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.

Vahine Fierro, who surfs for France, is a local hero in Tahiti, having grown up here. This punishing wave of Teahupo’o is her home break, and she surfs it fearlessly. She was in the middle of a tough heat against her French teammate Johanne Defay, and it was not going well for her.
