NEW MEXICO July 13, 2025 - One year ago today, our nation witnessed a tragic and cowardly attempt to silence a leader through violence. On July 13, 2024, an assassin's bullet nearly claimed the life of President Donald J. Trump. It was an assault not only on one man, but on the millions of Americans who stand behind the principles of free speech, liberty, and the America First agenda.
By divine intervention and God's grace, President Trump turned his head at the precise moment that spared his life. We thank the Almighty for His protection that day. Evil may have aimed to take a life, but instead, it only strengthened the resolve of a nation determined to reclaim its voice and future.
We honor the life and legacy of Corey Comperatore. And we stand with President Trump's commitment to seeking justice in his name.
