MINEOLA, N.Y. — Former President Donald Trump is holding a campaign rally this week on Long Island, his first after Sunday’s apparent assassination attempt in Florida.
The campaign event is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder are holding a news conference Monday to provide details on the security measures being put into place.
Security will be top of mind, and law enforcement aren’t taking any chances in what has been an extremely volatile election cycle.
Local GOP leaders say there is a lot of excitement for the rally, and more than 15,000 supporters are expected to attend.
Watch the security briefing streaming live at 1 p.m. on CBS News New York in the video player above.
