An apparent assassination attempt targeting former President Donald Trump took place at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to the FBI. Secret Service agents, stationed a few holes ahead, noticed a gunman armed with an AK-style rifle, which led to a swift response. The suspect fled the scene in an SUV after dropping the rifle and several other items, including two backpacks and a GoPro camera. Trump reassured his supporters that he was safe and would not let the incident affect his campaign. This attack follows a previous incident where Trump was shot at a rally, emphasizing ongoing security concerns.
The Secret Service's ability to protect Trump has come under scrutiny following these events. Trump is expected to maintain his campaign schedule, with live events planned in Florida and Michigan. Vice President Kamala Harris also condemned the violence, stating that it has no place in America.
