The former President, with his face bloodied, surrounded by Secret Service agents, the American flag behind him, his fist in the air defiant 鈥� how much will that image change the United States? This is the focus of our conversations in this week鈥檚 edition of the programme.

We bring together witnesses to the shooting in Pennsylvania and hear from people at this week鈥檚 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There, supporters with tears in their eyes and bandages on their ears, show their love for Donald Trump.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a strong sense of the holy spirit being in the room, I can鈥檛 express that, it鈥檚 very strong, very powerful,鈥� one of the delegates, Melanie, tells host James Reynolds. 鈥淚鈥檓 very excited about what鈥檚 happening, it鈥檚 the most powerful experience we鈥檙e having here in Milwaukee.鈥�

Since the attempt on Mr Trump鈥檚 life, there has been much talk in the US about less confrontational rhetoric in politics. We also bring together three voters 鈥� two of them undecided 鈥� to discuss this and their options for the November election.
