Shots were fired at former President Donald Trump, an incident that could change the upcoming US elections. Trump, with a bloodied face, raised his fist to the crowd right after the shooting. This dramatic moment is unlike anything seen in recent political history.
It has also created new challenges for President Joe Biden, who is already facing criticism after his debate performance. Experts believe this incident has shifted the political landscape and could affect election predictions.
Impact on Polls After Trump’s Assassination Attempt
Dick Morris, a veteran consultant from the Clinton campaign, believes the assassination attempt on Trump will benefit the Republicans in this election period. Speaking on the WABV podcast, he said, “Functionally, the race is over. [Trump] wins if he lives. … There’s nothing that can get into Trump’s path except a bullet.”
Morris predicts this incident could give the Republicans a 10-15 point advantage over the Democrats, especially with the momentum from the Republican Convention in Milwaukee, according to the New York Post.
This lead could be hard for Biden and the Democrats to overcome, especially as they argue over Biden’s mental and physical health. Some Democrats suggest replacing the 81-year-old, but Biden insists on leading the party.

The incident may also influence Trump’s ongoing criminal case, presenting him in a new light to the public.
