Former President Trump, who was today again nominated to be his party's candidate at the RNC Convention, but the assassination attempt on Saturday has left many unanswered questions regarding the Secret Service.
The chief of the Secret Service reportedly was aided by Jill Biden in landing that position:

Even though Donald Trump was shot, and one other rally-goer killed, after a gunman accessed a roof just about 130 yards away during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, DHS Director Alejandro Mayorkas made it clear that it's unlikely anybody will be held accountable for the security failure:

Is anybody very surprised? We didn't think so.
Nobody is getting fired as usual. https://t.co/6iQvECT0ed

Mayorkas having full confidence in something gives us zero confidence.

This from a guy we have ZERO confidence in!

Yep. The DHS Secretary also spend a couple years telling us he's confident the border was secure.
How? How can he possibly have 100% confidence in the Secret Service Director? Is anyone ever held accountable in this administration???

Nope, ZERO people have been held accountable during the Biden years, and that includes for the botched, deadly and tragic withdrawal from Afghanistan. It's almost as if ineptness is a feature, not a bug, to work for the Biden White House.
No surprise there...that's ok, hopefully in 6 months, he'll get fired.

Yes, hopefully.
