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.

Despite the evident injury and the chaotic scene unfolding around him, Trump paused briefly as he was being escorted away. Raising his fist toward the crowd, he appeared to mouth or shout a message of defiance.
The crowd, which moments earlier had been in a state of fear, began chanting in response. The image of his raised fist and blood-streaked face rapidly circulated across news outlets and social media platforms worldwide, becoming one of the defining political images of the year.

He was quickly transported from the scene in a motorcade to a nearby medical facility for evaluation. His campaign later confirmed that he was in stable condition and that the injury, while bloody, was not life-threatening.
