National and local politicians shared their reactions after the FBI announced the agency is investigating “what appears to be an attempted assassination” on former President Donald Trump.

A U.S. Secret Service agent discovered the muzzle of an AK-style rifle poking out of a bush at a golf course at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s private club in Palm Beach, Florida.

The agent discovered the suspect, identified as Ryan Routh, a couple of holes ahead of where Trump was playing.

The agent fired and then Routh fled in an SUV, leaving behind an AK-style rifle, two backpacks and GoPro camera.

The alleged second assassination attempt comes after Trump was shot at a July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe,” Vice President Kamala Harris tweeted Sunday afternoon.

Harris also stated that violence had no place in America, a notion reiterated by Harris’ vice presidential pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

“Gwen and I are glad to hear that Donald Trump is safe. Violence has no place in our country. It’s not who we are as a nation,” Walz said in an X post.

Trump’s vice presidential pick, JD Vance, tweeted on X that he was glad and grateful that Trump is safe.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with President Trump and his family following the alarming event that unfolded at President Trump’s West Palm Beach Golf Course earlier today,” the Nevada GOP Party shared in a statement on its X account.

U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto, D-Nev., expressed gratitude for law enforcement officials’ quick response.

“Political violence can never be tolerated in our democracy, and I look forward to the suspect being brought to justice,” Cortez-Masto wrote on X.

“I am relieved to hear that President Trump is safe following reports of shots fired near him today. Political violence is never the answer and has no place in our democracy,” Sen. Jacky Rosen stated on X.

The Nevada senator is running for re-election against Republican Senate nominee Sam Brown.

Brown said he was grateful for Trump’s safety and honored to be at his rally in Las Vegas on Friday.

“We continue to pray for his protection and the future of our nation,” Brown shared on his X account.

Routh has been taking in custody and the FBI is investigating to determine Routh’s motive.

People traveling through the Sierra Nevada should make alternate route in case there are road closures, according to the National Weather Service.

California issued its earliest snow advisory in the past 20 years with an alert early this week for residents in the Sierra Nevada, according to the National Weather Service.

From Sunday to Monday, areas of the Sierra Nevada above 8,000 feet can expect some snow as a trough, a region of low atmospheric pressure, brings between a 35% to 65% probability of 2 inches of snow or more.

“We have a very cold draft moving into the area this afternoon and evening, and [it] will move through on Monday,” JP Kalb, a forecaster with weather service, told USA TODAY.

The trough will also bring rain to the San Joaquin Valley.

The winter advisory will remain in effect from 11 p.m. local time Sunday night to 5 p.m. Monday.

Slick roads

California’s State Road 120 passes through the Tioga Pass, an area near Yosemite National Park that is expected to receive more snow than other areas, according to the weather service. It is one of the main roads that leads to the park.

There is a 40% chance it will receive 3 inches of snow or more.

The pass, which is 231 miles east of San Francisco, is at an elevation of 9,943 feet in the Sierra Nevada and usually closes in the winter due to snowfall.

Visitors in areas of Yosemite National Park could experience snow as well.

Those traveling through the Sierra Nevada this week should have alternate plans in case of closures. People driving through the Valley should watch for slick roads.

Yosemite National Park will make the decision on whether to close SR 120, David Spector, a weather service meteorologist, told USA TODAY.

Second chance of snow later this week

There is another 40% chance the Tioga Pass will see 3 inches or more of snow from Wednesday to Thursday as a second trough moves into the area.

California Wildfires won’t be affected

Southern California is coping with several wildfires. However, they will not be impacted or lessened by the rain.

“Most of the wildfires are well South of where we have the advisory,” said Kalb.

The weather service forecasts the precipitation will be 33% to 40% below average. Last year was slightly below average.

Despite the early snow advisory, the weather service forecasts that the Missouri River Basin Drought, which is affecting areas of northern and southern California, could continue to worsen through September.
