Secret Service Tells Trump to Change His Rally Plans
E security, and they have finally gotten more security,” Trump added.
Trump also said that the Secret Service has been doing an “amazing job” and that he has confidence in their protection.
However, not everyone agrees that Trump should be holding rallies at all.
On Monday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said she is concerned about Trump’s safety and the safety of those around him.
“I think that he should not hold rallies at this time. I think it is dangerous, and I think people are in danger when they are at these rallies,” Pelosi said.
Some critics have also raised concerns about the potential for violence at Trump’s rallies, given the tense political climate in the country.
Despite the concerns, Trump shows no signs of slowing down his campaign efforts. He is expected to announce his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election soon.
As for the Secret Service, they will continue to work with the Trump campaign to ensure the safety of the former president and all those in attendance at his events.
The Greatest Political Show on Earth is being told to move indoors, according to a new report.
In the aftermath of the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during an outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign is being urged by the Secret Service to move its signature rallies indoors, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
The outlet said the Secret Service has long disliked Trump’s outdoor rallies, finding them “onerous” because of the level of protection needed.
The report, which cited sources it did not name, said that since the assassination attempt, a new push from the Secret Service is on for him to hold indoor rallies.
The Post said the Trump campaign is looking at indoor locations for rallies rather than having them in parking lots, airports, fairgrounds and football stadiums.
The report said no outdoor rallies are in the campaign’s immediate plans. The candidate and his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, had an indoor rally on Saturday at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
However, according to Axios, which also cited unnamed sources, Trump’s campaign is not writing off holding outdoor rallies in the future.
The report said that although the focus is now on indoor events, the campaign is working with the Secret Service on protection plans for outdoor events.
Axios said that in some cases, when the Secret Service rejected campaign requests, events went on regardless.
At other times, when the Secret Service said it would not provide what the outlet termed “assets,” events were canceled.
Since the attempt to kill Trump in Pennsylvania, the Secret Service has not denied any campaign requests, according to Axios.
In an interview Tuesday night with Newsmax, Trump said tight security is essential.
“Now, they have really beefed it up; they should have beefed it up before. I know that we’ve been asking for them to beef it up,” the former president said.
“You know, we have crowds of 40-50,000, 60,000 people. In New Jersey, we had 107,000 people, and when you have crowds like that, you need more people for the crowd — forget about me — and for me, too, as president, for any president,” he said.
“But you have to have more people. And I know that our people have been asking for more people consistently and not getting them.”
In a Tuesday post on , Trump chided the Biden administration over the level of protection he had been given.
“The Biden/Harris Administration did not properly protect me, and I was forced to take a bullet for Democracy. IT WAS MY GREAT HONOR TO DO SO!” he wrote.
The Republican nominee is scheduled to hold a rally at Bojangles Coliseum — an indoor arena — in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Wednesday night.
