Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Think of it," Trump said.
43% : When you find out about her, all I have to say is defund the police," Trump said.
41% : This week, a number of new polls have shown the race tightening between Trump and Harris.
37% : Trump has also referenced the shooting in fundraising appeals to supporters, but mostly obliquely, releasing mugs and T-shirts with the phrase "Fear Not" and an image of him with his fist raised in front of an American flag -- a similar pose to the one he took after he was shot, although it is not the same photo.
30% : He's gone," Trump said at one point.
27% : This Administration created 300,000 energy jobs, while Trump lost nearly a million and his Project 2025 would undo the enormous progress we've made the past four years," campaign spokesperson Lauren Hitt said in a statement.
27% : Trump also spent some time talking about the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, that injured him and killed one of his supporters.
17% : And now, Trump is forced to pivot to a new opponent just 100 days from the election.
16% : But even as his focus shifts to Harris, Trump often found himself reverting to old attacks against Biden, before catching himself and jumping back to the vice president.
13% : As Trump spoke to the crowd on Saturday, he often found himself attacking his old opponent instead of Harris.
10% : President Joe Biden's exit and the elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democrats' likely nominee has rocked the 2024 election and stolen the news cycle, blunting the momentum Trump could have seen over the last two weeks.
10% : Democrats are scrambling to introduce their candidate on a truncated timeline, while Trump and his allies are struggling to find a consistent line of attack against Harris.
10% : Maybe I've gotten worse," Trump said, adding that the "incompetence" of the Biden administration has angered him.
