WILKES-BARRE, PA – Today, former President Donald Trump will be visiting Wilkes-Barre Township, Luzerne County, where preparations for his rally at the Mohegan Sun Arena are in full swing. Vendors and spectators began setting up early in the parking lot, with food trucks and campers ready to welcome the crowd.
The venue opened to attendees at 8:00 a.m., and vendors are anticipating the same high energy and business they experienced during Trump’s 2022 visit to the same location.
Security is tight, given recent events, and the rally is expected to draw significant attention.
His visit to Pennsylvania today marks his third visit to the state since the assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. This latest appearance is part of his ongoing campaign efforts as he seeks to win the 2024 presidential election.
During the assassination attempt, Trump was injured when a gunman, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire, resulting in chaos and the deaths of two others.
Trump survived the incident with minor injuries, including a wound to his ear, and quickly returned to the campaign trail, determined to show resilience.
Today’s rally is a significant moment as Trump continues to push his platform while addressing both supporters and concerns about his safety. Security has been notably heightened following the July attack, with the Secret Service under increased scrutiny.
