View: Attack could exacerbate tensions in US society
==========

Former US President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt over the weekend, which could reshape the 2024 presidential race. Trump claims Democratic targeting, while bipartisan condemnation has been issued. The attack could exacerbate tensions in US society and impact global recovery from COVID-19 and conflicts in Europe and the Middle East. The Republican National Convention will endorse Trump as their candidate. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama have condemned the attack. The polarisation in US politics is so strong that the attack could bridge the schism. The mood in the Republican party is upbeat, viewing this as a development of immense political consequence. India will be carefully watching the situation as it evolves, as any political instability in the US can mean bad news for the world. The attack takes the national and media glare away from incumbent President Joe Biden and puts it squarely on Trump, potentially boosting Trump's chances of securing the White House for the Republicans.
