Ardent Trump supporters weigh in on safety at historic Pennsylvania rally

BUTLER, Pa. — Safety was foremost on the minds of ardent Trump supporters who flocked to the Butler Farm Show grounds to hear the former president.

Police were ubiquitous among the crowd estimated by a Butler County Sheriff's officer to number up to 60,000 people, snipers could be seen perched on rooftops ahead of the rally, and the Secret Service acknowledged heightened security. The event marked Trump's return to the Pennsylvania venue where he narrowly survived an assassination attempt in July.
