HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pumped up spectators poured out of Harrisburg’s New Holland Arena Wednesday following a fiery Trump rally marking the former president’s first campaign event in Pennsylvania after narrowly escaping an assassin’s bullet in Butler County.
Inside, former President Donald Trump railed on Vice President Kamala Harris as "the architect of the border invasion," her history of support for far-left policies – "She wants to turn us into a Communist country" — and her tenure as a California prosecutor.
Outside, supporters decked out in American flags and Trump slogans shared with Fox News Digital their elation after witnessing the former president following his near assassination.
"It was our first time at a Trump rally and wow," Bill and Amy said. "It's almost better than any concert I've been to! It's all love."

"He's been my president from day one – it never stopped," Marsha Felman said. "He's the man to do the job. He's done it once, and he can do it again."
"I've been feeling pumped since 2016," another ardent supporter said.

One supporter highlighted the need for voters to get out and vote on November 5, saying, "We need to pray and vote."
Chuck Winton, who drove up from Maryland, said that Vice President Kamala Harris is a liar.
"She lies a lot," he said. "Calling herself a candidate for president when she has not even been nominated."
