Assassination Attempt on Trump Ignites Political Tensions in Run-up to Election

Donald Trump arrived in Milwaukee after surviving an assassination attempt, further deepening the U.S. political divide. President Joe Biden has ordered a review of how the shooter got close enough to fire at Trump, who has lifetime Secret Service protection. The attack has intensified discussions around the presidential campaign.

Donald Trump arrived in Milwaukee on Sunday, where he will be formally nominated as the Republican presidential candidate later this week after surviving an assassination attempt that deepened an already bitter U.S. political divide.

President Joe Biden ordered a review of how a 20-year-old man with an AR-15-style rifle got close enough to shoot at Trump from a rooftop on Saturday. Trump, 78, was holding a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania when shots rang out, hitting his right ear and leaving his face streaked with blood. His campaign reported he was doing well.

One person in the crowd was killed and two others wounded. Trump is set to receive his party's formal nomination at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Monday. The Secret Service does not anticipate changes to the security plan.
