Trump supporters' fist-raised 'Fight' chant becomes new rallying cry after assassination attempt
Supporters of former President Trump have adopted a new rallying cry in the wake of the assassination attempt this past weekend.
Chants of "Fight! Fight! Fight!" could be heard throughout the stadium hosting the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The chant echoes Trump's own shout moments after being shot at his rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump raised his fist and yelled in defiance as the Secret Service escorted him off the stage from his Butler rally.
The incident has become a heavy unifying force for the Republican Party, with even Trump's rivals in the party speaking on his behalf at the RNC.

"You don’t have to agree with Trump 100% of the time to vote for him," Haley said. "Take it from me. I haven’t always agreed with President Trump. But we agree more often than we disagree."
DeSantis echoed the message of unity in his own remarks, taking the stage just after Haley.
