The United States is under tense conditions due to election season. The FBI also confirmed the chances of rising violence in the upcoming election campaign. They are investigating what looks like an attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
This incident happened during Trump’s playing time. He was busy playing golf. A Secret Service agent saw a rifle sticking out from the trees near the golf course. The agent quickly fired, but the person managed to escape. However, later on, the person was arrested.
This event highlights the seriousness of the election season. The incident also raises questions about the safety and security of candidates during this time. Now it is the responsibility of the FBI to take extra measures to stop any further violence.
However, Donald Trump and his companions were not harmed in this incident. A man whose age is 58 years has been in custody with the charges of gun crimes. But there are still many queries about this incident whose answer is unknown.
In two months, it was the second time that someone tried its best to harm former president Donald Trump. It not only raises questions about Trump’s security but also about the increasing violence in the US. This indicates how political tensions can result in dangerous incidents that could take the lives of political candidates.
After the first attack in Pennsylvania, Trump did not blame anyone he said that he wanted the progress of the nation and bring the country together. But now he claimed that Biden and Harris are involved in this attack. He said that the words of Harris forced the attacker to act. Furthermore, his arguments in a recent debate with Kamala led to violence against him. Even though he just wants to save the nation from the person whose aim is to destroy it.
Last week, during a debate with Kamala Harris, Trump claimed he was almost shot because of what Democrats said about him. He believes they call him a threat to democracy, but he thinks they are the real danger. Democrats, on the other hand, warn that Trump’s return could hurt democracy, pointing to his role in the January 6 Capitol attack. Both Biden and Harris were relieved that Trump wasn’t hurt in the recent incident and called him afterwards to express their concern.
At a recent event, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke out against Donald Trump. She strongly opposed him for spreading wrong claims that migrants were eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. She said that this type of harsh language is not suitable for the person whose aim is to govern. It only creates division and distrust in the United States.
After Trump’s comment, Springfield experienced bomb threats that were not real. It caused more police to be present in local schools. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine stated that these threats came from an unknown foreign nation whose aim was to destroy the peace of the United States.
In this same event, Kamala Harris pointed out the insecurity of many Americans. Her remarks highlighted the urgent need for responsible leadership that main purpose is the safety and unity of the nation’s citizens.
She stated,
“Not everybody has Secret Service.”
Trump is planning a tour to Springfield in the next two weeks to tell the supporters of New York,
“You may never see me again, but that’s OK.”
Political violence in the United States
Biden and Harris both stated that no one has the right to spread political violence in the United States. This week, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that the situation is not under control. He said that after the first attack on Trump in July the FBI received a staggering number of hate-filled tips from the public. Recently, an Alaska man was charged with threatening to kill Supreme Court justices, highlighting the severity of these threats.
Furthermore, election officials of more than 15 states also received a suspicious package. It also raises many safety concerns. These events demonstrate the political tensions and spread of harmful ideas.
The hateful language and life threats of political candidates indicate that the political landscape of the United States is under pressure. It is the responsibility of the US leaders to take such actions that stop violence and ensure the safety of candidates who present themselves in upcoming election campaigns.
