“I’m doing it. I’m really doing it,” she wrote. “Attempting to see how many hotdogs I can eat in 10 minutes again this year. What’s your guess?”

Spiranac put her name in the running to fill in for Joey Chestnut, who was forced out of Major League Eating’s premier contest this Fourth of July holiday because of his sponsorship with Impossible Foods.

She then posted a video she found of herself eating six hot dogs in 10 minutes.

Donald Trump attempted assassination: Bipartisan condemnations [Video]

Lawmakers from both parties are condemning political violence following a second apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, the former president and his campaign are blaming rivals for the attack.In a social media interview Monday night, Trump recounted the moments surrounding the recent attempts on his life: One in Florida and the other in Pennsylvania."There's a lot of rhetoric going on," he said. "When the Democrats talk about a threat to democracy, it seems that both of these people were radical lefts."So far, the investigation in Pennsylvania has not uncovered the political leanings of the shooter, while the investigation in Florida has revealed that the suspect previously expressed support for both Democrats and Republicans.The Trump campaign, including Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance, claimed a "big difference" between conservatives and liberals in a high-stakes race for the White House."No one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple of months and two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple of months," Vance said. "The left needs to tone down the rhetoric."In Washington, leaders from both sides of the aisle condemned the violence."In America, our democracy flows from the ballot box. Not from the barrel of a gun," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said."There is no place for violence in America. None. Zero. Never," President Joe Biden said at a HBCU conference Monday.Meanwhile, investigators are uncovering more details about the attack. Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, made his initial appearance in federal court on gun charges Monday.Investigators say Routh had camped outside of Trumps golf course for more than 12 hours but did not fire any shots or ever had Trump in his line of sight.Routh has a wide-ranging online footprint and previously voted for Trump but recently expressed outrage over Jan. 6 and the former president's views on international events.The Secret Service says Sundays golf outing was an off-the-record event, noting it still had the highest levels of protection as directed by President Biden, on Trump. The latest attempt on his life has renewed concerns over the challenges of protecting the Republican presidential nominee.Trump will be back on the campaign trail, hosting a town hall in Michigan Tuesday night.
