Speaking at a campaign event in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Harris expressed gratitude that Trump was not seriously injured and offered condolences to the family of Corey Comperatore, who died in the attack, and well wishes for those injured. Harris emphasized the need for unity against political violence and called for robust, respectful discourse in American democracy. President Joe Biden also urged for cooler political rhetoric and unity in a national address following the incident. The attack has sparked bipartisan denunciation of political violence and reflections on how to engage with political rivals during campaigns.
