The recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump has sent shockwaves through the US election campaign, turning it upside down. Trump, a seasoned campaigner, is using the incident to his advantage, capitalizing on the sympathy and support he has garnered.
The image of a bloodied Trump defiantly raising his fist has become an iconic symbol for his supporters, who now view him as a martyr. This has made it challenging for his opponents, particularly Joe Biden, to criticize him without appearing insensitive.
The assassination attempt has also sparked conspiracy theories from both the right and left, which could have lasting effects on American politics. While some believe the incident will strengthen Trump's voter base, others argue that it may only increase Republican voter turnout.
The true impact of the assassination attempt on the US election will only become clear in November.
