NEW: As he continues to weigh potential gun reform legislation, Pres. Trump reassured high-dollar donors at a private fundraiser in Palo Alto that he’ll be a champion for the Second Amendment.
As President Donald Trump continues to weigh potential gun reform legislation, at a private fundraiser this week in Palo Alto, the president reassured high-dollar donors that he’ll be a champion of the Second Amendment amid bids for a bipartisan compromise.
One donor in attendance at the Palo Alto fundraiser, Paul Bruno, a small business owner and National Rifle Association member who’s wary of new gun control measures, said he was called on by the president and asked how he planned to address the renewed push for gun control. The president's comments at this week’s fundraiser come nearly two months after a pair of mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Deyton, Ohio left more than 30 people dead — and as Congress remains stagnant on gun control while lawmakers await proposals from the White House.
Trump’s reelection team knows gun issues could play a major role in next year's election and they’ve been keeping a close eye on how supporters view the issue— with data collected by the campaign showing that the president getting behind any gun control legislation would pose a political problem for Trump ahead of 2020, as previously reported by ABC News.
