Poptodorova: The new attempt to assassinate Trump made Harris's success in the debate meaningless  - 1

The second assassination attempt against Donald Trump shifted the focus away from Kamala Harris' high scores in her debate with him.

This is what the former ambassador of Bulgaria to the USA, Elena Poptodorova, told NOVA NEWS.

Asked if it was possible that civil war would break out in some states, she said: “I don't want to think about it because I believe that the institutions that America has built for centuries are in place, but it is not ruled out in certain states. In Washington, this could not happen, but you imagine how the events on the street in a separate state would unfold.

In her words, if tension breaks out somewhere, it will be where the election result did not satisfy the Republican camp. “Sociological studies are being done, but they are relative”, is Poptodorova's opinion.

Regarding the increased tension in the Middle East, Poptodorova said that never before had there been so many meetings between US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and heads of state from the region. According to her, this means “not just US commitment, but concern that there is no progress to reach a truce”. This is how the diplomat answered a question about the explosions caused by pagers in Lebanon, in which there were deaths and injuries.
