Trump rewrites speech in wake of assassination attempt
SUMMARY
Former President Trump has decided to rewrite his Republican National Convention (RNC) speech in response to the shooting at his rally, which the FBI is investigating as both an assassination attempt and domestic terrorism. The attack resulted in one fatality, former fire chief Corey Comperatore, and left two others critically injured. Trump initially planned to focus his RNC speech on criticizing President Biden's policies but now intends to use the platform to emphasize national unity. President Biden, in response to the shooting, called for a reduction in political tensions and temporarily halted campaign advertisements. Trump explained that his raised fist gesture during the incident was meant to convey resilience and signal that America persists despite challenges. He said that he is grateful for the Secret Service's response and praised the bravery of those injured, noting that they were recovering from their injuries.
