U.S. President Joe Biden has condemned the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Trump was shot at during a campaign rally in Butler, where one person died as a result of the shooting and two others injured.
Reacting over the development, Biden said he believes Trump is doing well.
“There is no place in America for this kind of violence. It is sick. It is sick.
“That is one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. You cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this,” Biden said.
The president said Trump’s rally should have been able to take place peacefully, “without any problem.”
“But the idea, the idea that there’s political violence or violence in America like this is just unheard of,” he said.
When asked if this was an assassination attempt, Biden said: “I don’t know enough to. I have an opinion, but I don’t have any facts.
“So I want to make sure we have all the facts before I make any more comments”.
Meanwhile, the White House and an adviser to Trump have confirmed that Mr. Biden has spoken with the former president.
TNG reports the Secret Service has confirmed that Trump is safe after the shooting.
“I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.
“Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it,” Biden wrote via X.
