Trump attends first rally since assassination attempt

Donald Trump held his first campaign rally since he was shot in an attempted assassination a week ago. He told the crowd at the Michigan rally that he "took a bullet for democracy". The former president was joined by his new running mate JD Vance as the US Presidential race continues.
