washington: Former US President Donald Trump was attacked on Saturday in Pennsylvania. Trump was shot while he was giving a speech. Trump bent down on hearing the sound of bullets, but as soon as he was covered by security officials, he got up and was seen on the stage waving his fist in the air. During this, there was blood on his face. Pictures of Trump waving his fist in the air with a blood-soaked face are going viral and this can also change the direction of the presidential election to be held in November. This is being seen as a major event in US politics in recent years. US agencies are investigating it as an attempt to assassinate Trump.
According to the BBC report, this shocking incident of political violence in America will definitely affect the election campaign. Trump’s son Eric shared pictures of him waving his fist in the air on social media and wrote, ‘He is the fighter America needs.’ US President Joe Biden also expressed concern over the incident and said that there should be no place for such political violence in the country.
Biden changed his strategy
According to the report, after the attack on Trump, Biden’s election campaign has stopped all political statements and is working to remove its television advertisements as quickly as possible. He believes that attacking Donald Trump at this time will cause harm. In such a situation, he is focusing more on condemning the attack on Trump. Former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter all immediately issued statements condemning the violence and expressed relief that Trump was not seriously injured.
On the other hand, some of Trump’s close aides and supporters are blaming Biden for the violence. A Republican leader has accused President Biden of ‘inciting murder’ in a post on X. Senator JD Vance, who is in the race to become Trump’s vice-presidential candidate, has said that the kind of anti-Trump rhetoric from Biden and his team was the reason for this attack. Many other Republican politicians are also cornering Biden by saying similar things. This shows that the electoral battle line is being drawn around this incident, it may remain at the center in the coming times which will give a new turn to the election campaign.
