For the past week, the theory circulating was that Donald Trump's brush with near assassination had left him a "changed man" more focused on unity than retribution

But, when he delivered his speech to the Republican National Convention Thursday, he pivoted from prepared remarks to the same themes voiced at multiple previous allies, former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) told The View.

Attendees at the Republican National Convention waved signs demanding "mass deportation now," echoing Donald Trump's campaign pledge, but conservative commentator Charlie Sykes wondered how exactly that policy could be carried out.

The former president's signature political issue has been purging the U.S. of undocumented migrants, whom he derides as inherently dangerous and filthy, and he has vowed to expand and stiffen the draconian policies he implemented in his first term if re-elected to serve a second, which Sykes told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" posed some horrifying questions.

Donald Trump flouted his Secret Service detail and stood up to pose for a photograph after a gunman fired shots at him during a rally, and security experts were "flabbergasted" by the reaction to that apparent assassination attempt.

Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle is facing intense criticism for security failures that failed to stop 20-year-old Thomas Crooks from firing several shots toward the former president at a rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, but NBC News correspondent Ken Dilanian raised questions on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" about Trump's personal security detail.

Republicans were underwhelmed by Donald Trump's acceptance speech for the party's nomination, according to MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire, while Democrats gained new hope they can win November's election.

The former president accepted the GOP nomination for the third time Thursday night in a record 93-minute speech that started as a call to unity following a shooting at his rally last week but quickly veered into one of his characteristic rambling monologues, and Lemire told "Morning Joe" that Republicans feel like he missed an opportunity to attract undecided voters.

A series of leaks about private conversations between President Joe Biden and Democratic leadership suggests the dam is breaking on his chances of remaining the party nominee, according to MSNBC's John Heilemann.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) became the latest Democratic lawmaker to call on Biden to step aside, and party leaders Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi have privately urged the president to exit the race over concerns about his age and fitness, and Heilemann told "Morning Joe" those leaks appear to be part of a pressure campaign to get him to drop out.

Democrats cannot credibly stick with President Joe Biden after three weeks of questioning his ability to win re-election and serve a second term, according to MSNBC's Claire McCaskill.

The calls for Biden to step aside suddenly burst into public following his alarming debate performance, and the president's efforts to alleviate their concerns have failed to stop the bleeding of support from congressional Democrats who are concerned about their own re-election chances, and McCaskill told "Morning Joe" that it's probably too late to turn things around.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough described the "dizzying" series of events that have left President Joe Biden with few options to continue as the Democratic presumptive nominee.

The calls for the 81-year-old president to drop out have grown louder since his frail performance onstage at the first presidential debate last month, but the "Morning Joe" host said the dynamics had changed dramatically since his program signed off the day before.

Eric Trump is now changing his story about the injury his father suffered in an assassination attempt.

Speaking to Forbes at the Republican National Convention Monday, Trump's son said, "Well, it's been a pretty somber mood, right? I mean, my father got shot at. Somebody took off half of his ear."

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) blasted Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) for being another far-right MAGA loyalist added to a presidential ticket while purporting to be moderate.

Speaking on MSNBC Tuesday, Goldman said that Donald Trump's new running mate is "the baby of MAGA and QAnon."

Donald Trump's 2016 campaign collected data that identified the family of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks as likely MAGA supporters and among those who were avid hunters and enjoyed "gun-related lifestyle indicators."

According to a report from the U.K.'s Channel 4, "The information was compiled as part of a secretive project aiming to identify millions of gun owners in America who could be targeted with pro-gun rights messages in the lead-up to the 2016 election campaign."

Veteran newsman Phil Williams in Tennessee detailed a massive failure by the Millersville Police Department, whose members tried to conduct a sting operation that he reported may have played fast and loose with the law.

Reporting for WTVF News Channel 5 out of Nashville, Williams said that he obtained recordings showing that "conspiracy-minded" cops "may have crossed the line of what's legal" during a "sting" on a child predator ring.

"The View's" Whoopi Goldberg isn't buying into Donald Trump's "unity" message after his near-death experience.

The topic arose while the co-hosts were discussing President Joe Biden's NBC News interview with Lester Holt and questions about how to talk about the danger to democracy "when a president says things like he says."

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) isn't happy with Donald Trump choosing Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) to join the presidential ticket.

While Vance brings "youth" to the table, the former governor wasn't supportive of his "lacking in executive experience." In fact, Vance's only political experience is less than two years as a senator.
