On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump paused his North Carolina rally to check on an attendee who fainted during the event.
“What’s wrong? A doctor please. It is very hot here, I notice,” Trump said as people in the crowd shouted “Medic!”
After a few moments, Trump stepped down from his podium and walked toward the stands on his left, where he chatted with the smiling woman, who had revived and held a bottle of water.
Watch:
The Republican nominee had to abandon the protection of the bulletproof glass he was speaking behind in order to approach the woman.
Trump hugged her before returning to his podium.
“Thank you very much. You know, they come two days, three days early, and it’s a lot of stress. We lose them,” Trump said when he returned to the podium on Wednesday.
The temperature was over 75 degrees in Asheboro on Wednesday.
Wednesday’s rally was Trump’s first one outdoors since a gunman made an assassination attempt on his life last month.
During Wednesday’s rally, Trump also hammered several issues, particularly foreign threats.
“Peace in Europe has been shattered by the largest European land war since the fall of Nazi Germany,” he said.
Trump also threw barbs at his opponent, noting that during the 2020 presidential race, Harris dropped out before the Iowa Caucuses.
“She ran against Biden. There were 22 people running. She was the first to leave. She quit,” Trump said. “She never made it to the first state in the primary.”
“We have stupid people running our government, and she’ll be worse than Biden because he wasn’t really a believer, but she’s a radical Left believer,” he said. “She ruined San Francisco. She ruined California, and if she gets in, our country doesn’t have a chance.”
