Donald Trump appeared to be shot in the ear as shots were fired at the former president at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump grabbed at the side of his face and blood spattered across his cheek as several popping sounds were heard.

That bloodied ear is probably his red carpet right into the white house.

Yep, this just secured his victory. Replacing Biden won't even matter after this.

I don't know. How many people are actually going to make their voting decision based on this? Who was going to stay home or vote Biden, but is now voting for Trump?

There's also the factor of this happening 100+ days out from the election. I bet more people are going to forget this even happened by November than will have it be the event that decides their vote.
