The nation has been deeply affected, and the election strategy has undergone a significant change with the imminent return of Trump.

Donald Trump is set to make a comeback following an assassination attempt, emerging as a legendary figure within the MAGA movement during the Republican National Convention opening on Monday. This comes after a remarkable two weeks that have reshaped the landscape of the 2024 campaign. Over a day has passed since the tragic events of Saturday's shooting, and the nation is just starting to comprehend the magnitude of this new shocking national tragedy. Despite this, both the ex-president and President Joe Biden are strategizing on how to handle the political repercussions that will follow. 
More than 24 hours later, the nation is still reeling from the aftermath of Saturday's shooting, as the horror begins to sink in and create a new sense of national trauma. However, both the former president and President Joe Biden are actively planning their next moves to navigate the political fallout.
Biden emphasized the importance of unity and peace in the wake of the tragic incident where a former president was shot and an American citizen lost his life while supporting his preferred candidate. The president expressed his sorrow for Corey Comperatore, a firefighter and father, who tragically passed away at a Trump rally while protecting his family. Biden's message from the Oval Office on Sunday night called for a united nation and urged for calm to prevent further political violence.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, emphasized the importance of unity during these challenging times, stating to CNN: "The current situation in the country is concerning. It is crucial for all elected officials, starting from the president, to work towards bringing the nation together. A unified message is necessary to lower the tensions."
In his initial interview following the assassination attempt, the ex-president assured that his RNC keynote speech on Thursday, originally anticipated to be a continuation of his "American carnage" inaugural address in 2017, would take a different approach. Trump informed Salena Zito of the Washington Examiner that this is an opportunity to unite not only the entire country but also the entire world.
