At a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, former president Donald Trump was the target of an attempted assassination. Sally Sheri was among the first responders to the scene.

In the aftermath of the traumatic encounter, Trump was treated by Sheri, an emergency room paramedic at Butler Memorial Hospital. Sheri noted Trump's strong connection with his family, as The New York Post reported.

“That evening, I witnessed a man with a deeply rooted bond with his family. I heard him speak with his wife, his children, and his grandchildren. He let them know that he was safe and that he was being taken care of,” Sheri said.

“I heard his daughter say ‘Only by the grace of God you’re here,’” Sheri added.

The Paramedic's Observations

Additionally, she made a strong contrast between the man in her care that day and the media's distorted portrayal of him.

“What I saw was a man, that in the aftermath of one of the most terrifying experiences of his life, showed resiliency. He showed strength and courage. He showed that his family was at the forefront,” Sheri said.

“He was compassionate and grateful. He was kind and humble. Several times I stood and stared at him with tears rolling down my cheeks. I held the hand of that man who sends out the mean tweets and I thanked him for loving our country and for fighting for our freedoms,” Sheri said.

Her Work

Sheri spoke passionately about her vocation, which includes post-9/11 work. She spoke candidly about seeing President Trump respond to his calling on that tragic day.

“When I look back to the date of July 13, I see our first responders and our soon-to-be 47th president doing just that: Answering their calling,” Sheri said.

In light of growing voter confidence in Trump's ability to unseat Vice President Kamala Harris, this development is not surprising.

Voter Opinion

Last Monday, Rasmussen Reports released a new poll showing that, by a narrow margin, people expected the former president to win the election.

Voters were questioned in the survey about their opinion on the outcome of the November election, saying: “Regardless of who you plan to vote for, who do you think is most likely to win the presidential election?”

The survey revealed that 45 percent of prospective voters are of the opinion that the former president will reclaim the White House, 43 percent are of the opinion that the vice president will do so, and 11 percent are uncertain.

However, the percentages of individuals who have confidence in their candidate are nearly identical when the data is split by party affiliation.
