Trump Survives Assassination Attempt at Milwaukee Rally

Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at a political rally in Milwaukee, sparking intense scrutiny of the U.S. Secret Service and prompting President Joe Biden to order an independent review. The assailant, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, acted alone, and the incident has further polarized the already divided political landscape.

Donald Trump arrived on Sunday in Milwaukee for the Republican convention, where he will be officially nominated as the Republican presidential candidate. This follows a dramatic assassination attempt that intensified the political divide in the U.S.

The gunman, a 20-year-old man named Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to shoot at Trump from a rooftop, injuring the former president and killing a rally attendee. The attack has put the U.S. Secret Service under heavy scrutiny, with both Republican leaders and President Joe Biden demanding swift investigations and independent reviews.

Despite the incident, federal security officials have announced no changes to the security protocols for the convention. Meanwhile, President Biden's campaign has shifted its strategy to emphasize unity, halting all critical ads aimed at Trump. As the nation braces for possible further political violence, Trump's supporters have started blaming Democrats for the heightened political tensions.
