Analysis Summary
A new study documents that Republicans with higher conspiracy thinking are more likely to believe Democratic involvement in Trump's July 2024 assassination attempt, confirming that political bias shapes conspiracy beliefs. The core finding is verified, but the specific 80% statistic overstates the actual endorsement rates found in peer-reviewed research (which documents lower overall acceptance). This pattern of partisan conspiracy thinking is real and well-documented by researchers studying the post-assassination period.
