After a man tried to assassinate Donald Trump in July at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the stateβs Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, quickly issued a statement condemning the attempt on the Republican presidential candidateβs life.
βViolence targeted at any political party or political leader is absolutely unacceptable,β Shapiro posted on X that day. βIt has no place in Pennsylvania or the United States. I have been briefed on the situation. @PAStatePolice are on the scene in Butler County and working with our federal and local partners.β
