Donald Trump is set to travel to Milwaukee for his formal Republican nomination after surviving an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania. The incident has intensified America's political divide, already fraught with tension.

President Joe Biden has demanded a review after a 20-year-old suspect, Thomas Matthew Crooks, armed with an AR-15-style rifle, managed to shoot Trump from a rooftop. Trump, hit in his right ear, escaped major injury and plans to proceed with his Milwaukee trip. The suspect, later identified as a registered Republican, was swiftly neutralized by Secret Service agents.

Authorities are still investigating the shooter's motives. The event comes amid a heated election season, where both parties are scrutinizing political affiliations. Trump's rally attendee, Corey Comperatore, was tragically killed while shielding his family from gunfire. With security concerns heightened, the Secret Service denies allegations of inadequate protection for the former president.
