Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the Trump assassination attempt in her opening remarks at a campaign event in Michigan — her first time speaking about it on camera.
Speaking for the first time publicly since the assassination attempt of former President Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday, Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the violence during a speech Wednesday in Michigan.
„As we all know, it was a heinous, horrible, cowardly act“, Harris said during a moderated campaign event in Kalamazoo. „Thankfully, he was not seriously injured.“
She said as soon as she and her husband Doug saw what was happening, they said a prayer for his well-being, and that their thoughts immediately turned to Trump’s wife, Melania.
„The bottom line is, no one should have to fear for the safety of a loved one because they serve in public office“, Harris continued.
Harris also shared her condolences with the family and friends of Corey Comperatore, who was struck by gunfire and killed at the rally while protecting his family.
