Harris reveals she spoke to rival Trump after a would-be assassin targeted him at a golf course

Vice President Kamala Harris revealed she checked in on rival Donald Trump following the second assassination attempt against the Republican nominee.

The Democratic presidential candidate recounted her discussion with the former president while speaking to the National Association of Black Journalists in Philadelphia Tuesday afternoon.

“I checked on him to see if he was okay, and I told him what I have said publicly: There is no place for political violence in our country,” Harris said. “I’m in this election, in this race, for many reasons, including to fight for our democracy. And in a democracy, there is no place for political violence.”

Officers arrested Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, on Sunday for allegedly aiming an SKS-style rifle through the bushes at Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, whilethe former president was golfing.

The 58-year-old lurked in the bushes for nearly 12 hours beforehand, officials claimed after his arrest. Routh appeared in court on Monday and faces two gun-related charges.

President Joe Biden also condemned the incident on Sunday.

“I am relieved that the former President is unharmed,” the president said. “There is an active investigation into this incident as law enforcement gathers more details about what happened. As I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country.”

Biden revealed the next day that the Secret Service “needs more help.”

“Congress should respond to their needs if they in fact need more service people,” he said.

At Tuesday’s event, Harris also condemned Trump’s false claim that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.

“I mean, my heart breaks for this community,” Harris told the National
