Former president and 2024 Republican nominee Donald Trump has reportedly survived another assassination attempt, one that took place Sunday at his Florida golf club and did not result in injury.
In July, Trump was grazed in the ear by a bullet during a rally in Butler, Pa. As further information is released following the latest incident, so are reactions from Mississippi’s political leaders.
