Caption: JD Vance Says He May Have Suspected Conspiracy If Trump Had Died In 2024 Assassination Attempt. U.S. Vice President JD Vance has said he may have suspected a conspiracy if Donald Trump had been killed during the 2024 assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. Vance said he might have assumed "very dark forces" had killed Trump just as he was preparing for a possible return to the White House. President Donald Trump survived the July 2024 shooting at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, after a bullet grazed his ear. One rally attendee was killed, while gunman Thomas Crooks, 20, was shot dead by law enforcement after opening fire from a nearby rooftop. Vance said Trump's death could have created a sense of "illegitimacy" around the U.S. political system, even if another Republican subsequently became president. Speaking to Christian podcaster Bryce Crawford, Vance said many Trump supporters might also have believed a conspiracy had deprived them of their chosen candidate. The conversation also turned to religious ideas about the "end times," with Vance saying the subject had particularly interested him when he was younger.
