Trump Survives Assassination Attempt

Good morning! Today, on The Meter, we will cover the attempted assassination of President Trump yesterday at a Pennsylvania rally in Butler. Trump was wounded in the attack as the incident was caught on Live TV. At least one attendee was murdered and 2 others were hit by the gun fire. Calls are now high for the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who was appointed to the role by Joe Biden in September 2022. The attempted assassin has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20 of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, who scaled a building outside the event's perimeter, 130 yards away. Trump supporters noticed the shooter before the Secret Service. The Secret Service returned fire, from a nearby rooftop killing Crooks instantly. A Secret Service blunder or heroic act? Also, the Republican National Convention begins tomorrow and will last until Thursday the 18th. More than 60 speakers will take the stage, including possible nominees for vice-president, a UFC fighter, a rapper, and members of Trump's family. Who will Trump pick for Veep? Also, the calls for Joe Biden to depart the race are growing from his own Democrat Party after Biden's horrific performance in the debate, his continued bungling, and his mishaps at the so-called Big-Boy press conference are fueling the fire. Reports are circulating that Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are working behind the scenes for a Biden replacement at the Democrat Convention next month. Please join the discussion at 10AM.
