FBI announced on Wednesday that Iranian hackers have attempted to intervene in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The hackers sent emails to contacts of President Joe Biden’s campaign, using information allegedly stolen from former President Donald Trump’s campaign. The messages included excerpts from Trump's campaign documents aiming to lure Biden's team. The FBI found no evidence that anyone responded to these emails. Kamala Harris' campaign called the emails “unwelcome and unacceptable malicious activity,” treating them mostly as spam or phishing. Harris's campaign spokesperson, Morgan Finkelstein, stated, “We condemn in the strongest terms any effort by foreign actors to interfere in US elections.” The emails were sent before Trump’s campaign publicly acknowledged the hack on August 10. Iranian hackers reportedly stole and spread confidential Trump campaign documents.

House of Representatives speaker Mike Johnson set the tone, saying it was 'providence', plain and simple. Cheating death twice is not an accident nor luck, they are saying. Trump lost no time in laying the blame directly at the door of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. He declared the gunman 'believed' and 'acted' on their 'highly inflammatory' rhetoric. Trump was referring to Biden's past remarks calling him a 'threat to democracy' and making him a target. He went on to call B&H the 'enemy from within' that will 'destroy our country'. But rhetoric doesn't come cheap. Trump was quick to send email 'alerts' to fundraise off the new hook. 'I will NEVER SURRENDER!' but remember to show your love with $25. And so it goes, this turbulent election season marred and scarred by violence, hate and worse.

Biden treated Trump so well and felt sorry about what happened, as per what Trump said, reliving his conversation with Biden from Monday's campaign town hall in Michigan. The audience booed Trump when he mentioned the very nice call he had with Harris earlier in the event.

Routh was charged with two gun offenses on Monday. On Monday, Trump accused Biden and Harris, his rivals in the November election, of inciting violence against him with their words.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name will remain on the presidential ballot in Wisconsin after a judge denied his request to have it removed, potentially hurting Donald Trump's re-election chances. RFK Jr. abandoned his own independent presidential campaign late last month to support the former president, who has offered him a cabinet position if he returns to office. The former Democrat has since scrambled to remove his name from ballots across swing states, stating that if his name remains, he would likely hand the election over to the Democrats after abandoning his presidential campaign. The removal of RFK Jr. from ballots in swing states could help Republicans secure key votes in the tight race for the White House between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
