"If internal polling is true, the softening of support for TFG in "safe" red states fare badly for the ex-pres in battleground states. W/GOP struggling to give Moreno an edge over Brown, any resources spent protecting TFG's OH majority is a resource not spent courting votes in battleground states."

Ohio hasn't been a swing state for years. Could November change that?
Ohio voters are moved to split their ticket because of unlikeable Republican candidates. This is cause for concern for the Trump campaign.

guardian live update: assassination scene
Failed Trump assassin viewed rally as 'target of opportunity'
The gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, viewed the event as a “target of opportunity”, the FBI revealed today, according to the Associated Press.

The special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh office, Kevin Rojek, told reporters that Thomas Crooks, who opened fire on Trump, searched on the internet for: “Where will Trump speak from at Butler Farm Show?” “Butler Farm Show podium” and “Butler Farm Show photos” ahead of the former president’s rally in July.

However, Rojek said that Crooks’s motive remains a mystery: “We have a clear idea of mindset, but we are not ready to make any conclusive statements regarding motive at this time.”FBI say Trump gunman spent months researching events and seeking a target before settling on Trump's Pennsylvania rally
The gunman who tried to assassinate former president Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania in July searched more than 60 times for information about Trump and Joe Biden, before registering for the Trump rally, according to a new Reuters report that cites FBI officials.

Reuters also reported that Kevin Rojek, the FBI’s top official in western Pennsylvania, said that the 20-year-old gunman, Thomas Crooks, mounted a “sustained, detailed effort to plan an attack on some events, meaning he looked at any number of events or targets”.

Crooks then became “hyper focused” on the Trump rally after it was announced, Rojek said.

According to USA Today, Rojek said that Crooks researched the Trump and Biden campaigns between April and July 2024.

guardian: If you’re just joining us, the US justice department filed a new indictment against Donald Trump on Tuesday over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Here is how the new indictment protects the case, and differs from the original indictment, in the wake of a July supreme court decision ruling saying that Trump and other presidents have immunity for official acts, but not unofficial ones.

Put simply: portions of the new indictment are rewritten to emphasize that Trump was not acting in his official capacity during his efforts to try to overturn the election.

The document retains the same four criminal charges against Trump that were originally filed last summer.

Here are some of the aspects that have changed:

The new document removes mention of Jeffrey Clark, a former justice department official who aided Trump’s attempt to try to overturn the election. Clark was the only government official who was listed as an unnamed co-conspirator in the original indictment. “Trump is therefore absolutely immune from prosecution for the alleged conduct involving his discussions with Justice Department officials,” the supreme court wrote in it
