I’ve honestly been really surprised that this was the only ‘real’ assassination attempt in recent memory. I was surprised that no one went after Obama, nor Trump after him and Biden after him. The rage was so high, yet it’s only now that anyone from either side makes a real attempt.
I’m just making a guess here, but there could have been more attempts that were nippedl in the bud early enough that we have never heard of them, because the would-be assaains were sloppier and got caught.
Oh I’m sure that’s the case. There are probably many attempts. Having said that, it’s shocking this is the only one in recent times that has gotten this close.

You’re correct. You’ll notice every president in recent history has multiple assassination attempts listed. The bulk of them don’t go very far.

I guess Bush had a shoe thrown at him though.
