During a debate, Trump attributed an assassination attempt against him to Democratic rhetoric.

During a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump suggested that rhetoric from Democrats contributed to an assassination attempt against him at a July rally in Pennsylvania. He stated, "I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things they say about me." Trump has accused Democrats of posing a threat to democracy, while the shooter was killed by Secret Service agents at the scene, and motives are still being investigated.
