Trump fundraises off assassination attempt as Biden suspends campaign ads

Donald Trump’s campaign has started soliciting donations following an assassination attempt on him, while Joe Biden’s campaign has suspended all TV ads in response to the attack.

Just a day after the shooting, which resulted in one death, Trump’s campaign sent fundraising texts linked to the GOP-affiliated WinRed platform, featuring images of Trump in a defiant pose.

Meanwhile, Biden’s team has paused all communications and is quickly removing TV ads, the Independent has reported.

The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, is a 20-year-old from the Pittsburgh area, who used an AR-15 purchased legally by his father, though investigators are still determining if it was taken with permission.
