Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate Ohio Republican Sen. J.D. Vance told a crowd of 60,000 people at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, that God “has a plan for the United States.”

Vance made the statement on the same grounds where an assassination attempt against Trump took place some three months ago, according to The Christian Post. “[Y]ou heard the shots; you saw the blood. We all feared the worst but you knew everything would be OK when President Trump raised his fist high in the air and shouted, ‘fight, fight,’” Vance told the crowd.

“Now, I believe, as sure I’m standing here today, that what happened was a true miracle. And on that day, America felt the truth of Scripture,” he noted. (LEARN MORE: Who Is J.D. Vance, Trump’s Vice Presidential Pick?)

Vance then cited Psalm 23:4, saying “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.” He also spoke to the crowd of their courage and patriotism to return to the place where such a heinous attack took place.

“God still has a plan for him (Trump) just like He still has a plan for the United States of America,” Vance continued. (LEARN MORE: J.D. Vance Erupts Over Tim Walz’ ‘Crazy’ Family Law)

“I truly believe that God saved President Trump’s life that day. And I believe that God is with us right now and watches over this incredible nation every single day. We especially thank God for the two great Americans who were wounded and survived in July — that’s David Dutch and James Copenhaver. God bless you guys,” he added. “We pray for their full and complete recoveries, and we’re honored that David and his family were able to join us today. […] God bless you and God bless your family. But our hearts are heavy with sadness, knowing that there’s one hero who’s not here with us today. And that’s, of course, the great Corey Comperatore.”

“We’re never going to forget his heroism that day. And I want everyone to join me right now in sending our support, our respect, our love, to the Comperatore family here with us today. We love you guys. […] Thank you for loving this country and thank you for not giving up on it.” (LEARN MORE: Christians Called To Shine ‘Light’ On ‘Dark Institutions’)
