Sunday night, President Biden made a prime-time address from the Oval Office, calling on the nation “to lower the temperature in our politics” after the attempted assassination of Trump.
“All of us now face a time of testing as the election approaches,” Biden said. “There is no place in America for this kind of violence — for any violence. Ever. Period. No exception. We can’t allow this violence to be normalized.”
In his short six-minute address, he assured Americans that he had talked to Trump and his doctors and that Trump was recovering well after a bullet grazed his ear.
Trump later said that he appreciated a call he received from Biden, calling it “fine” and “very nice.”
