Shots were fired near Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, where former President Donald Trump was golfing. Trump, the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, was reported safe following the incident.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been briefed on the incident. The White House expressed relief that Trump is safe and indicated that they will stay updated on the investigation.
Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the shooting on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Violence has no place in America.” She expressed relief that Trump was unharmed.
The shooting follows a failed assassination attempt on Trump in July at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. This incident has intensified debates about the U.S. Secret Service’s effectiveness and resulted in increased security measures around Trump and other presidential candidates.
