Former President Donald Trump was delivering a speech in Pennsylvania when he suddenly collapsed, prompting immediate action from his security team.
Reports indicate that gunshots were fired during Trump's rally, leading to his hasty removal from the stage by armed security personnel. As he was speaking, Trump appeared to fall, and his guards quickly surrounded him.
He remained on the ground for approximately a minute before standing up and raising his fist in the air. Subsequently, he was escorted off the stage and driven away.
Footage from the event seemed to show blood on Trump's ear as he was led away, and he appeared to clutch the side of his head during the fall.
Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio urged people to pray for Trump and all attendees of the rally in a post on the X social media platform, expressing hope that everyone was safe.
The U.S. Secret Service confirmed that Trump was secure and stated that it had taken appropriate measures around the former president. An investigation into the incident has been launched, but further details were not provided immediately.
The White House announced that President Joe Biden had been given an initial briefing on the situation.
