Chris Slinker was driving to his mother’s house when the news broke that a gunman had shot at former President Donald Trump during his rally in Pennsylvania.

“The first feeling I had was I was scared. I was actually nervous and scared,” Slinker, a Wisconsin delegate, said Monday. “When I got to her house, turned on the TV and saw that he did escape and it did not kill him, it turned into more of a ‘fight’ attitude.”

Two days later, Slinker and other delegates who spoke with PBS News at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee said the assassination attempt against Trump has changed the mood.
“I would say that the delegates are eager to hear from President Trump, eager to see him, and to just get some reassurance about how he's doing,” Rep. Erin Houchin, R-Indiana, said.
