Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Wednesday will hold his first outdoor campaign rally since being targeted in an assassination attempt last month, but this time, he will be behind bulletproof glass when he takes the podium, the Washington Examiner has learned.
The Secret Service plans to put Trump behind a special see-through protective barrier when he appears before several thousand attendees at a rally in Asheboro, North Carolina, according to a source with firsthand knowledge of the security measures.
The barrier is similar to glass used in the president’s limousine, which is also made to protect those inside from a shooting. The Secret Service said it does not reveal means and measures for protecting those who are under its protection.
Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), will join him for the rally, which will be located between Charlotte, North Carolina; Greensboro, North Carolina; and Raleigh, North Carolina.
