Our most recent book is Divided We Stand: The 2020 Elections and American Politics.
Mary Ann Akers at The Daily Beast:
Donald Trump wasted no time hitting up potential donors for money Sunday in the immediate aftermath of the second apparent assassination attempt against him in two months.
Within a few hours, the former president sent out an “Alert from Trump” email blast to potential donors saying: "There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL! Nothing will slow me down.”
In all seriousness, as a former federal prosecutor, I can tell you that a statement like Elon Musk's below DOES require an immediate visit by the U.S. Secret Service. That is the protocol in every similar situation. https://t.co/OuZ4lYoNlu

There is so much going on here, but the first thing is the Secret Service and FBI should be looking very seriously at the NH Libertarian Party, including because they took the original tweet down not because assassination is bad but because of Twitter's Terms of Service pic.twitter.com/GX5P4yDmqD
