Assassination attempt against Trump

News summary

Former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was shot in the ear. The gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by Secret Service agents, and the FBI revealed that Crooks had searched online about the assassination of President Kennedy just prior to the incident. Trump suggested that the hostile political climate and labels from Democrats labeling him a 'threat to democracy' may have contributed to the attack. Golf influencer Paige Spiranac argued that the incident could spark a much-needed dialogue about political differences, hoping it could lead to a more respectful discourse. Meanwhile, FBI Director Christopher Wray faced scrutiny from lawmakers regarding the security failures that allowed the shooting to occur. Despite the chaos, Trump received a political boost when rival Joe Biden announced he would withdraw from the election race soon after the attack.
