Second Assassination Attempt on Former President Trump Foiled by Secret Service
In a shocking escalation of political violence, former President Donald Trump survived a second assassination attempt in just two months. Secret Service agents intercepted Ryan Wesley Routh, armed with an assault rifle, less than 500 yards from Trump’s location. While the attacker’s motives remain unclear, the incident has rallied Trump’s supporters, fuelling their resolve for his 2024 campaign.
Though this event stirred Trump’s base, experts doubt its long-term effect on the presidential race. Security analysts have expressed concern over rising political violence, warning of dangerous divisions in the country.
