During the United States’ 2024 presidential race, GOP nominee Donald Trump survived two separate assassination attempts. Meanwhile, the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, was the target of repeated death threats, and a Virginia resident, Frank Carillo, was arrested for threatening her.
The U.S. has a long history of political violence, including the assassination of four presidents: Abraham Lincoln in 1865, James A. Garfield in 1881, William McKinley in 1901 and John F. Kennedy in 1963. And President Ronald Reagan survived an assassination attempt in 1981.
Now, in 2024, many historians and national security experts fear that political tensions and deep, bitter divisions in the U.S. will lead to more violence.

An Arizona resident, Manuel Tamayo-Torres, is facing criminal charges for allegedly threatening to kill President-elect Trump in a series of videos posted on Facebook.
According to CNN reporter Rashard Rose, Tamayo-Torres “faces a felony charge of threatening the president-elect.”
“Court documents did not directly identify Trump, only referring to him as ‘Individual 1,'” Rose reports. “Court documents identify ‘Individual 1’ as a public figure, former president and the current president-elect. Last Thursday, according to court documents, Tamayo-Torres said in a video posted on Facebook, ‘(Individual 1), you’re gonna die. (Individual 1), your son’s gonna die. Your whole family is going to die, (Individual 1). This is reality now for you. This is the only reality you have in your future, [Individual 1], dying.”
Rose adds, “In another video posted earlier this month, Tamayo-Torres threatened to shoot Trump and held up ‘what appears to be a white AR 15-style rifle with a 30-round magazine inserted into it,’ according to the court documents.”
