The Washington Examiner’s Salena Zito said former President Donald Trump “got right back up” after shots were fired at a Pennsylvania rally, where she witnessed the events as they happened in person.

Zito, who attended the rally, said Trump was in “great spirits” prior to the reported gunfire and that she heard something “from the left-hand side,” with the former president taking cover right after.
