Nick Bryant: former BBC US correspondent on what the Pennsylvania rally means for Trump's campaign

Questions are being raised over what Trump's campaign will look like after the recent Pennsylvania rally shooting.

Trump was grazed by a bullet in an assassination attempt at a rally yesterday, which left one attendee killed and two others injured.

Former BBC US correspondent Nick Bryant believes the event allows Trump to revel in a sense of martyrdom and victimhood.

"Also, it makes him seem more presidential. Because figures like Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and obviously Joe Biden have had to come out and say - this was a terrible event."
