Donald Trump was interrupted three times by protesters on Friday during a campaign-style rally in Rockland County, New York, held to boost one of the GOP's most vulnerable House incumbents heading into the 2026 midterms.The first protester was swiftly removed by police as Trump introduced Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) — caught on video but without audio — before Trump had barely gotten started.The second interruption came mid-speech as Trump was ranting about transgender athletes in women's sports, spinning one of his signature stories about a female swimmer dwarfed by a transgender competitor.
