Also expected at the weekend event are family members of the Trump supporter killed in the attack in July, Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance, various members of parliament and representatives of the police, among others.
Trump's ear was injured in the attack
Trump plans to make another appearance in the town of Butler on Saturday (23:00 CEST). He was the victim of an assassination attempt there in mid-July. An assassin shot at him during a Republican Party campaign event. One visitor died and two others were injured. Trump was injured by a bullet to his right ear. The perpetrator was killed by security forces.
Musk has supported Trump for some time. The Tesla boss regularly campaigns against Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, against whom Trump is running in the election on November 5. The Republican recently even held out the prospect that Musk could be appointed head of a committee to review US finances if he wins the election. Musk should cut government spending, according to Trump.
