Gina Swoboda, chair of the Arizona Republican Party, said that while President Joe Biden "is dodging cognitive tests," former President Donald Trump is "dodging bullets" and proving he is dedicated to serving the citizens of the United States. 

"Biden is dodging cognitive tests. President Trump is dodging bullets," Swoboda said in a post on X. "Only one is willing to die for the future of America. I call on all Arizonans to join us in praying for President Trump and those in attendance."

An attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was made at a Trump Rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13. Secret Service members moved Trump off the stage after shots were fired on him while speaking at the rally. A bullet grazed the former president’s ear, but he was otherwise unharmed. 

A local Pennsylvania firefighter was killed in the audience, and two other audience members were critically wounded. 

The shooter, 20 year old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed during the incident. FBI agents were able to identify him by tracing the rifle he used, which had been legally purchased by his father. 

Trump was able to travel and arrived in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention, which kicked off on Monday, July 15. 

President Joe Biden condemned the attack in several statements made since the shooting, calling for citizens to deal with their political differences peacefully, and said he had spoken with Trump since the attack. Biden still plans to move forward with his campaign for the November election. 

Swoboda is the Chief Elections Policy Officer of Restoration of America, a principal at Agrippa Consulting Group, LLC, and the Senior Policy Advisor to the Arizona State Senate Committee on Elections. Swoboda previously served in the Arizona Secretary of State’s office under two administrations. 

She is an alumnus of Arizona State University (ASU), having graduated Magna Cum Laude, and is currently a grad student at ASU pursuing her master's degree in political psychology.
