Trump rises after the assassination attempt - but Harris rises more

It is possible to draw several completely new conclusions from yesterday's opinion poll from Siena/New York Times, writes the newspaper.

The measurement has been made after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and Joe Biden's announcement that he is not running for re-election.

It suggests that Trump has benefited from the shooting - his approval rating has increased by six percentage points, to 48 percent. However, Kamala Harris has increased even more – from 36 to 46 percent since the last survey.

87 percent of voters think it was right for Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential election. According to the newspaper, the voters have never before been in such agreement in an opinion poll.

The FBI wants to hold witness interviews with Donald Trump

The FBI wants to question Donald Trump as part of its investigation into the assassination attempt against him earlier in July. CNN reports.

The interrogation is described by CNN's source within the agency as a typical approach and emphasizes that in this case Trump is the victim of a crime.

The FBI also says it is investigating whether Trump was hit by a bullet or "some form of shrapnel," something that has sparked outrage within the former president's campaign, which saw it as an attempt to play down the seriousness of the incident.

- Everyone who believes that nonsense is either mentally disabled or spreading lies for political reasons, says Trump advisor Steven Cheung to the television channel.
