Donald Trump is set to attend the Republican National Convention after surviving an assassination attempt. The former president was wounded by a would-be assassin, a shocking twist in a US election campaign that has sent shock waves through his supporters and spurred fears of violence to come.
Men open a Trump flag for a prayer vigil for former president Donald Trump during a voter registration event in the downtown area before the start of the Republican National Convention on July 14, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
This comes after a shocking twist in Mr Trump's presidential run when he was shot in the ear by a bullet at a campaign event yesterday ] which came within inches of taking his life. The gunman opened fire from the roof of a building about 140 metres from the stage where Donald Trump was speaking, hitting the former president while killing one rally attendee and critically wounding two others.
Trump also posted on his Truth Social platform saying Americans must "remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness" while stressing that it is "more important than ever that we stand United not allowing Evil to Win." Meanwhile, political leaders around the world - and in Australia - have condemned the assassination attempt.Spanish then translated into English: "On behalf of all of Venezuela and our people, I want to condemn and repudiate the attack against former president Donald Trump, wish him a speedy recovery, and may God bless the people of the United States and give them peace and tranquility. We have been adversaries, but I wish president Trump health, a long life, and I condemn this attack.
