President Joe Biden is set to address the nation at 1:30 p.m. ET today after receiving an updated briefing on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. This will be the second time Biden has spoken publicly since the incident.
During a brief televised address last night, Biden condemned the shooting and all forms of political violence, emphasizing the importance of national unity in such challenging times.
Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Biden had a 'short and respectful' phone call with Trump on Saturday night following the incident. The president, who was in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, at the time of the shooting, returned to the White House late Saturday to receive an updated briefing from Homeland Security and law enforcement officials this morning in the Situation Room.
As the nation awaits Biden's address, there is a sense of anticipation and concern regarding the recent events and the implications they may have on the political landscape. The attempted assassination has sparked discussions about the need for increased security measures and a renewed focus on addressing political tensions in the country.
Stay tuned for President Biden's remarks as he addresses the nation in the wake of this alarming incident and shares his perspective on the path forward for the United States.
