Ryan Wesley Routh, accused of plotting to assassinate former President Donald Trump while he was golfing in Florida, allegedly wrote a detailed letter about his plans, which was discovered alongside ammunition and other items outside his home. Meanwhile, the U.S. plans to send additional troops to the Middle East to mitigate escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah. In Nebraska, state lawmaker Mike McDonell has opposed a proposal to change the allocation of the state’s electoral votes, thwarting Trump’s allies’ efforts. First Lady Jill Biden announced a $500 million Pentagon initiative for women’s health research. Additionally, Trump is set to return to Butler, Pennsylvania, for a rally on October 5th, a month before the election, following an incident where he was shot in the ear at a previous event there.
