Over the weekend, an apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump took place in West Palm Beach. Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has chosen not to address the incident in a political manner, according to sources. The campaign views this as a non-political moment that will not impact the trajectory of the race.
Both President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris were briefed on the incident and swiftly condemned all forms of political violence. Harris, in her official capacity as vice president, released a statement expressing her deep concern over the attempted assassination. She emphasized the need to condemn political violence and prevent further escalation.
Currently, Harris is engaged in a meeting with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters at their headquarters in Washington, DC. Additionally, she is preparing for an upcoming interview with the National Association of Black Journalists scheduled for Tuesday.
The campaign adviser emphasized that the incident holds no political significance and reiterated the importance of unity in denouncing violence. Harris' statement released via the White House underscores her commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all individuals, regardless of political affiliations.
