Monday marks 50 days until the 2024 presidential election in a campaign that was already among the most turbulent in American history even before Donald Trump faced an apparent assassination attempt for the second time. The potential attempt on Trump’s life came nine weeks after the Republican former president was grazed by a bullet at a rally in Pennsylvania. It cast a pall over a presidential race that was already marked by upheaval. and it comes as early voting begins in some states. Rice University historian Douglas Brinkley said the “deeply troublesome” event coming on top of an already dramatic year with an election looming has created “a kind of uncertainty across the land.” Said Brinkley, “2024 has just unspooled in a chaotic and frightful fashion. It’s impossible for anybody to get footing in their daily lives with a news cycle that is so constantly grim and absurd.” As the presidential campaign races ahead following another apparent attempt on Trump’s life, FRANCE 24’s Nadia Massih is joined by Dr Christopher Featherstone, Associate Lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of York.

Political violence is also in Europe. The United States doesn't have a monopoly on this issue.
@tomhenry897
Democrats are doing the violence

A typical MAGA white male voter in America. Possibly hired by Trump’s team to ‘be found’ in the bushes so that Trumpee could get publicitee. Dirty trick.

Listening to an English scholar talk about presidential politics in America makes as much sense as listening to me talk about royal family. Neither make any sense.

Look up the American "I know nothing" political party. We've been thru this before.
@RangerXXT
all disillusioned trump supporters…..
@giovannidepetris6335
There was no attempt !! The person Was plotting it perhaps. The secret agent may have fired not the suspect,
@giovannidepetris6335
There is only one party at fault: the Republican Party of racism assaulting the capitol in January six constantly talking about bloodbath and violence.
@UnDaoDu
Only one man to blame. He voted Trump 2016 and supporter of Ukraine… Trump support of Putin motivated him.
@outlawbillionairez9780
Nope. Only one Party promoting the weapons and violence. Only one promoting hatred, racism, misogyny, xenophobia. Only one.

When one discusses extremism in American politics it's best to qualify the notion by including that it is all right wing extremism, the Left does not exiat in The U.S.
