News summary

Following a second assassination attempt on Donald Trump in two months, acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe is scheduled to meet with the former president at his Mar-a-Lago residence. This latest incident occurred at Trump's golf course in Florida, where a gunman, identified as Ryan Routh, aimed an AK-47-style rifle at the former president but was deterred by Secret Service agents who opened fire. Trump, unharmed, expressed gratitude towards the Secret Service and local law enforcement on social media, while there are growing bipartisan calls for enhanced security measures for him. This incident comes just nine weeks after Trump was grazed by a bullet during a previous attack at a rally in Pennsylvania, which led to significant scrutiny of the Secret Service's protective capabilities. Lawmakers are now demanding answers on how Routh was able to approach Trump while armed, with some suggesting that Trump should receive security comparable to that of a sitting president. The Secret Service has acknowledged its previous shortcomings and is reportedly increasing resources for Trump's protection.
