This House resolution condemns a politically motivated attack that took place on April 25, 2026, at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. The text says shots were fired, that the President, First Lady, Vice President, and Cabinet members were evacuated, and that the suspect had a manifesto and weapons and meant to target administration officials. The resolution praises the quick response of the Secret Service and other law enforcement, notes an injured Secret Service Uniformed Division officer who is expected to recover, calls the attack a troubling escalation and an assassination attempt, and restates the value of a free press and peaceful political debate.
The resolution expresses the House's official condemnation of political violence, commends responding law enforcement, urges citizens to resolve differences peacefully, calls on public figures and media to reject rhetoric that encourages violence, and urges Congress to pass a Department of Homeland Security funding bill that includes robust funding for the Secret Service.
The resolution urges more funding for the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service but does not specify dollar amounts or detailed spending. No publicly available information.
