Donald Trump held his first outdoor rally since an assignation attempt at an open air space in Pennsylvania last month.

New security measures were taken at the rally in Asheboro, North Carolina on Wednesday.

Trump walked on the stage and spoke to supporters behind a bulletproof glass.

An attendee in the large crowd at the North Carolina Aviation Museum and Hall of Fame needed medical help due to the heat.

The former president paused his campaign speech and walked over to check on the individual who appeared to have been examined by medical staff.

Museum officials told WXLV that security was very tight for the event. U.S. Secret Service agents would not let media get pictures of the stage before the event started.

Trump's running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, spoke about national security.

Museum officials said World War II era planes will be the backdrop for Trump's speech.

This is Trump's second rally in North Carolina this month. Supporters started lining up early Thursday morning for the 2 p.m. speech.
