Donald Trump Survives Assassination Attempt Ahead of RNC Nomination

Donald Trump arrived in Milwaukee, set for his Republican nomination after surviving an assassination attempt. President Biden called for a review, emphasizing the need to curb political violence. The assailant was killed, and Trump's rally saw casualties. Tensions rise as Trump-Biden rematch approaches.

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

President Joe Biden, a Democrat, 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. As a former president, Trump has lifetime protection by the U.S. Secret Service. Trump, 78, was holding a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania - a key state in the Nov. 5 election - when shots rang out, hitting his right ear and leaving his face streaked with blood. His campaign said he was doing well.

One person in the crowd was killed and two others wounded. Secret Service agents fatally shot the suspect, the agency said. Biden sought to calm the country on Sunday, delivering a brief televised address from the Oval Office in the White House.
