Former President Donald Trump described surviving an assassination attempt at the Republican National Convention, crediting his survival to 'the grace of Almighty God.' Trump, sporting a bandage on his right ear, narrated the harrowing event to a captivated audience and paid tribute to those who came to his aid, including a volunteer firefighter who was killed.
Trump's speech, while starting on a conciliatory note, quickly pivoted to attacks on the Biden administration, alleging political motivations behind his criminal indictments. This marks the end of a four-day convention featuring speakers from Trump's reality TV roots, like Dana White, Kid Rock, and Hulk Hogan.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden faces mounting calls to withdraw from the race due to doubts about his performance and recent health issues after contracting COVID-19. Prominent Democratic figures, including Nancy Pelosi, have expressed concerns about Biden's ability to secure a victory in the election, putting him under significant pressure to consider stepping aside.
