Summary:"From the acclaimed journalist standing only a few feet away fromthe stage when the gunshots began is this gripping first-hand account of the near assassination of Donald Trump - and the inside story of Trump's heartland-fueled victory."--Provided by publisher.
This book by journalist Salena Zito provides an eyewitness account of the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Drawing on her close proximity to the event, interviews with Trump, his inner circle, and local community members, Zito explores both the immediate aftermath and the broader political context. The narrative examines how rural America, particularly towns like Butler, played a pivotal role in Trump's 2024 election victory, offering insight into the motivations and perspectives of heartland voters.

Author Notes:Salena Zito is a veteran political reporter with more than twenty years of award-winning experience in print and broadcast journalism. With her trusty Jeeps that have clocked well over 400,000 miles on their odometers and a refusal to travel on interstates, Zito is a reporter who harkens to an older generation of journalism, one who listens to the stories of everyday Americans in places far outside the artificial bubbles of Manhattan and the Beltway. One of the last scribes of middle America, she famously popularized the root cause of their failed coverage and underestimation of Donald Trump by the phrase coined by Brad Todd saying, "The press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally." Zito is a national political reporter for the Washington Examiner, and a special contributor to the Washington Post. She has been a columnist for the New York Post and has contributed to The Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
