House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released a statement regarding the second reported assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump in Florida.
"I am grateful to hear that President Trump is safe following today's reported assassination attempt in Florida. I join in thanks for our hardworking law enforcement officers working to keep President Trump, his family, and his team safe."
Stefanik expressed concern over the security measures surrounding the former president. "However, we must ask ourselves how an assassin was allowed to get this close to President Trump again? There continues to be a lack of answers for the horrific assassination attempt in Pennsylvania and we expect there to be a clear explanation of what happened today in Florida."
She concluded with a call for unity and vigilance. "Thankfully, God continues to watch over President Trump. As Americans we must unite behind him in November to protect our republic and bring peace back to the world."
