“This assassination attempt on a former president, current nominee for president, and leader of the Republican Party, marks a dark day in American history. Kevin and I are grateful that [former] President Trump is safe and is doing well. We will continue to pray for him and his family, as well as those who were shot and the family of the individual who was killed.
“As [former] President Trump showed when he walked off the stage, we will not cower to such terror. I will be in Milwaukee this week and will proudly stand with him and our party. America will get through this, together, and [former] President Trump will lead us into the next four years.”
