With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

More than 15,000 people across Louisiana have been kicked off of state food-stamp rolls in recent months. The cuts date back to October 1, when federal officials reinstated work requirements that had been waived statewide for years and set aside nationally during the pandemic, according to data from the state Department of Children and Families Services (DCFS) – which administers the federally funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food-stamp program.

In what's being described as “an absolute and abysmal failure” on the part of the Secret Service to protect Donald Trump, FRANCE 24's Genie Godula is being joined by Counter-Terrorism Expert and Security Specialist Will Geddes for in-depth analysis on the astounding security breach. Police had clues that something was amiss before the shooting. Officials are demanding to know how an armed man was able to get to the top of a building and shoot former President Donald Trump. A report of a suspicious man had reached police and witnesses pointed and shouted at an armed man on a roof nearby where Trump was speaking. The attempted assassination left Trump and two other men wounded. A former fire chief, 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, was killed while protecting his family. Investigations will be launched in Congress — in addition to a review ordered by President Joe Biden. Stan Kephart, a former police chief who worked event security for two former presidents, said the shooting followed an “an absolute and abysmal failure” on the part of the Secret Service to protect Trump.
