RESOLUTION

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 on 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 United States tradition and risk undermining the democratic process and endangering the lives of public servants: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives—

(1) - 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;

(2) - honors Corey D. Comperatore, who died while protecting his family from the gunfire at the rally for President Trump;

(3) - honors David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were critically injured in the gunfire at the rally for President Trump and hospitalized;

(4) - 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;

(5) - 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 Nation’s constitutional values; and

(6) - calls on all United States citizens to unite against political violence and condemns those who incite violence against political officials.
