"In America, we make decisions for our democracy through ballots and not bullets. I am glad former President Trump was not seriously harmed. I am thankful for law enforcement’s quick response. Political violence is always unacceptable and must be condemned."

Ruben Gallego

Mark Lamb

"Our prayers are with President Trump and his entire family. We are heartened to hear that initial reports indicate President Trump is not seriously injured, and we pray that is indeed the case. I applaud the quick reaction and work of law enforcement and members of the Secret Service to move the President to safety and neutralize the suspect. We await further details while law enforcement investigates this unconscionable incident."

Gabby Giffords

"Political violence is terrifying. I know. I'm holding former president Trump, and all those affected by today's indefensible act of violence in my heart. Political violence is un-American and is never acceptable-never."

Mark Kelly

Mayor Kate Gallego

Paul Gosar

"Maude and I are praying for Donald Trump, his family and all of America following the cowardly and heinous assassination attempt of the 45th President of the United States. I am extremely grateful to the brave law enforcement officials protecting President Trump and I thank God he is doing well and will never stop fighting for the American people."

Gina Swoboda

"Biden is dodging cognitive tests. President Trump is dodging bullets. Only one is willing to die for the future of America. I call on all Arizonans to join us in praying for President Trump and those in attendance."

Thomas Galvin

"I am disgusted and appalled by the attempt on President Trump's life. In the United States, we resolve our differences at the ballot box and move on. We have had too many presidents and candidates struck by assassins or would-be killers. My fervent prayers are for President Trump, his family, and the families of the victims.

I want to assure Maricopa County residents I will do everything I can to keep them safe while they exercise their constitutional right to vote. And I will make sure our law enforcement and public safety officials have all the resources they need.

Once again, I pray for President Trump's full and complete recovery."

“President Trump is a warrior. His righteous fight to save America has agitated the darkest and most hateful forces in our nation. Today’s attempted assassination exposed the profound depths of those evil forces. I pray that our country and our people turn back to God, and for the continued safety and wellbeing of President Trump.”
