Author: Failed assassination attempts may have given Trump an edge with voters
A New York Times bestselling author said the failed assassinations of Donald Trump may have given the former president and president-elect an edge among voters that helped him win on Tuesday.
“The assassination attempts on Donald Trump not only failed to bring him down but may have given him a boost among voters that carried through to Election Day,” Joshua Lisec said in a statement. “The attempts solidified Trump’s support among Republicans, who viewed them as an anti-democratic attempt to change the election outcome while also allowing him to showcase his strength and resilience among independent voters.

Lisec is the co-author of the new book “Bulletproof: The Truth about the Assassination Attempts on Donald Trump.” It is the first complete investigative report on the two attempted assassinations of Trump.
