The hosts of MSNBC&#8217;s Morning Joe discussed the recent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, with co-host Joe Scarborough highlighting the significant risks faced by both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. He urged Congress to take action and provide necessary funding for the Secret Service to enhance security measures. The incident occurred while Trump was golfing in West Palm Beach, where a suspect named Ryan Wesley Routh was found nearby armed with an &#8220;AK-47-style rifle&#8221; before fleeing, according to law enforcement reports. During the segment, NBC News investigations correspondent Tom Winter emphasized that the Secret Service requires additional resources to safeguard both candidates in the upcoming 2024 election due to elevated threats. Scarborough noted that there are only 50 days left until the election and remarked on the high threat levels against both individuals, commending the Secret Service for their response but reiterating their need for more support. This marks Trump&#8217;s second survival from an assassination attempt within two months; he previously faced a similar situation during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. Unlike after that first incident when Morning Joe was replaced by special coverage on streaming services, this time they were able to discuss it live on air. Following Sunday\u2019s event, Trump expressed gratitude towards law enforcement and thanked them for their &#8220;OUTSTANDING&#8221; efforts in ensuring his safety while maintaining his campaign schedule with upcoming rallies planned in Michigan and Wisconsin. Investigations into this latest attempt are underway by both the FBI and Secret Service, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also announcing a state investigation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2341762,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Morning-Joe-co-hosts.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4402,34242,34163],"class_list":["post-2341761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-congress","tag-morning-joe","tag-secret-service"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Morning-Joe-co-hosts.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2341761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2341762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2341761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2341761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2341761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
