Although President Joe Biden didn’t respond Saturday for more than an hour after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, numerous other politicians—from both parties—were quick to comment.
“They try to jail him. They try to kill him. It will not work. He is indomitable,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, said in a post on X.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., who was shot and seriously wounded in 2017 by a political opponent of congressional Republicans, weighed in.
“Praying for President Donald Trump,” Scaslise posted. “There is never any place for political violence.”
