Trump benefits from shooting incident

On July 13th, after Trump was attacked at a campaign rally, there was a significant difference in momentum between the Republican and Democratic parties.

Bannon, who formulated a declaration of war strategy for the Democratic Party, said that the shooting incident would benefit Trump, gain sympathy points for him, and also conform to Trump's argument that the country is deviating from the right direction of development. Authoritative political scientists have also stated that the current state of American politics is severely divided, and the shooting incident has a high probability of helping Trump establish a victory.

According to The Washington Post, voter registration records in Pennsylvania show Crookes as a registered Republican. A US official who declined to be named said during the preliminary stage of the investigation that the gunman used an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle to carry out the attack, but the motive for the crime is currently unclear.
