Trump Returns to Butler, Pa., for Campaign Rally
The Facts
Former US President and Republican candidate Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pa., on Saturday for a campaign rally as his race for the White House against Democratic Vice Pres. Kamala Harris enters its final month.
Speaking from behind bulletproof glass, he said he would "never yield, not even in the face of death itself," referring to the assassination attempt he survived at the same venue, the Butler Farm Show, about three months ago.
