President Joe Biden said, “It’s sick; this kind of violence has no place in society.” Trump’s opponents swiftly condemned the incident and demanded unity throughout the country. The already turbulent 2024 US presidential campaign takes a darker turn after the shooting incident at an electoral event.
The Republican candidate nearly lost the race when he was shot in the right ear while taking the stage. In the moments following the massacre, Trump’s raising of his fist could come to symbolise his campaign. It’s in line with his preferred public persona of bravery and tenacity. There will soon be a change in the tone and message of his campaign to become president again.

The Biden camp’s calculations are complicated by the violence. The President’s appalling performance in the debate and a slew of embarrassing moments have left the Democratic Party in disarray. There is resentment and mockery as a result of his unwillingness to give way to a younger contender.
Moving forward, there are now several risks associated with a re-election campaign that is solely focused on criticising Trump for his performance in public office and his personal behaviour. Because he just managed to elude an attempted murder.

It is impossible to disregard popular sympathy.President Lula da Silva of Brazil, who is not a fan of Donald Trump, has stated that all those who uphold democracy and political discourse must strongly condemn the insult. Thus, it ought to be. Will it mean that the rhetoric of hate and violence is removed from the Trump and Biden campaigns? Not likely. That is the unsettling truth about the self-appointed protector of democracy.
