   Would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh, 58, of Hawaii echoed Vance's pro-Trump   
   rhetoric as he backed rightist candidates   
      
   The alleged gunman who authorities said targeted former President Trump while   
   he golfed in Florida Sunday afternoon previously declared on social media   
   that “Democracy is on the ballot” this year, and “we cannot lose” — echoing   
   the pro-Trump rhetoric used by JD Vance and his followers.   
      
   Law enforcement sources identified the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58.   
      
   Routh, who has a lengthy criminal record from red state North Carolina,   
   frequently posted about politics and exclusively donated to Republican   
   candidates and causes dating back to 2019.   
      
   He also supported Trump in an April 22 post on X in which he declared,   
   “DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose.”   
      
   He advised Trump, 78, in an April 22 X post when he was still running for   
   reelection, to run a campaign around keeping “America democratic and free.”   
      
   He claimed Harris wants to “make Americans slaves against master.”
