Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso, R-Wyo., led a majority of the Senate in introducing a resolution on Tuesday to officially condemn the attempted assassination of former President Trump earlier this month at a rally in Pennsylvania.
If passed in the upper chamber, the resolution would condemn the attempt on Trump's life, honor the victims who were killed and injured at the rally, and call for unity and civility in the United States.
The condemnation amassed 64 co-sponsors, notably including both Democratic Pennsylvania Sens. Bob Casey and John Fetterman, whose constituents were victims.
Barrasso plans to request passage of the resolution either through a mechanism known as a 'hotline' that allows for objection or by unanimous consent on the Senate floor. It would take one senator's objection to prevent either.
