President Joe Biden on Sunday (14) condemned the assassination attempt against his Republican opponent, Donald Trump, called on Americans to unite and ordered a review of the security of the rally where Trump was injured.
Biden, who is locked in a tough electoral battle with former President Trump, said he will deliver a speech to the nation on Sunday night (14) about the need for unity.
“Unity is the hardest goal of all, but nothing is more important than that right now. We will debate and disagree. That won’t change. But we will not lose sight of who we are as Americans,” he said.
Biden added that he had a short but good conversation with Trump on Saturday night (13) and that he is “sincerely grateful that he is well and recovering.”
He said he ordered a security review amid questions about how the gunman was able to position himself to open fire on Trump.
“There is no place in America for this type of violence or any violence for that matter. An attempted assassination is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation,” he said.
