WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Joe Biden condemned the assassination attempt against Republican rival Donald Trump on Sunday and said he was grateful Trump was recovering from his wounds in the incident.
In remarks at the White House, Biden said he would address the American people on Sunday night on the need for unity. He said he had ordered a review of what happened at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania.
“There is no place in America for this kind of violence or any violence for that matter. An assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for … as a nation – everything,” he said.
