I will tell you that after the tragedy in Butler, the assassination attempt of the former president, bullets that left Cory Caperator dead, and two other of our fellow Pennsylvanians injured and changed the lives of so many families, sadly, for so long. It was President Biden who spoke to me that evening. I believe it was multiple times that evening. He was on top of that, on top of so many other things. I'm grateful for the president's partnership. I was grateful that he reached out to me just moments after he decided to end his campaign. (59:24–59:31)
