Following an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania, Governor Josh Shapiro condemned the violence and worked closely with law enforcement. Despite the attack on his residence days later, for which Cody A. Balmer was charged, Trump did not reach out to Shapiro or publicly condemn the incident, leading to criticism from political figures. Shapiro emphasized the need to address political violence without focusing on its motivations, as investigations revealed Balmer’s discontent with Shapiro’s stance on Israel.
