Stuart Varney: Trump is unifying the Republican Party after taking a bullet
During his "My Take," Monday, "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney castigated Democrats and members of the media for encouraging Trump hatred after an assassination attempt on the former president at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Now an assassination attempt that came within an inch of catastrophe. Trump hatred has been running strong.

But it is the Democrats and the media which encourage Trump hatred, and they are the ones now calling for a new tone.

Throughout the party there are calls to choose someone else. Very large majorities say Biden is too old and needs to go.

This morning, the election looks very different. The Democrats were hoping to use the Trump mug shot.
Instead, it’s the iconic picture of Trump coming through strong after taking a bullet. He's unifying his party to win.
Biden, with that all-too-frequent vacant stare, is fighting his own party just to stay in the game.
