Former President Donald Trump was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, marking a new moment in the race for the White House. The attack in the city of Butler did not seriously injure the Republican candidate, but it ended with the gunman and a Trump supporter dead and two others injured, exposing the political violence in a deeply divided country. To understand how the attack against Trump could change the course of the election, Natuza Nery spoke with Oliver Stuenkel, professor of international relations at FGV and a fellow at Harvard University and the Carnegie Endowment. Speaking directly from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Oliver analyzes how the attack boosts Trump’s campaign, which is set to begin his Republican National Convention on Monday, and explains how the assassination attempt could further mobilize the former president’s supporters to vote in November. Oliver also analyzes how the attack puts more pressure on Joe Biden’s campaign, whose candidacy has been called into question following his disastrous debate with Trump and a series of gaffes.
