The iconic image seen around the world especially energized the thousands of delegates who have descended on Milwaukee to nominate Trump and potentially complete his political comeback story.

Trump’s response to the assassination attempt also stands in stark contrast to President Joe Biden, who stumbled so badly on the debate stage in June that Democrats have spent the last two weeks urging him to drop his reelection bid over health and mental acuity concerns.

“You have a guy who can’t get off the debate stage without help,” Evan Power, the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, told the Washington Examiner. “And then a guy who’s willing to stand up and put his fist in the air and say ‘fight’ after he’s been shot.

“That makes the choice between the two of them very simple. And I think the American people will be able to understand that choice, and I think he’s going to win big in November because of it.”

“How he got up and how he was calm during complete chaos shows his true leadership and what he stands for,” said Erin Skipper, a GOP alternate delegate from Clay County, Florida, and a local school board member. “It’s what America needs.”
