Former President Donald Trump announced Friday that he will hold a “big and beautiful” rally in Butler, Pa. — marking a return to the town where he survived an assassination attempt just two weeks ago.

Trump, 78, plans to honor hero firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the July 13 shooting, as well as the two rallygoers — James Copenhaver and David Dutch — who were seriously injured.

“I WILL BE GOING BACK TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY, HONORING THE SOUL OF OUR BELOVED FIREFIGHTING HERO, COREY, AND THOSE BRAVE PATRIOTS INJURED TWO WEEKS AGO,” the Republican presidential nominee wrote on Truth Social.
