    so he is not going to go out and try to, you know, reach new voters in a different area? going to waste time and money going back to a place he already has big support?

    dumb strategy. let's see how it plays out for him.

    Trump to return to Pennsylvania for first time since assassination attempt

    Harrisburg official said the city has had "zero issues every time [Trump] has come here"

    Published July 26, 2024 1:51pm EDT

    BETHEL PARK, Pa. – Weeks after an attempt was made on his life at a rally in Butler, former President Donald Trump is slated to return to Pennsylvania to appear at a Harrisburg venue on Wednesday.

    The Republican nominee will speak to his supporters at the Pennsylvania Farm Show, which is about 220 miles away from the Butler Farm Show site where shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks grazed his ear with a bullet, narrowly missing his head on July 13.

    Harrisburg Director of Communications Matt Maisel told Fox News Digital on Friday that Trump had made "multiple visits to the farm show complex multiple times since his time as president" and that the city has had "zero issues every time that he's come here."

    He also said that the Harrisburg Police Department would just be controlling traffic in the vicinity of the rally, and that on-site security measures would be handled by the Secret Service, Pennsylvania State Police and Pennsylvania Capitol Police.

    "Sure, you've had your run-of-the-mill protests outside of the complex, but there have been no issues related to that," Maisel said.

    The U.S. Secret Service was tight-lipped about security measures for the event and whether they would be heightened in light of the assassination attempt earlier this month. 

    "The safety and security of our protectees is the U.S. Secret Service’s top priority. Out of concern for operational security, the Secret Service does not discuss the means and methods used for our protective operations."

    Pennsylvania State Police told Fox News Digital that they would assist the U.S. Secret Service in policing the event.

    "The Pennsylvania State Police routinely aids USSS and our federal partners during large events in Pennsylvania and will always provide any and all resources needed to ensure the safety of Pennsylvanians," the agency said via email on Friday. 

    Trump was injured at the Butler rally, where the FBI is investigating how Crooks was able to get within about 150 yards of Trump and fire at him.

    Trump was injured, as well as attendees James Copenhaver and David Dutch. Firefighter Corey Comperatore lost his life shielding his wife and daughters.

    Trump's former doctor gives health update, calls out Wray as FBI affirms bullet struck former president

    Rep. Ronny Jackson says there is ‘absolutely no evidence’ Trump was struck in Butler by ‘anything other than a bullet’

    Published July 26, 2024 12:48pm EDT | Updated July 26, 2024 6:05pm EDT

    A former White House doctor released a letter Friday stating that former President Trump is "rapidly recovering" following the July 13 shooting at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania and that there is "absolutely no evidence" he was hit with "anything other than a bullet." 

    Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, who took issue with testimony given earlier this week by FBI Director Christopher Wray, said "I want to reassure the American people and the rest of the world, that President Trump is doing extremely well."

    Jackson, who is Trump's former physician, said, "I have continued to monitor his health and well-being, along with his primary care physician, since the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, on the evening of July 13th.

    "During the Congressional Hearing two days ago, FBI Director Christopher Wray suggested that it could be a bullet, shrapnel, or glass. There is absolutely no evidence that it was anything other than a bullet," he added. "Congress should correct the record as confirmed by both the hospital and myself. Director Wray is wrong and inappropriate to suggest anything else."

    Wray did not mention glass in his testimony. He said, "With respect to former President Trump, there is some question about whether it was a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear." 

    After Jackson's letter was released, the FBI issued its own statement to Fox News Digital, "What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle."

    "The would-be assassin fired multiple rounds from a relatively close distance using a high-powered rifle, with one bullet striking the former President, and now the Republican Nominee for President, in his right ear," Jackson continued.

    "As a former White House Physician for 14 years, who served during three presidential administrations, and served as the appointed physician for both President Obama and President Trump, I fully understand the global significance of this attempt on the life of the former President and the current Republican Nominee for President," Jackson added.

    "As such, I want to reassure the American people and the rest of the world, that President Trump is doing extremely well," Jackson concluded. "He is rapidly recovering from the gunshot wound to his right ear. I will continue to be available to assist President Trump and his personal physician in any way they see fit and will provide updates as necessary and with the permission of President Trump."

    In an interview Thursday on FOX Business' "Kudlow," Jackson said it was "absolutely ridiculous" for Wray to suggest that Trump might not have been struck by a bullet.

    "This degrades any level of credibility that this man may have had – after years of weaponizing the FBI and the DOJ against the president," Jackson said. "It was absolutely a bullet, I examined it. There was a track of a bullet."

    Jackson also praised the creation of a bipartisan House task force to investigate the Trump assassination attempt.

    "We don't have any confidence in the number one law enforcement agency in this country right now. And if [Wray's] going to come make statements like that, he better have some evidence of what he's talking about," Jackson said. "There was no fractured glass on the teleprompters or anything else."

    The FBI told Fox News Digital Thursday its priority was learning more about the reclusive would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, and his motive.

    "Since the day of the attack, the FBI has been consistent and clear that the shooting was an attempted assassination of former President Trump which resulted in his injury, as well as the death of a heroic father and the injuries of several other victims," a spokesperson said. 

    "FBI Director Wray provided extensive congressional testimony on Wednesday about the FBI’s investigation. This was a heinous attack and the FBI is devoting enormous resources to learn everything possible about the shooter and what led to his act of violence."

    Fox News Digital is told the FBI's Shooting Reconstruction Team was still examining evidence from the scene – including recovered bullet fragments.

    On July 16, Neema Avashia of The Guardian newspaper published an op-ed titled: "I'm from Appalachia.  J. D. Vance doesn't represent us- he only represents himself."

    I think this is something worth remembering.  And J. D. Vance may be from Appalachia, and he may be published, but he certainly does not represent some of his other fellow Appalachians who are much better writers (including songwriters) and much better people.  Some examples:

    Usha Vance once told friends Trump appalled her. Now she's working to elect him.

    "Usha found the incursion on the Capitol and Trump's role in it to be deeply disturbing," one friend of hers tells WaPo. "She was generally appalled by Trump, from the moment of his first election." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/27/usha-vance-trump-jan6/

    Buttigieg ripped for 'extraordinarily brazen' slam on Trump that critics say was accidental 'dunk' on Biden

    It is unclear when and where Trump and Harris will have their first debate

    Published July 26, 2024 6:00pm EDT

    Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was ripped by conservatives on social media Friday after he mocked former President Trump for showing "weakness" by not agreeing to debate VP Harris in September.

    "Has a presidential nominee ever agreed to a debate, then pulled out? Remarkable show of weakness here," Buttigieg posted on X before being mocked by conservatives who argued that former President Trump had an agreement with Biden, who dropped out of the race and effectively pulled out of the scheduled debate.

    "Yes. Biden. Literally this past weekend," CNN’s Scott Jennings posted on X.

    "Joe Biden agreed to 2 debates, then pulled out of his entire campaign after the first one," pollster Frank Luntz posted on X.

    "The only one I can think of is Joe Biden, right?" The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway posted on X.

    "I’m actually surprised Pete would dunk this hard on his boss, Joe Biden," Fox News contributor Guy Benson posted on X. "The man *just* pulled out of the race (and therefore the second debate), clearly against his will. Undeniable weakness aside, give him a moment of peace."

    "This is the sort of extraordinarily brazen tack you take only when you know that the media is in full campaign mode in your favor," National Review’s Charles C. Cooke posted on X.

    Fox News Digital reached out to Buttigieg’s office and the Harris campaign but did not receive a response.

    Trump said earlier this week he's open to debating Vice President Harris more than once as the two face off in the 2024 presidential election.

    "Absolutely. I'd want to. I think it's important," Trump said Tuesday when asked by Fox News' Bill Melugin on a conference call with reporters if he would commit to debating Harris at least once.

    "I would be willing to do more than one debate, actually," Trump said. Minutes later, Trump noted, "I haven’t agreed to anything. I agreed to a debate with Joe Biden."

    The Trump campaign said Thursday he will not participate in a debate until Democrats finalize their nominee because it "would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds."

    Harris criticized that position from the Trump campaign as "backpedaling." 

    Big smooth brain energy to think it’s a dunk on Biden

    Oh, right, for sure.  Should have worded my post better.
    Yeah, Vance's never lived in Appalachia.  His grandparents did and he seems to think that makes him an expert.  I almost read his book, but I'm glad I didn't waste my time.
