The journey from the foothills of Appalachia to the halls of Congress proved one thing: JD Vance understands how to accumulate power in American politics. Less than two years after being elected to Congress for the first time, he has officially climbed further than anyone expected for such a short time — and could end up being springboarded to even greater heights.

The connections that catapulted JD Vance from Trump critic to running-mate

Now updates on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. A number of investigations are underway. The FBI is looking into the attack as a potential act of domestic terrorism. President Biden has ordered an independent security review and says he's committed to sharing the results publicly, and House Speaker Mike Johnson says Congress will carry out a full investigation as well. But what are the broader security implications of the shooting? For that we have called Republican Congressman August Pfluger of Texas.

What we know about the alleged Trump shooter

Throughout the weekend, and in the week that is now beginning, we are being clear with you about what we know and also about what we don't know. We should remind you that in a developing story like this, we learn new facts. Things we thought were facts turn out not to be true. Perspectives change, and our job is to be as straightforward as we can about all of that. Questions about the assassination attempt fall into at least two categories. One of them involves the shooter and his motive. The FBI has said little about that, but hopes to find evidence by gaining access to the phone of the man they identify as the gunman. The other category involves the Secret Service, which is supposed to secure events like this. Somehow, the gunman climbed onto a roof that offered a clear shot down to the stage where Trump was speaking. Bill Gage is a senior security consultant with Safe Haven Security Group and was a Secret Service agent under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Mr. Gage, welcome to the program.
