Hill: assassination attempt makes Trump ‘indestructible’ in the eyes of his supporters

After the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Republicans are rallying around him like never before, The Hill writes. His supporters now consider him “indestructible” and are confident that he will win the upcoming election regardless of who becomes the unified Democratic nominee.

The assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump is uniting Republicans like never before just as the Republican Party gathers in Milwaukee this week for its national convention, The Hill writes.

Following the assassination attempt, Trump called for unity in a grateful but commanding tone, while his political allies rallied around “their party’s standard-bearer”, circulating an “iconic” shot of the former president holding his fist up in the air with blood on his face.

All of this came amid two weeks of upheaval in the Democratic camp, where there are calls for Biden to withdraw from the election.

“Trump is indestructible,” said New Hampshire Republican State Committee Chairman Chris Eager. – It doesn’t matter who the Democrats nominate. They can wring their hands all they want about President Biden. Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter who they nominate.”
