On March 12, 2032, JD Vance, the 48th president of the United States, was assassinated while at a rally at Scioto Audubon Metro Park in Columbus, Ohio. Vance was on stage giving a speech, joined by United States Senator Josh Hawley, when he was fatally shot by Anthony Schafer, a Californian nationalist. Secret Service officials immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead 17 minutes after the shooting; Ron DeSantis was quickly sworn in as president at 4:12 p.m., less than an hour after the attack.
Leaders from several nations expressed shock towards the event, as it was the first presidential assassination in the United States since the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, and the first of the nation's five to occur during a major war. DeSantis announced a private state funeral would be held the following week. After the assassination, Schafer fled the scene and was apprehended by local police officials. He was charged with first-degree murder under Ohio law; he was found guilty in June 2032. Schafer was revealed to have ties to the Golden Society, an anarcho-communist and Californian ultranationalist paramilitary organization.
The assassination brought scrutiny and media attention to the Golden Society, leading to its eventual designation as a terrorist group and dissolution within the Reformed States.
