The US presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is heating up with alarming incidents and fervent rhetoric. Trump, known for his right-wing populist stance, has resumed campaigning despite an assassination attempt at his golf course in Florida.

He praised the Secret Service for thwarting the attack, while also linking the incident to his proposed tariffs on car imports from Mexico and China. Trump has repeatedly stated that only 'important' presidents are targeted, a sentiment he shared during a town hall event in Flint, Michigan, a city once central to the automotive industry.

There, he promised to revitalize the sector, though his plans remained vague. Meanwhile, Harris has urged for non-violence, following a brief, cordial phone call with Trump after the attack.

Polls indicate a neck-and-neck race, especially in key swing states like Michigan and Pennsylvania. As the election approaches, global leaders express concern over the escalating violence and its implications for US democracy.

Both candidates continue to accuse each other of inciting unrest, with Trump alleging that Harris and Biden are orchestrating attacks against him. The international community watches with bated breath as the tension and stakes rise in this high-stakes election.
