Secret Service agents rushed Donald Trump offstage on Saturday evening during a rally in Reno, Nevada after they determined a protester in the audience might pose a threat to the Republican presidential candidate.

A man holding a sign saying Republicans Against Trump was tackled by security agents, after claims that he had a gun.

Mr Trump returned to the stage minutes later.

He told the crowd: “Nobody said it was going to be easy for us, but we will never be stopped- never ever be stopped.

The Republican candidate says he is going to target states seen as Democratic strongholds ahead of Tuesday’s election.

He is set to visit Pennsylvania, Michigan and also Minnesota, which has not voted Republican since 1972.
