This week saw the second potential assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump in just a few months. Senior political reporter Aaron Blake talks with Amy Gardner, a national reporter covering voting on the Post's Democracy Team, about this incident and the ways it’s being talked about in the political sphere. They also discuss how threats of partisan violence have become more common and what polling shows about some Americans’ willingness to engage in it.

Today’s show was produced by Laura Benshoff and mixed by Ted Muldoon. It was edited by Lucy Perkins and Mary Jo Murphy.
