Republican and Democratic lawmakers condemn the assassination attempt on Trump

Lawmakers from both sides of US politics immediately condemned the assassination of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump during a rally on Saturday.

"This horrific act of political violence at a peaceful campaign rally has no place in our country and must be unanimously and forcefully condemned," said House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Republican Senator Marco Rubio, one of the people mentioned as Mr Trump's possible vice-presidential running mate, took to the X platform by posting an AP photo of a bloodied Mr Trump with the comment "God save President Trump".

Even Republican Senator Ted Cruz posted the photo on X, calling Mr. Trump's reaction "extraordinary."

"God bless President Trump", he said.

Democratic leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives immediately condemned the political violence.

"It's terrible what happened at Mr. Trump's rally in Pennsylvania, and I'm relieved that former President Trump is OK. There is no place for political violence in our country," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Platform X .

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries wrote on X: "America is a democracy. Political violence of any kind is never acceptable."

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said: "Today, all Americans are relieved that President Trump appears to be doing well after a despicable attack during a peaceful rally. Violence has no place in our politics."/ VOA
