The former president wants to finish the July address that was cut short by gunfire, and recapture the support it kindled.

In the aftermath of Butler, the acting director of the Secret Service, Ronald L. Rowe Jr., has said Trump is receiving the “highest levels” of protection that the agency can offer, tapping outsize resources compared with those marshaled for other former presidents.

Supporters praised former President Trump for returning to Butler, Pennsylvania following the July assassination attempt, saying that it was "courageous" and "gutsy."
