The attempt on former President Donald Trump's life Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, prompted formal endorsements and other forms of support from prominent figures, some of whom had previously remained on the fence.

The shooting — which grazed Trump's right ear, killed 50-year-old rallygoer Corey Comperatore, and severely wounded two others — led to a flood of condemnation from top corporate leaders and executives such as Apple CEO Tim Cook, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and others, according to Fortune.

Here is a list of some notable figures who formally endorsed Trump or otherwise came out in support of him in the wake of the assassination attempt.
