Paul on Trump shooting: ‘I think we aren't going to know the motive'
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Sunday he believed the public may never know what prompted the attempted assassination of President Trump in Pennsylvania a year ago. 'I think we aren't going to know the motive, and I take that at face value. I know a lot of times when we don't get something and we suspect something, we think government's lying to us,' Paul told CBS News's Margaret Brennan on 'Face the Nation.' 'And look, I have my doubts about government on many levels, but I think on this level, they've tried their best, and I don't think there's a secret answer that they're not revealing to us,' he added. 'I think they just don't know.' Sunday marks one year since Trump faced an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., serving as a turning point for the president both politically and personally. It also kick-started an ongoing reckoning at the Secret Service. The shooting boosted Republican support of Trump for the remaining months of the 2024 campaign, even amid fresh excitement among Democrats as former Vice President Kamala Harris ascended to the top of the party's presidential ticket over former President Biden. 'One year ago today, an assassin opened fire on President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The bullet hit—but by the grace of God, he stood up. Bloodied. Unbowed. And he fought harder,' the White House said Sunday in a post on the social platform X. 'July 13th is a reminder: we fight, we win, AND WE NEVER SURRENDER,' the post continued.

Gonzales on whether Trump's Mexico tariff will hurt Texas: ‘It may' but I ‘support the president'
Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) said he supports President Trump's approach to tariffs on Mexico, even though he acknowledged the tax on imported goods will likely hurt Texans if it takes effect. In an interview on CNN's 'State of the Union,' Gonzales was asked whether the 30 percent tariff that the Trump administration recently announced on Mexico, Texas's largest trading partner, would hurt his constituents. 'It may, but I do support the president in this. I think for too long, Mexico has gotten away with, you know, allowed to do anything,' Gonzales said on CNN. But the border-district congressman said he's hopeful a deal will come together by Aug. 1, the new deadline that President Trump unveiled in his letters to numerous countries about when they should expect 'reciprocal' tariffs to take effect. 'I'm very focused on the Aug. 1 date. What that means is President Trump has given us a couple weeks to try to come up with a solution, and I've seen Mexico … change, from months ago, basically being allowed to do whatever they want to … all of the sudden, they're coming to the table. They're negotiating more. President Trump has mentioned this. They're moving in the right direction. We absolutely have to do more,' Gonzales said. 'But yes, if these tariffs come into place, it hurts everyone,' he continued. After Trump unveiled 30 percent tariffs on Mexico and the European Union, leaders of both trading partners indicated an interest in negotiating with Trump ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline.
