I doubt Trump's going to get any sympathy votes because:

He's a sociopath and will remind everyone of that immediately.

MAGA Republicans are currently on Twitter blaming Democrats and trying to stoke more violence, meanwhile Democrats are offering their sympathies, and Independents will see the difference.

Getting hit by a piece of teleprompter glass kind of kills the whole "badass" image lmao

The "sympathy vote" after an assassination attempt just isn't a thing. Didn't work for Teddy Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, or George Wallace. And if Teddy Roosevelt - who actually was shot - can't win an election on it, Trump really can't.

America is so polarized that most people have basically already decided, and the ones that haven't are the ones most likely to be put off by the calls for violence and hostility.

yeah people seem to forget how common assassination attempts have been on us presidents or that independents usually don't care about whatever insanity the base wants they only want safety which was a big reason most us presidents of the 70s and 80s were Republicans people were fearful of the increasingly violent civil rights movement and the right took advantage of it if Democrats can just shut up the violent tankies i think this election is more than winnable and even if they don't project 2025 is gaining visibility and well i don't think any independent wants that so please people just campaign and vote blue and everything will be fine us politics trump
