During discussions about the alleged "weaponization" of the Department of Justice, Trump made a comment about taking a bullet to the head.

The Republican nominee argued that the DOJ was weaponized by Harris and the Democrats, not by him.

The participants' responses were muted when the assertion was made, with Democrats slightly outnumbering Republicans.

Trump stated, "I likely received a headshot due to the negative comments about me. They discuss Democracy, yet I am perceived as a threat to it. Conversely, they are viewed as a threat to Democracy."

The red line shot up among Republican respondents, indicating their most favorable response, while Democrats dipped slightly downwards and Independents remained unresponsive.

Trump interrupted by Muir: "The Russia probe that led nowhere."

On July 13, 2024, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump was shot while giving a speech. A gunman positioned himself on a rooftop outside the rally's boundaries and fired at Trump, who was hit in the ear. The Secret Service quickly killed the gunman.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man, was later identified as the gunman, but his motives are still unclear.
