Harris-Trump showdown: Presidential race rocked by 2nd assassination attempt with 50 days until election

Fifty days until Election Day - and the race for the White House is rocked once again.

Two months after former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in western Pennsylvania, the Secret Service opened fire while Trump was playing golf at one of his courses in southern Florida to prevent what appeared to be a second assassination attempt against the former president.

After decades without an assassination attempt against a sitting president or major party presidential nominee, for the second time this summer, the nation has narrowly avoided a tragedy of gigantic proportions that would only further deepen the nation's already firmly cemented polarization.

"Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!" the former president vowed in a fundraising email to supporters on Sunday, following the incident.

A top Trump ally, Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, argued in a statement that "as Americans we must unite behind him in November to protect our republic and bring peace back to the world."

It is way too early to gauge whether the latest incident will impact the race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed President Biden.

The only thing that is certain is that the time left in the 2024 campaign is fleeting.

Harris emphasized that the "clock is ticking," as she called on supporters at a fundraiser on Saturday to volunteer and mobilize their friends to vote.

"Please join our teams in our battleground states and help register folks to vote. … And talk with your neighbors and your friends about the stakes," she urged.
