President Joe Biden has strongly condemned the violent act that occurred at Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Here is a summary of Biden’s statement:
“I’ve been fully briefed by various federal agencies on the situation. I’ve tried to reach out to Donald, who is currently with his doctors and seems to be in good health. It’s important to emphasize that there is no room for such violence in America. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, and we need to come together as a country to prevent it.
I extend my gratitude to the Secret Service and other agencies, including state authorities, for their swift response to the situation. More information on potential injuries among the audience will be shared as we gather details. If I’m unable to provide an update directly, we will issue a statement later. The essence is that the rally should have been peaceful, and any form of political violence is simply not tolerable. Everyone must denounce it. I’ll continue to monitor the situation, and if I manage to speak with Donald, I will inform you accordingly.”
During a subsequent question from a reporter regarding the shooting, Biden mentioned that he lacks adequate information to consider it an assassination attempt, emphasizing the need for factual accuracy before making any definitive statements.
The President highlighted the active involvement of federal agencies in the investigation and committed to keeping the public informed of any progress. It’s expected that as the investigation unfolds, there will be more updates and responses from various political leaders.
