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.”

Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

Fox News

The Republican National Convention has officially kicked off in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the Republican base has gathered to rally around former President Trump as their party’s 2024 Presidential Nominee. Days after surviving an assassination attempt while speaking at a Pennsylvania rally, President Trump has prevailed as a pillar of strength–an image that a presidential nominee seeking re-election could only hope for ahead of their party’s convention. Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle calls for President Biden to step down are being overshadowed, granting the President a slim opportunity to reassess how to move forward with his campaign. FOX News Chief Political Anchor Karl Rove examines how the events of the Republican National Convention will fair for former President Trump and responds to growing whispers that the 2024 Election is now the former President’s to lose. Karl and Dana also discuss how the 2024 Presidential Election will impact contentious state elections as voters inch closer to November. Uphill Battle: While the RNC pivots voter attention away from President Biden’s cognitive decline to President Trump’s mission to regain the White House, who’s message of political unity will resonate the best amongst voters?
