First rally appearance of Trump since Vance's shooting by his side
Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in the state's Bundesstaat, last Saturday. The 78-year-old was lightly wounded by a bullet near his ear. Trump is currently benefiting from the weakness of his 81-year-old rival Biden, who is facing a heated debate among Democrats about his fitness for a second term. Requests for Biden to drop out of the race for the White House were rejected by his campaign manager on Friday.
- During his campaign appearance in Grand Rapids, Michigan, last week, candidate Vance expressed his support for Trump.
- The first Republican to publicly criticize Trump following the assassination attempt was his former aide, Page.
- The demonstration against Trump in Grand Rapids was more intense than previously anticipated, with protesters demanding a stricter examination of his fitness to be the US-President.
- Despite the political turmoil, Trump's campaign in Pennsylvania has shown no signs of slowing down, with massive rallies and vocal supporters echoing his "Make America Great Again" slogan.
- In response to the assassination attempt, several Republicans have called for increased security at Trump's campaign events.
- After the close examination of the bullet, it was revealed that it was not sourced from the same batch used in Trump's grand rally in Pennsylvania.
- The assassination attempt has put Trump's presidency under renewed scrutiny, with many questioning his ability to effectively lead the country in a time of crisis.
