ORLANDO — In the hours after Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt at a Saturday campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Florida’s political leaders reacted.

Florida GOP Chairman Evan Power was among them.

“Violence is unacceptable," he told Spectrum News. "Our founders created a system of government where they could change government without violence. And what we’ve seen is a radicalization and attacks against President Trump that’ve taken some very high rhetoric and dark tones.”

Gov. Ron DeSantis delivered his response to the shooting on social media.

"It is great that President Trump is doing well," he wrote. "It is sad beyond measure that a rally attendee was killed and that others were wounded. The American people deserve answers about how this could have happened, as well as information about the assassin."

Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott also tweeted in English and in Spanish, expressing his gratitude that Trump was doing okay.

He also called for a “ZERO tolerance for violence” that was witnessed during Saturday’s rally.

On a more local scale, Republican Florida State Senator Jay Collins, who represents District 14, which includes Tampa, says he knows firsthand what it’s like to be shot at referencing his time serving for his country.

His message to Trump and to his party, however, was to keep fighting in the midst of adversity.

Collins said, “you have to stand up, put your shoulders back and carry on.”

He wasn’t the only one to share these views.

Republican Congressional District 14 delegate, Terry Castro, said despite the concerns over safety, she won’t be backing down.

“I would probably think twice about going to one [rallies] and sitting behind him, but I think I would go,” stated Castro.

Castro is getting ready to head to Milwaukee for the Republican National Committee Convention on Monday.

Joining her is candidate for Polk County Republican State Committeewoman, Kathryn “Kat” Gates Skipper, who despite showing her support is feeling on edge hours after the ex-president’s attempted assassination.

“We have to be extra cautious, obviously,” she said. “I guess I need to be extra careful because I’m kind of carefree a lot of times. I just don’t think something can happen.”

The Florida Democratic party released a post, as well.

“There is no place for political violence in this country — period,” the party’s post on X reads. “The Florida Democratic Party unequivocally condemns today’s violence and thanks the Secret Service, law enforcement, and first responders for their swift response.”

Congressman Maxwell Frost- also known as the democrat whose district includes Orlando- posted a tweet where he called political violence “disgusting” saying it “should be fiercely condemned.”

Echoing a similar message was Democratic State Rep. Ana Eskamani.

Representing Orlando in Florida’s capital, she called political violence wrong and called for people to be “committed to community safety regardless of politics.”

There have been allegations by some in congress, including by U.S. Rep. Mike Waltz of Flagler County, that homeland security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas denied extra protection for Donald Trump at his rallies.

The secret service denied those allegations though claiming that security has actually increased at Trump’s outdoor rallies.
