Mr. Trump nearly died during the speech.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump had a close call when security personnel shielded him and pulled him inside because a gunman was standing right in front of him.

According to The Guardian, the incident occurred during a Trump campaign rally in Reno, Nevada, on the evening of November 5th (this morning, November 6th, Vietnam time).

While speaking on the podium, the Republican candidate suddenly stopped, frowned, and covered his forehead with his hand to get a better look at something below. But before he could realize what it was, two security guards immediately rushed onto the stage and dragged Trump backstage.

The crowd below began to panic at how quickly things were unfolding. Someone even shouted, "That guy has a gun!" adding to the chaos.

Secret Service agents quickly apprehended a suspicious individual. Notably, this suspect was standing very close to Trump's podium.

A few minutes later, a white man was seen being escorted out by police, his hands cuffed.

After the situation had calmed down, the New York billionaire returned to the stage and declared, "No one said things would be easy, but we must never stop. We will never be stopped."

Mr. Trump then thanked the security personnel for their swift and professional action before continuing his unfinished speech.

This is the second time a Republican candidate has been escorted off the stage while speaking. Last March, while campaigning in Ohio, Trump was also forced to leave the stage when a man stormed in and shouted that he wanted to "deal with the bully."
