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. As president, Trump can order more information about the attempts released, which could shed light on questions that remain.”
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.
