with the images for president trout raising his fist framed by an american flag over him, secret service agents trying to protect him. bloodied from this attack is going to be the defining image of the selection that will be the image that is played ad nauseum when you discussed the 2024 election. what the effect of this was attack was was to strengthen trumps position. she leads, buying in most polling is gonna be very difficult for president buying to make a round as this removes or notifies democrats and major attack or chris trump, which is the he was a threat to democracy. trunk can now claim very legitimately that the threat to democracy, the threat to our way of governance comes from both sides. some people like you, i guess, believe that it will benefit trump, but could americans perhaps fear a possible vengeful president and, and possible violence and choose not to vote for him because of that. i don't think that that's the reaction that you're going to see. i think the president trump's approaches is claims of uh, you know,

the threats of retribution against this political allies were in place long before this attack. i think if that was a few, that was going to motivate their behavior is already motivated. so i don't know that this changes the background. dynamic thinking solidifies trumps. for long space. maybe the on the not obvious outcome of this attack is also strict since president binds position, look at his party. the attack overshadows are actually uh no biased. any calls from with the democratic party in buying the step down. so if anything, i think the business that this attack at the effective strengthening sort of binds position is the democratic nominee, but also comes strict and the overall race. speaking of president biden, he has called the unity, he suspended his campaign. what do you think we can expect from democrats in the upcoming days and weeks? i think for president biden, you're seeing exactly what we'd expect it. whether or not this attack occurred present binds, facing, increasingly, uh, sort of widespread calls, move democrats on him to withdrawal. he survived those who spilt enough of the

coalition to push back against them, respected that he would probably go dark during the republican national convention this week. this really reinforces it by and not being in the spotlight really helps his efforts to try it, sort of build up or repair is internal position and the party from other democrats . i think the only thing you can expect is universal condemnation of political violence in all shapes and forms to do otherwise would be to play directly into republican messaging. as was undermined. democrats, longstanding, message of composing any sort of political violence where the machine was quite an island from the rising group in washington dc. quite and thank you very much for your insights today. well, let's head back to the scene in pennsylvania for a moment and hear from the reporter from the associated press and use agency who witnessed the attack on donald trump and captured this by clinic image. here behind me, evan verge, he has been, he is come a covering the former us president. he gave his account of what happened at the

rally. so today i was photographing for president trump uh, at the campaign rally here in the butler, pennsylvania. i was right in front of the stage directly from the stage. it was a normal rally. you know, i've done it hundreds of times and over my left shoulder i heard several, several pops and i knew immediately it was gunfire. so i looked at the stage and i saw the secret service agents rushing to, uh, president trump. uh, from that moment i, i ran to the stage and i started photographing with the agents on top of them. and then off to my right, i saw a secret service counter. salt team arrives and and then i ran to the other side of the stage and they picked president trump up. and then as she was walking down the rap php start, just popping to the crowd waving. i mean, i didn't know that she had blood coming down the space as you can see. and the photos of the agents took them down the ramp and they put them into an s u be. and

again, as he was doing into the c b, he also started pumping his fist ago. i'm not sure how long it was from beginning to end, but, you know, in my mind it was that all happened really fast. at the moment, i heard the shots being fired. i knew that this was a moment american history that had to be document. i mean, it's our, our job is journalist to do this work that was reported to evans gucci. he's from the associated press news agency. he witnessed the attack on donald trump. let's take a look now at some other stories making news today. jim and police say a suicide has killed 2 people before turning the gun on himself and the southwest instead of bothering pushing back the attack occurred in the village of i've stopped lounging and 2 others were seriously injured. a syrian start media is reporting that he's riley strikes around the capital damascus, have killed one, probably call them and find to anointed 3 authors. the is riley army says he targeted military infrastructure in response to 2 to 2 drawings launched from syria

a very solid sides and they have the quality to be able to win this game. i mean, we're seeing that they can also fight through adversity come from behind score, last minute goal. and we can forget that they played in the last bureaus final. so they have experience in this tournament, and they are going to want to win the trouble be. and as the, just as you heard by me say before they want football to come home and they are hopeful that it will you had a day from down your bus elaina from the w spots done. your thanks so much and now the sports news spans carlos on carouse that become the wimbledon singles champion and a rerun of last year's final 21 year old powered to a straits it's victory or the veterans stood with 7 tot this a 7 times. we know of the trophy know that y'all give it is still recovering from nice surgery, but he's about to get straight, straight back to work, to prepare for the power. so the impacts and then cycling today po goodshaw has one stage 15 of the 2 of the front, extending his overall leading the rice,
