Has the assassination attempt helped both Trump and Biden?
Emily is in Milwaukee for the Republican Party National Convention, just 36 hours after an assassination attempt on their Presidential candidate Donald Trump.
As both he and President Biden call for unity, we ask whether the shooting on Saturday will help both candidates. Is it an easier race now for Trump? Has it ensured a stay of execution for Joe Biden? And how long will this new-found unity last?
Later in the show, historian and journalist Nick Bryant joins the show to talk about American's violent and constant battle with itself.
