Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has arrived in Milwaukee one day after he was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The former president arrived in the city shortly after 8 p.m. Eastern.
The four-day Republican National Convention will begin on Monday in Wisconsin’s largest city. The shooting on Saturday injured Trump’s ear, though he was said to be “fine” after he was attended to by doctors at a nearby hospital. However, one rallygoer was killed in the shooting, and two others were injured.
Trump said he was originally going to delay his trip to Wisconsin and the convention by two days, until he “decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else.”
The former president is not expected to speak at the convention until Thursday night, according to the Associated Press. Still, the event will likely be a rallying moment for the Republican Party around its leader as Trump accepts the party’s presidential nomination.

The Secret Service announced in a security briefing on Sunday that it does not plan to make any changes ahead of the convention, saying it has already been making arrangements for over a year at the highest possible security level.
The agency, however, has come under scrutiny following the shooting of Trump. Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, has been identified as the shooter. An agent reportedly walked up on Crooks, who was camped out on the roof of the American Glass Research building, and backed away down a ladder when the shooter aimed his rifle at the agent.
