The recent shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania, where Donald Trump was wounded, has sparked reactions from various individuals including vice-presidential candidates, family members, and political opponents. The incident occurred when loud bangs were heard and Trump was quickly rushed off the stage, only to later reappear with blood on his face.
Steven Cheung, Trump's spokesperson, released a statement assuring the public that the former president was unharmed. Trump also expressed his gratitude to law enforcement and first responders for their swift response to the "heinous act". He is currently undergoing a medical examination at a local facility and more information will follow.
The Secret Service, responsible for Trump's safety, also confirmed that he was out of harm's way and an investigation was underway. A video capturing the incident has been circulating, showing the chaos and panic that ensued. Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, shared a photo on social media of his father with a bloody face and a defiant fist in front of an American flag, symbolizing his determination to "Save America".
Meanwhile, the three men on Trump's shortlist for vice president - North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and Ohio Senator JD Vance - all expressed their concern and support for the former president. Rubio even shared a photo of Trump being escorted off stage with a streak of blood on his face and the words "God protected President Trump".
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, also released a statement condemning the violence and reassuring the public that state police were present at the rally. He emphasized that violence towards any political party or leader is unacceptable and has no place in the United States. President Joe Biden is currently being briefed on the situation, but has yet to make a statement.
Even Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of Australia weighed in, describing the incident as "concerning and confronting". He emphasized that there is no room for violence in the democratic process and expressed relief that Trump is now safe. The incident continues to be investigated by authorities, with the Associated Press providing updates.
