Senate Unanimously Passes Barrasso Resolution Condemning Trump Assassination Attempt

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) introduced a resolution formally condemning the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump on July 13, 2024. The bipartisan resolution passed the U.S. Senate by unanimous consent.

The bipartisan resolution also honors Corey Comperatore, who died protecting his family at the rally, as well as David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were critically injured. The resolution calls for unity and civility across the country.

"On July 13, our nation witnessed a horrifying assassination attempt on President Trump. Our country was inches away from a catastrophic event that would have changed the course of our history," said Senator Barrasso. "Today, the United States Senate came together in condemning this horrifying act against a former president and current Republican candidate for president.

"We also honor the life of a brave American, Corey Comperatore, who did not hesitate to give his life protecting his family. We honor David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were both critically injured. Americans deserve to attend political events and exercise their rights without fear for their lives. Congress is determined to find answers and ensure this never happens again," continued Senator Barrasso.
