The disclosure, during private briefings to lawmakers in the House and Senate, offered more details from the early stages of the investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump.
F.B.I. officials told members of Congress on Wednesday that the gunman who tried to kill former President Donald J. Trump used his cellphone to search for images of Mr. Trump and President Biden, along with a wide array of public figures.
According to a person on conference calls with lawmakers, the gunman, Matthew Crooks, also searched for dates of Mr. Trump’s appearances and the Democratic National Convention.
Seems like he was looking to take out both Trump and Biden.

Or just anyone of notoriety who was nearby
Yeah more likely an opportunist
Obviously that never would’ve happened, but holy shit that would’ve made for a unique election cycle.
It’s like the dude saw the meme after the debate that said:
Live Biden > Biden corpse > Trump corpse > live Trump
and thought “yeah, I should make that happen.”
