White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino revealed that he often reflects on the close call President Donald Trump faced during an assassination attempt while on the 2024 campaign.
Trump was the target of two assassination attempts just months ahead of the November election. The first in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July resulted in a gunshot wound to Trump’s ear and killed one attendee, volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore. This close call prompted a new wave of support for the then-candidate, including from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who had rarely publicly endorsed any candidate but went on to become one of Trump’s senior advisers.
