119th CONGRESS — 1st Session
S. RES. 363
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
RESOLUTION
Solemnly marking the one-year anniversary of the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump, condemning the multiple attempts against the President’s life, condemning those who incite violence against political officials, and honoring the victims of the shooting.
Whereas, on July 13, 2024, an attempt was made on the life of President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania;
Whereas Corey D. Comperatore tragically died while shielding his family from the gunfire in Butler, Pennsylvania;
Whereas David Dutch and James Copenhaver were critically injured in the attack and hospitalized in Butler, Pennsylvania;
Whereas, during these attacks, law enforcement, first responders, and medical personnel performed their duties with professionalism and heroism;
Whereas, on December 10, 2024, the Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump released their Final Report of Findings and Recommendations; and
Whereas continued calls for violence against the President of the United States, violent acts carried out against elected officials like those perpetrated against Governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro, Minnesota State House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, and Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman, and continued divisive rhetoric targeting elected officials are contradictory to the tradition of the United States and risk undermining the democratic process and endangering the lives of public servants: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate—
condemns the assassination attempts against President Donald J. Trump on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, and on September 15, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Florida;
honors Corey D. Comperatore, who died while protecting his family from the gunfire at the rally for President Trump;
honors David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were critically injured in the gunfire at the rally for President Trump and hospitalized;
expresses gratitude to the law enforcement officers, first responders, and medical personnel who responded to the attacks, conducted investigations, and provided aid to the victims;
affirms that the United States Secret Service is the agency responsible for protecting the country’s highest elected officials and is therefore central to upholding the constitutional values of the United States;
calls on all people of the United States to unite against political violence; and
