Former President Donald Trump has selected Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate for the upcoming presidential election. Vance, who initially criticized Trump, has now become one of his most loyal supporters. Known for his 2016 memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," Vance has had a significant change of heart since then. Trump made the announcement at the Republican National Convention, marking his first public appearance since an attempted assassination at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The Secret Service is facing heavy criticism and scrutiny after the assassination attempt on Trump. The attacker exploited a security lapse, targeting Trump from a building 130 yards away from where he was speaking. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has called for an independent review, while several members of Congress have launched their own investigations.
NPR's Claudia Grisales reports that many are puzzled by how this security breach occurred and are demanding swift answers, especially with the November election approaching. The Secret Service explained that their protocol involves designating inner and outer security zones for outdoor events, with the building in question falling under local law enforcement's responsibility. The agency issued a statement denying any blame-shifting to local authorities.
President Biden is resuming his campaign activities after pausing ads and outreach following the incident at Trump's rally. Biden will address high rent prices and meet with Black and Hispanic civil rights groups in Nevada today.
NPR's Deepa Shivaram notes that Biden's campaign has been working to remind voters of Trump's controversial actions during his presidency. However, Biden now faces the challenge of balancing calls for unity while distinguishing himself from Trump in a close election. A House Democrat, who requested anonymity, mentioned that discussions about replacing Biden have ceased for now due to the instability following the assassination attempt and concerns about potential political violence.
