An assassination attempt on US presidential candidate Donald Trump occurred during a campaign rally in Butler, Philadelphia, on July 13. In general, such a high-profile event has sharply increased the chances of victory for Joe Biden's main opponent.

Political scientist Taras Zagorodniy expressed this opinion to Channel 24 , noting that Trump is now setting the tone for the election campaign.

Will the assassination attempt on Trump change the Democrats' position on Biden?

Donald Trump saw an additional opportunity and will actively use this fact in his election campaign. In particular, he has already summoned the head of the Secret Service to the hearings in the House of Representatives.

They will actively pump up the topic that there was an alleged conspiracy of the Democrats against Donald Trump, supposedly the Democratic Party wanted to remove a competitor because it was losing the election, – said Zagorodny.

Trump will accuse the current government that there was an alleged conspiracy against him. At the same time, the Democrats will be forced to constantly justify themselves about this event.

It is unlikely that this event will force Biden to withdraw from the elections. In addition, his physical condition will worry everyone, and Trump looks much more alive against his background, the political scientist noted.

In his opinion, the unsuccessful assassination attempt on Trump will be one of the top topics of the Republican candidate's election campaign. They will pump up this topic for at least another month.
