Returning to Butler puts a big spotlight on Trump. How will he use it?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Trump has said the rally will be a tribute to firefighter Corey Comperatore who was killed that day, but it will also likely be a highly cinematic moment in a battleground state he's intent on winning.
53% : "In returning to Butler, Trump is rallying a base that supported him with 66% of the vote in 2020.
52% : Returning to Butler -- the site of the first assassination attempt on a president in 43 years -- sets up a cinematic hero's welcome for Trump, whose path to the White House seems less certain than it did in mid-July when the bullet grazed his ear.
44% : After saying in July that his RNC acceptance speech would be the first and only mention of the assassination because it's "too painful to tell," Trump has brought up the shooting often, a recognition of the power of the moment he created when he lifted his fist and yelled "Fight!"
40% : But there are limits to Trump rallying his most faithful base in a deadlocked election.
39% : "And maybe the one clear moment when Trump appeared as how Trump views himself.
39% : Longo is glad Trump is returning to the scene of the assassination attempt, rather than an indoor location that could be more easily secured.
24% : Trump is now in a deadlocked race with Vice President Kamala Harris instead of enjoying the slight advantage he had on July 13 and in the days that followed when the GOP rallied around him and Democrats moved to oust President Joe Biden as the nominee.
