    F.B.I. officials told members of Congress on Wednesday that the gunman who tried to kill former President Donald J. Trump used his cellphone to search for images of Mr. Trump and President Biden, along with a wide array of public figures.

    According to a person on conference calls with lawmakers, the gunman, Matthew Crooks, also searched for dates of Mr. Trump’s appearances and the Democratic National Convention.

    Seems like he was looking to take out both Trump and Biden.

      Obviously that never would’ve happened, but holy shit that would’ve made for a unique election cycle.

        It’s like the dude saw the meme after the debate that said:

        Live Biden > Biden corpse > Trump corpse > live Trump

        and thought “yeah, I should make that happen.”
