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.

It would be impossible for President Nicolas Maduro to remain in office for a third 6-year term if Sunday’s presidential election in which he is running is “free and fair”, FRANCE 24 International Affairs Editor Rob Parsons said in an analysis. “All the polls have been showing that the unified opposition ... has a lead about 20 percent.
