It’s a time to reflect on the ways that our political process has been infected by reprehensible violence. “In America, our democracy flows from the ballot box. Not from the barrel of a gun. Period. “In the meantime, for the second time in as many months, law enforcement faces an even more urgent task: completing a thorough, swift, and transparent investigation into the circumstances of yesterday’s close call. “The American people deserve answers. They deserve assurance that a former President who tens of millions of Americans have nominated once again will receive every appropriate measure of security. And they ought to receive them without delay.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:46:43Z |
