     rounds at former President Donald J. Trump during a political 
     rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, wounding former President 
     Trump;
       Whereas Corey D. Comperatore, a beloved family man, project

     while shielding his family from the gunfire;
       Whereas David Dutch was critically injured in the attack 
     and hospitalized;
       Whereas James Copenhaver was critically injured in the 
     attack and hospitalized;
       Whereas courageous law enforcement officers, Secret Service 
     agents, and many other first responders and bystanders 
     assisted in the response; and
       Whereas the attempted assassination of former President 
     Donald J. Trump is a senseless act of violence that 
     underscores the need for peace and civility in the United 
     States: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) condemns the assassination attempt of former President 
     Donald J. Trump during a political rally in Butler, 
     Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024;

     gunfire at the rally for former President Trump and 
     hospitalized;
       (4) honors James Copenhaver, who was critically injured in 
     the gunfire at the rally for former President Trump and 
     hospitalized; and
       (5) calls on all people of the United States to unite in 
     the face of violence and to stand in solidarity with those 
     who were injured or killed during this tragic event.
