Former US President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania by Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was subsequently killed by Secret Service agents. President Joe Biden addressed the nation, urging to reduce political tensions, highlighting the need to avoid violence in American politics. The incident has further polarized the political climate ahead of the November 5 polls, with concerns raised about security protocols and potential domestic terrorism motives. Trump, in interviews, described the event as a 'very surreal experience' and emphasized his miraculous survival, crediting Secret Service for their swift response. Investigations are ongoing, with the FBI looking into the shooter's phone for ideological motives, as both parties navigate the aftermath of the attempted assassination.
