During a campaign event in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump sustained an injury to his ear. His campaign later stated that he is in stable condition and doing well.

The Setting: A Summer Rally in Butler
The rally took place at the Butler Farm Show grounds, a familiar venue for community events in western Pennsylvania. Thousands of supporters gathered under warm summer skies, many arriving hours in advance to secure spots close to the stage.

The atmosphere early in the afternoon was typical of a major presidential campaign event—energetic, loud, and marked by a sea of campaign signs, patriotic imagery, and enthusiastic chants.

Trump had been speaking for several minutes, addressing topics central to his 2024 campaign platform. The crowd responded with applause and cheers as he moved through familiar themes.
