Trump leaves bullet proof stage to check on woman who fainted at his rally

Republican Nominee, Donald Trump, defied security protocol after a woman at his rally fainted and was being attended to by the Emergency Medical Team at the venue.
Trump, who narrowly escaped assassination last month, left the protective glass stage to check on the woman. After noticing she was okay, he gave her a hug and returned to the protective glass stand.
The rally was held in North Carolina, believed to be one of the swing states in this election even though it has voted for the Republican presidential candidate in just about every election over the past several decades.
Pundits have categorized North Carolina as one of the battleground states due at least in part to the coastal state’s razor-thin margins of victory in recent presidential contests.
A swing state, according to a literal definition, is one that’s “considered to play a key role in the outcome of presidential elections” and where candidates of both the Democratic and Republican parties “have similar levels of support.” The group of such states each presidential cycle is often similar, although variations can occur due to factors like changing demographics and turnout.
