WASHINGTON, DC: Lester Holt has recently come under fire for his remark on Donald Trump's second assassination attempt. The NBC anchor suggested that the attempt was made to kill the former president following the “increasingly fierce rhetoric” and baseless claims” from his campaign.

Donald Trump returned to the campaign trail Tuesday in a Flint, Michigan, town hall event after a thwarted assassination attempt over the weekend.

Trump and his allies are blaming Democrats and their rhetoric following the second apparent assassination attempt on the former president. NBC News correspondents Dasha Burns and Aaron Gilchrist report on the latest from the Harris and Trump campaigns.

NBC host Lester Holt tied the assassination attempt against former President Trump to his campaign's references to migrant crime in Springfield, Ohio.

Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, continue to blame Democrats for the alleged attempt on the former president's life, despite continued heightened rhetoric from both of them.
