Donald Trump's fellow party members come to the Republican Party convention in Milwaukee wearing bandages on one ear or imitations of them as a sign of support for Trump after he was wounded in an assassination attempt, showed photos released Reuters on July 18.
Reuters photos show at least eight attendees and guests of the several-day Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, WI, using bandages, sticky notes or other means to show solidarity with Trump.
One of these makeshift “headbands” was seen to read “Fight, fight, fight” - the words Trump shouted to the crowd, raising his fist in the air after being shot in the ear at a rally on July 13, a few days before the convention. Since then, the politician has been appearing in public with a bandage at the site of the injury.
Meanwhile, CNN states the unpredictable imbalance that has now occurred in the US election race. Donald Trump is “triumphant” while Joe Biden is going through “his worst days” - after a failed debate, amid numerous calls from Democrats to drop out of the race, and now with COVID-19.
Trump is set to officially accept the Republican Party's decision to nominate him as its presidential candidate on July 18, “pulling off one of the most stunning comebacks in political history after his attempt to steal the 2020 election, an unprecedented criminal conviction, and surviving an assassination attempt,” CNN writes.
The channel calls the watershed events of the past three weeks “a blow unseen in half a century.”
However, we can only talk about Trump's complete comeback if he actually wins the election and becomes the second president in US history to return to the White House after a break and a first term. So far, only Grover Cleveland managed to do this in the late nineteenth century, when he was the 22nd and 24th president of the United States. Trump may become the 45th and 47th.
In this case, Trump's new rise will be even higher and more incredible than his unexpected victory in 2016 election.
"His return to the top of the Republican nomination list proves what is now becoming quite clear: Trump was not just an random error, but is emerging as a historic political force that has completely changed his party and could do the same to the country-for better or worse-if he returns to the White House on Jan. 20."
Speculations over Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race
Vice President Kamala Harris might replace the 81-year-old Biden on the November 5 election ballot, following an underwhelming debate performance against Donald Trump, Reuters reported on July 3.
Key Democratic donors have also speculated that Michigan or California governors could be potential candidates.
Biden has firmly stated that he has no intention of withdrawing from the race and would only do so "if Almighty God himself came down and told me to," defying calls from sponsors and Congress members.
Democratic Senator Michael Bennet became the first on July 9 to suggest that Biden is likely to lose the November election.
Biden reiterated his commitment to the race and expressed confidence in his chances against Trump in an interview with NBC News on July 16.
“I may be old, but I’m only three years older than Trump, for one thing. And secondly, my mental acuity is damn good,” Biden said.
“I’ve accomplished more in these 3.5 years than any president has for a long, long time. So, I’m ready to be judged on that.”
