 And that's echoed by Hartford area Congressman Democrat John Larson calling for an independent investigation into the shooting. Now, Larson says the public needs to know how an assassination attempt could happen and why weren't precautions taken. He praised President Biden for calling such an investigation and for reaching out to Trump after the shooting on Saturday. Larson yesterday also expressed his support for Biden staying in the presidential race. And Senator Blumenthal also continued to support the president remaining a candidate for reelection.
