As the nation grapples with the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, two candidates are vying for a legislative seat left open by another political attack in Minnesota. Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in June and another state lawmaker and his wife were injured in what investigators call a politically motivated attack. The Republican candidate for Hortman's now vacant seat, Ruth Bittner, says the political violence briefly made her reconsider running. Democrat Xp Lee, a former city council member, is also running. He supports a ban on semiautomatic weapons to reduce the charged political atmosphere.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox is making an impassioned plea for Americans and young people to use the horror of Charlie Kirk’s public assassination as an inflection point to turn the country away from political violence and division. Cox spoke Friday at a news conference announcing authorities had a suspect in the conservative activist's killing in custody. Cox says this is a moment to make a choice: escalate or "find an off-ramp.” The two-term Republican governor has throughout his political career issued pleas for bipartisan cooperation and at times drawn national attention for his empathetic remarks. Cox says the 22-year-old suspect in Kirk’s killing had become “more political” in the run-up to Wednesday’s shooting.
