California lawmakers call for prayers, denounce violence after ‘incident’ at Trump rally
California lawmakers quickly called for prayers and denounced violence after former President Donald Trump was taken away from a campaign rally following apparent gunshots.
“Violence has no place in our democracy,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said on X, formerly called Twitter. “My thoughts are with President Trump and everyone impacted at the rally today.”
Trump appeared to have blood on his face as he was taken away from the stage at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. His condition was not immediately clear, but the U.S. Secret Service said the former president was “safe” after the “incident” and a campaign spokesperson said he is being checked out at al local medical facility.
“The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former president is safe,” Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesperson for the Secret Service, said on social media. “This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.”

President Joe Biden has received a briefing on the incident, according to White House pool reports.
At one point during the rally, while Trump was at the podium, bangs started ringing through the crowd. The former president could be seen reaching with his right hand toward his neck, and there appeared to be blood on his face.
He quickly ducked behind the riser as agents from his protective detail rushed the stage and screams rang out from the crowd. The bangs continued as agents tended to him on stage. Before being taken away, Trump raised his fist in the air.
“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” said Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung. “He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”
Political violence has no place in our democracy and should never be the answer to settle our differences. We must overcome the divisions in our country.
Thankful for law enforcement’s quick response today in PA.
Wishing Pres. Trump and all impacted a speedy recovery.

Horrified by the news of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Our country is founded on the principle of free speech for all, especially our political opponents.
As Americans we must be committed to rooting violence out of our political process.

Originally Published:
Congressman Kevin Kiley has announced his plan to run in California’s newly redrawn 6th district.
In a statement on Monday, Rep. Kiley revealed he had considered running in the 5th District – which could have set up a possible showdown between two current Republican officeholders.
“It’s true that I was fully prepared to run in the new 5th, having tested the waters and with polls showing a favorable outlook in a “safe” district. But doing what’s easy and what’s right are often not the same,” Kiley stated.
Kiley currently represents California’s 3rd district, which originally comprised counties making up much of the back spine of the state.
As of the Prop. 50 redistricting push, the 3rd district was redrawn for the 2026 midterm election to lean toward the Democratic Party – with those eastern spine of California counties lopped off and more of Sacramento County, including Rancho Cordova, added.
California’s new 6th district is now comprised of Rocklin, Roseville, Citrus Heights, much of North and East Sacramento, and the city of West Sacramento. Democratic Rep. Ami Bera currently represents the district, but will be running for the new 3rd district in 2026.
Other declared candidates for the 6th district include Democrats Lauren Babb Thomlinson, Thien Ho, Richard Pan, Kindra Pring, Tyler Vandenberg, and Republicans Christine Bish, Craig DeLuz, and Raymond Riehle.
Kiley was first elected to the House in 2022 and was reelected in 2024.
