Former President Donald Trump interrupted his campaign rally in North Carolina on Wednesday to tend to a supporter who had fainted, stepping away from the safety of his bulletproof podium.

This occurred during his first outdoor rally since an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last month, accentuating the high-security measures now synonymous with his events. The scene unfolded at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame, where Trump discussed national security.

Amid his speech, a commotion in the crowd caught his attention. Without hesitation, Trump departed the stage—bypassing the protective bulletproof glass—to check on the stricken attendee.

The rally was heavily fortified, with snipers on rooftops and storage containers strategically placed to obstruct potential threats. Yet, in the moment, Trump’s focus was solely on the well-being of his supporter.

WATCH:

The rally forms part of Trump’s week-long strategy to redirect attention from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and dominate the airwaves. Trump currently leads Harris by a slim margin in overall swing state polling.
