President Joe Biden spoke with Donald Trump on Saturday (13) after the shooting at the former president’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the White House said.
Biden also spoke with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Butler Mayor Bob Dandoy.
“This evening, the President will return to Washington, DC. Tomorrow morning at the White House, he will receive an update from Homeland Security and law enforcement officials,” a White House official said in a statement.
In a speech, Biden said that “everyone” should condemn the act against Trump.
“The bottom line is that the Trump rally should have been conducted peacefully, without any trouble. But the idea that there is political violence or violence like this in America is simply unheard of, it is simply not appropriate,” Biden said in a news conference in Delaware.
“Everyone must condemn him. Everyone,” he added.
According to the president, “all federal government agencies” are investigating the matter and sending reports on the latest developments.
The Democrat also said he has “an opinion” on whether the shooting at former President Donald Trump’s Pennsylvania rally was an assassination attempt, but that he did not have enough facts to comment.
