Donald Trump will hold a rally tomorrow, Saturday, October 5, 2024, to the Pennsylvania city where the Republican presidential nominee survived an assassination attempt earlier this year.

Saturday’s rally will take place at the same property where a gunman’s bullets grazed Trump’s right ear and killed his supporter, Corey Comperatore. The shooting left multiple others injured.

The Trump campaign released a list of attendees for Saturday’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, “on the very same ground where he took a bullet for democracy less than three months ago.”

The wife, daughters and sisters of Corey Comperatore, the firefighter who was killed that day, will be in attendance, as will various people who attended the first rally or served as first responders.

Elon Musk, the owner of X, will also be there, as will be numerous congressmen, local elected officials, sheriffs and Republican party officials.

“I will be there to support!” Musk wrote on his social platform X in a retweet of Trump’s own promotion of the rally.

The event will mark the first time that the billionaire businessman appears publicly at a campaign event for the former president since endorsing him.

The July endorsement came directly after the attempted assassination, with Musk writing on X, “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.”

Musk has supercharged his support for Trump in recent months and has become personally more invested in politics — even agreeing to lead a government efficiency commission if Trump wins reelection.

Also appearing with the former President will be his running mate Republican Ohio Senator JD Vance, his son Eric Trump, his daughter-in-law and RNC co-chair Lara Trump.

Earlier today, Friday, October 4, 2024, Donald Trump hit out at Kamala Harris for making Project 2025, the conservative manifesto, a theme of her campaign.

The project, fronted by the Heritage Foundation, has been a drag on Trump, despite its goal of institutionalizing Trumpism.

“Lyin’ Kamala has been informed, legally, that I have, and had, nothing to do with it, NEVER READ IT, NEVER SAW IT, but her ads continue, full blast.”

It’s unclear what Trump means by Harris being “informed, legally” on this claim. Trump himself did not write or, more than likely, read the 900-plus page document, but his allies and former officials from his first administration are all over it. Its policy ideas also in many instances align with Trump’s.

Democrats have seized on the negative impression of the project, putting it in billboards and ads around the country to warn voters of the danger a second Trump term poses.

Meanwhile, Former President Donald Trump will meet with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp later today to discuss the latest on Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, the first time the two Republicans have come face-to-face in four years.

Their appearance together comes amid a tumultuous relationship stemming from the 2020 election that has since stabilized.

The pair will make a joint appearance in Evans, Georgia, Friday afternoon to be briefed on the latest disaster relief efforts related to the hurricane. They are expected to speak to reporters.

Harris To Campaign In Michigan

Separately, Kamala Harris will campaign in Michigan today, appearing first in Detroit and then in Flint.

Harris was last in Michigan, a vital swing state, on 19 September for a streamed event with Oprah Winfrey.

The Mayor of Flint, Sheldon A Neeley, endorsed Harris in an op-ed. “I urge all of you to listen to her message, hear her vision and consider what she can do for you and for America,” the Mayor noted.

Harris made a few trips to Michigan as Vice President before becoming the Democratic nominee — speaking in Portage, Detroit and Grand Rapids.
