Trump's defiant response to the assassination attempt, captured in unforgettable images, has even Trump critics calling it one of the defining moments of the 2024 campaign.
"That is kind of political rocket fuel. And so I think you're seeing a consolidation of the Republican Party much faster than I think people anticipated," said Abou Amara, a Democratic analyst.
Polls have been showing more and more states, including traditionally blue Minnesota, within Trump's reach.
"I think Minnesota is very much in play. You've got Donald Trump putting money and campaign resources into Minnesota. The polls show it to be, you know, a toss-up election," said Professor Larry Jacobs from the University of Minnesota.
"I suspect it's going to be appealed. Having said that, what that means now is that there's very little likelihood that this case is going to come to trial before the election," said political analyst and Hamline Professor David Schultz.
Next, there is Trump's pick of 39-year-old Sen. JD Vance as his running mate . Back in 2016, Vance was a fierce "Never Trumper" but like so many has since been converted.
"A Nikki Haley pick would have been like going completely against the grain, and really a play for all those kind of disaffected Republican voters, but JD Vance is a safe play for the Trump campaign," said Amy Koch, a Republican analyst.
