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.

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.

“This is the President Trump the media will never show you,” the Trump campaign’s War Room account posted on X along with a video of the moment.

Wednesday’s rally was Trump’s first one outdoors since a gunman made an assassination attempt on his life last month.

On July 13, a young male gunman was able to scale a nearby roof during Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and took a shot, grazing the former president’s ear and nearly killing him. After the assassination attempt, the Trump campaign had opted to hold rallies indoors until Wednesday’s rally.

Trump is currently in a dead heat race with Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency. Nationally, Harris leads the former president by one and a half percentage points, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls.

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.”

“This calamity is on Comrade Kamala Harris’ shoulders,” he said.
