Bill > SRes363

This resolution solemnly commemorates the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, while also addressing broader concerns about political violence. The resolution specifically honors Corey D. Comperatore, who died protecting his family during the shooting, and recognizes David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were critically injured. It commends law enforcement, first responders, and medical personnel for their professional and heroic response to the incident. The resolution condemns both the specific assassination attempts against President Trump and the broader trend of political violence, including attacks on other elected officials like Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota state legislators. It calls on all Americans to unite against political violence, affirms the United States Secret Service's critical role in protecting elected officials, and expresses concern that continued divisive rhetoric and violent acts pose a threat to democratic processes. By highlighting these multiple assassination attempts and their context, the resolution seeks to underscore the importance of maintaining civil political discourse and protecting public servants from threats and violence.
