'Never quit, never break': Trump rallies at site of July assassination bid in Pennsylvania

Donald Trump's recent rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt three months ago, served as a stage for him to rally his supporters and confront his political adversaries. Speaking to a massive crowd, he described the incident as an attempt to silence him, referring to the gunman as a "vicious monster." He displayed his resilience, vowing to "never quit... never bend... never break" as the crowd cheered him on.

The rally, marked by increased security measures, including sniper teams and a surveillance drone, highlighted the lingering concerns about violence surrounding Trump's campaign. He seized the opportunity to attack Vice President Kamala Harris, labeling her a failure and accusing her of implementing detrimental policies that hurt Pennsylvania's economy and border security. Trump took a sharp dig at her, calling the VP as a "radical-left Marxist," arguing that her administration's policies were threatening the country's well-being.

Joining him on stage was Elon Musk, who stressed the importance of voter registration and participation in the upcoming election. Musk noted that the stakes are high, stating that Trump's victory is crucial for preserving democracy in America. Trump's running mate, Senator JD Vance, further escalated the rhetoric, claiming Trump had "taken a bullet for democracy" and slammed Harris for her views on censorship.

Hours after the rally, the tech billionaire took to microblogging site X, posting his photo, wearing a cap from Trump's campaign, with Trump's tagline "Make America Great Again".

As the former US President campaigns intensively for the November 5 election, he seeks to regain momentum after the dramatic political shifts following the assassination attempt and the replacement of Joe Biden with Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.
