Ohio Republican Sen. J.D. Vance responded to the second attempt on the life of his running mate, former President Donald Trump, by expressing his gratitude that Trump is safe.
“I’m glad President Trump is safe,” Vance posted on X. “I spoke to him before the news was public and he was, amazingly, in good spirits. Still much we don’t know, but I’ll be hugging my kids extra tight tonight and saying a prayer of gratitude.”
The FBI said they’re investigating “an attempted assassination of former President Trump” after the U.S. Secret Service shot at a man who was suspected of having a long gun at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The man fled the scene, was arrested by police, and no injuries were reported.
