IT WILL BE — FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS”.
Thirteen days prior, Trump escaped an enemy’s shot with just a few turns in the mind before the shots started to ring out. Trump was hit in the hearing before a Secret Service rifle shot and killed the gunman. Two rally participants were severely wounded, and another, Corey Comperatore, was killed while shielding his household from the gunshots.
David Dutch, 57, was released from the hospital this week after being in critical issue. James Copenhaver, 74, another shooting target, is also hospitalized in critical but stable state.
Republican anger was caused by the security flaws that led to the almost productive assassination attempt. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle testified before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Monday to answer questions about those security breaches, and people from both parties criticized her for not responding to those issues.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky. ) and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md. )” Today, you failed to provide answers to those fundamental questions regarding that stunning operational failure and reassure the American people that the Secret Service has learned its lessons and begun to correct its systemic mistakes and failures,” said Comer (R-Ky. ). said following Cheatle’s evidence in a combined letter. The Committee and the British people demand major institutional accountability and transparency, which you are not offering in the middle of a presidential election. We ask that you step down since Director as a first step in order for new leadership to respond to this issue and regain the confidence of a really anxious Congress and the American people.
The following morning, she resigned.
” As your chairman, I take full responsibility for the safety lapse”, Cheatle wrote in a resignation letter to her team.
As our administrative tempo rises, she continued,” The scrutiny over the last week has been intense and will continue to be.” I do not want my resignations to distract me from the outstanding work that each and every one of you does to advance our important goal.

President Joe Biden praised her despite her failing as Secret Service Director.
Director Kim Cheatle has provided us with many thanks for her decades of public services. She has spent the entirety of her job with the United States Secret Service and risked her life to defend our country,” he said in a speech. We extend our gratitude to her for serving our family and for calling her to guide the Secret Service during our leadership.
He added,” As a leader, it takes pride, confidence, and extraordinary integrity to take full responsibility for an institution tasked with one of the most difficult jobs in public company”.
Unfortunately, almost a fourth of Democrats think the murder test was a hoax.
