Biden says politics can never become a 'killing field' after Trump rally shooting
President Joe Biden spoke directly to the nation Sunday, saying the political landscape cannot be a "killing field" after the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump Saturday.
"Disagreement is inevitable in American democracy," Biden said, adding, "It’s part of human nature."
"But politics must never be a literal battlefield or God forbid, a killing field," Biden continued.
"I believe politics ought to be an arena for peaceful debate, to pursue justice, to make decisions guided by the Declaration of Independence and our constitution we stand for in America, not of extremism and fury, but of decency and grace," Biden added.
During his address, Biden said that he spoke on the phone with Trump following the attack and that he's "grateful" Trump was not seriously injured and doing well.
Biden ended his speech with a call for unity, saying, "Let's remember we are the United States of America."
"There is nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together," he added.
