Trump says he ‘took a bullet for democracy’
The Republican frontrunner addressed a Michigan crowd in his first rally since last week’s assassination attempt
Former US President and Republican nominee for the November elections Donald Trump addressed a crowd of supporters in the swing state of Michigan, speaking alongside his newly announced running mate, J.D. Vance.
The Saturday rally in Grand Rapids was Trump’s first public campaign event since the attempt on his life last week, when he narrowly avoided getting fatally shot in the head. The gunman’s bullets at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, grazed the candidate’s ear and hit the crowd behind him, killing one person and injuring two others.
Michigan is one of several pivotal battleground states on which the outcome of the November presidential election is expected to hinge. In the 2020 election, incumbent US President Joe Biden flipped the state’s vote, despite Trump securing it in the previous 2016 election.
