USA,Pennsylvania: At a campaign rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, former US President Donald Trump publicly thanked a woman staffer, whom he credited with saving his life during an assassination attempt on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump invited the woman on stage, praised her as a "computer genius," and hugged her before expressing his gratitude.

Trump explained that the staffer had displayed an immigration chart, which prompted him to glance at it moments before the would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire. The bullet narrowly missed Trump's face, grazing his ear instead. The chart, showing illegal immigration levels in the US, is typically used at the end of his speeches but was shown earlier on July 13, which Trump believes played a crucial role in saving his life.

During his Republican National Convention speech, Trump emphasized the significance of the chart, stating he "would not be here today" without it. The incident resulted in the deaths of two individuals and a volunteer firefighter, with Crooks being shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper
