Security has been heightened, and two of the victims injured in the attempt have been upgraded to stable condition. Despite the incident, protests and rallies continue, with energy and defiance evident among the GOP members. The attempt on Trump's life parallels an assassination attempt on Teddy Roosevelt over a century ago. The suspected shooter was seen wearing a Texas YouTuber's merchandise.
