The report said that sources said the current plan is to hold the rally indoors, but they also said that Trump may also participate in smaller outdoor rallies, or larger rallies with more thorough entrance checks and no high ground such as stadiums near these rallies.

According to reports, on the evening of the 23rd local time, spokespersons for the Trump campaign and the Secret Service did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

According to a report by The Washington Post on the 23rd, sources revealed that after Trump was shot, the U.S. Secret Service advised the Trump campaign team to stop arranging large-scale outdoor rallies, and the Trump campaign team followed the advice of the Secret Service.

According to previous reports, on July 13, Trump was "attempted to assassinate" at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, injuring his right ear. One spectator died and two others were seriously injured. The gunman was shot dead by Secret Service personnel.

It is worth noting that due to the "failed assassination" of former US President Trump earlier this month, which aroused doubts and dissatisfaction from all walks of life about security work, the Director of the US Secret Service Kimberly Chittel resigned on the 23rd.

According to NBC, Trump responded to Chittel's resignation in a telephone interview with the American news website Newsmax on the evening of the 23rd, "I just heard that she resigned. I don't think she has much choice." Trump also said that his campaign team has been asking for more Secret Service agents to be included in the campaign in recent months, but "did not get" the corresponding arrangements.
