President Joe Biden delivered a formal address from the White House Oval Office urging Americans to reduce political tensions following an attempted assassination of his Republican rival, Donald Trump, at a rally in Pennsylvania. Biden emphasized the need to resolve differences at the ballot box, not through violence, and called for cooler political rhetoric. This address, which was his third major Oval Office speech since taking office, came just four months before the November 5 election, with Biden’s political future uncertain. He used the occasion to showcase the power of incumbency amid calls from some Democrats for him to step aside due to concerns about his age.
Biden recounted recent instances of political violence, including the January 6 Capitol attack and the assault on Paul Pelosi. He stressed that violence is never the answer and highlighted the importance of unity and calm. Biden’s campaign responded by suspending attacks on Trump and pausing political communications.
Trump also called for unity and a reduction in political hostility, aiming to bring the country together during his presidential campaign. Both leaders sought to address the nation’s deep political divisions in the wake of the shooting.
