The moment that changed an election.

That's how Washington Examiner political reporter Salena Zito remembers the assassination attempt on Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July.

She was there when shots were fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, grazing the ear of the then-former President, critically injuring two men, and killing husband, father, and firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was hit while shielding his family from the gunfire.

Although the Secret Service claims major changes have been made, questions about security failures persist.

We spoke with Zito about her perspectives from that day, the months leading up to it, and her new book, “Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland.”

We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation.

Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with journalist Salena Zito on President Trump’s comeback and his secret to winning over the Heartland in last year’s election.
