The Chicago businessman stressed that the failed assassination attempt means it’s a set game for Trump in the November election.

Such a contrast has been established in the minds of the electorate. Two weeks before this, you had a debate between Trump and Biden, where everyone acknowledged, including President Biden, that it was a really bad night for him. He just seemed to be at a loss for not answering any questions. Hindu Republican Coalition.
“In contrast to that, we have a man of steel, a fighter. He doesn’t look like a 78-year-old man. After being shot in the right ear, if he had been looking directly, the shot would have gone straight to the head. He stands up and it has this fighting spirit, it says: fight, fight, fight.

Behind the scenes, everyone wants Michelle Obama to be persuaded to become the Democratic candidate, who was involved in Ronald Reagan’s 1984 re-election campaign.
“They have to come up with something different. I hope Obama convinces Michelle to move forward. Then there will be a real fight. They have to find someone else,” said the businessman.
Asked how fundraising is going after the assassination attempt, Kumar said there has been a dramatic increase.
“Money is going crazy. The donor class is seeing that DJT (Donald John Trump) is coming back as the 47th president. I’m sure you’re aware of what Elon Musk did. $45 million a month until the election. Peter Thiel. Great people are coming forward and financing the campaign. Money raising has increased dramatically after the assassination attempt,” said the businessman who is not only a financier but is on the ground getting people to vote as Trump prepares. for a second confrontation with him.

Maybe they are Hindu-Americans, they decide practically at the last minute who they are going to vote for. election day itself, they are not committed to any particular party,” he said.
The 78-year-old former president was injured but survived the assassination attempt, a brazen attack that shocked an already deeply polarized nation ahead of November elections.

Trump was speaking when several booms sounded. He grabbed his ear, with blood visible on his ear and cheek, then lowered himself to the ground as Secret Service agents climbed to the podium, surrounding him and rushing him to a nearby vehicle.

The enthusiasm of the delegates and the people on the ground, the MAGA crowd, the enthusiasm is through the roof. As everyone can feel that at this point, unless May a miracle happen for the Democrats, he is the 47th president of the USA and we are all very happy about that”, he highlighted.
