In the wake of an assassination attempt that has deepened the already intense political divide in the US, Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he would attend the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he would receive a formal nomination for president later this week. Trump survived the assassination attempt, which has only strengthened the divide.
Democrat president Joe Biden, a representative of the current administration, has expressed his intent to investigate the manner in which a 20-year-old man carrying an AR-15-style rifle got close enough to Trump’s rooftop to fire at him from there. According to the US Secret Service, Trump has lifetime protection from the US government as a former president.
A shooting occurred on the evening of November 5 at a campaign rally held by Trump, 78, in Butler, Pennsylvania, one of the most crucial battleground states for the upcoming elections. Shots were fired, grazing his right ear and causing bleeding on the face of the 78-year-old candidate. According to the campaign, he is doing well and only has an injury on his upper right ear, which is the only major injury he has received so far.
A Republican National Convention is scheduled to begin on Monday at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during which Donald Trump is expected to receive the official nomination of his party. Fox News correspondent Michael Whatley told Fox News on Sunday that the Republican National Committee, as well as other authorities, are working together for months in order to secure the venue, and that extensive security measures had been planned for months in advance.
The Republican National Convention, which I was planning to attend, was going to be delayed by two days, but I have now decided that I can’t allow a potential assassin to force me to change my schedule or anything else because of a shooter. As a result, I will be leaving for Milwaukee at the scheduled time,” Trump wrote on Sunday on his Truth Social page. According to him, he will depart in the afternoon and will be arriving back in the late evening.
