First Presidential Debate
The 2024 election presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will take place in Atlanta, GA.
July 14, 2024
Former President Donald Trump was rushed offstage after shots were fired at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Saturday evening. Trump said in a social media post that he was injured when a bullet pierced the upper part of his right ear.
The Secret Service says Trump is now safe, and he was checked at a local hospital before leaving a few hours later. Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., told CBS News' Robert Costa that his father is "doing fine."
The U.S. Secret Service confirmed two people are dead — the gunman and an audience member — and two spectators were critically injured. State police said the shooting victims were all men; their names were not released.
"U.S. Secret Service personnel neutralized the shooter, who is now deceased," the agency said.
Reporters heard numerous shots and Secret Service rushed the stage. Video captured by CBS News shows Trump touching his ear and then crouching to the ground. Some blood could be seen on his face.

Post-debate analysis
In CBS News' post-debate coverage and analysis, anchored by John Dickerson and Cecilia Vega, Major Garrett described it as "the Warren G. Harding memorial vice presidential debate. In 1921, Warren G. Harding promised the country a return to normalcy. That's what this debate was. It was substantive, far more substantive on the facts and policies than the leading candidates, the presidential nominees have been to date. It was in a way a kind of embrace of bipartisanship on tough issues…"
Anthony Salvanto with an instant polling reaction found that watchers were evenly split on whether Tim Walz or JD Vance won the debate — though 88% agreed that the overall tone of the debate was positive.
CBS News contributor Ed Gordon on civility: "The civility that we saw tonight may be a mistake by Democrats. He added that Gov. Tim Walz "missed an opportunity" to press Sen. JD Vance on "the racial insensitivity" of claims about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.
National correspondent Jericka Duncan hosted a voter panel in Michigan following the debate. Four said that Sen. JD Vance won the debate. Vance "was a smoother talker," said one voter who supports Kamala Harris, though he believes Gov. Tim Walz "did answer more of the questions with data points and with evidence."

Chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes' reaction: "If you took a shot every time you heard the words 'I agree' tonight, you'd be under the table right now."
