“The Democrats have to stop their grossly irresponsible talk about Trump being an existential threat to democracy," former Attorney General Bill Barr told Fox News Digital reporter Brooke Singman. "He is not.”
The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee have released a new statement:
As was communicated earlier this evening, President Trump is doing well and grateful to law enforcement and first responders for their fast action.
President Trump looks forward to joining you all in Milwaukee as we proceed with our convention to nominate him to serve as the 47th President of the United States. As our party's nominee, President Trump will continue to share his vision to Make America Great Again.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump for President 2024 Senior Advisors Susie Wiles & Chris LaCivita
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chairman Lara Trump
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is demanding answers. He said in a statement on X:
I have already contacted the Secret Service for a briefing and am also calling on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to appear for a hearing. The Oversight Committee will send a formal invitation soon. My prayers are with President Trump and the victims of the assassination attempt at today’s rally in Pennsylvania. I thank the brave Secret Service members who put their lives at risk to protect President Trump and for the American patriots in the audience who helped others who were hurt. Political violence in all forms is unamerican and unacceptable. There are many questions and Americans demand answers.
