Assassination attempt on Trump may not sway voters: Policy expert

The political landscape has been roiled by the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

Pangaea Policy Founder Terry Haines joins Morning Brief to give insight into whether or not the assassination attempt had any lasting impact on the election in November.

"One is that I think the assassination attempt certainly has a short-term positive impact for former President Trump's prospects; I don't think it has a long-term prospect," says Haines.

He continues with: "There are bad assumptions all over the place. One bad assumption is that Biden voters will move to Trump. There's not only is there no evidence of that, but there was polling done right before the debate that showed that Biden voters, even ones that were marginal Biden voters, really wouldn't move to Trump under any circumstances."
