A shooting incident occurred near Donald Trump's residence on Sunday, prompting security measures for the former president and current Republican candidate. This comes two months after a previous assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, which left Trump with an ear injury and resulted in the death of the attacker.
Trump’s campaign issued a statement confirming that he was unharmed in the latest incident. According to The Wall Street Journal, the shooting took place near Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, where he was present at the time.
The incident follows a heated debate between Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, where post-debate polls indicated Harris had gained a lead over Trump. The U.S. presidential election is scheduled for November.
Rising Tensions After Debate with Harris The recent debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris drew significant attention both in the U.S. and globally. Analysts pointed out that the performances of both candidates had a noticeable impact on voter preferences, as reflected in recent opinion polls.
Harris Gaining Ground in Polls In a CNN/SSRS poll conducted among 600 registered voters who watched the debate, 63% said Harris performed better, while 37% favored Trump. Harris has been steadily climbing in national polls, with her support solidifying after the Democratic National Convention in August, where she outlined a "new path forward" for Americans.
Harris currently holds 47% support, a number that has remained steady since the convention. Meanwhile, Trump's approval has remained relatively stable at around 44%, and his campaign did not see a major boost following the withdrawal of independent candidate Robert Kennedy in late August.
