Biden to call for unity over Trump’s *********

President Joe Biden will address the ********* public after a Situation Room briefing about the apparent ************** attempt on his predecessor, Donald Trump.

Biden quickly denounced the ********* and talked to Trump in its aftermath.

His campaign team, meanwhile, is grappling with how to manage the political implications of an ******* on the man Biden hopes to defeat in the November election.

Biden’s planned remarks come after homeland security and law enforcement officials briefed the president, and as the White House continued to call for national unity and condemn the stunning act of *********.

Vice President Kamala Harris joined Biden for an update from top investigators, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Also participating were White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Kim Cheatle, director of the U.S. Secret Service.

Trump himself called for unity and national resilience, and aides said he was in “great spirts and doing well” after being injured during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

He is pushing ahead with plans to attend this week’s *********** National Convention in Milwaukee.

In the moments after the *********, Biden’s re-election campaign said it was putting a hold on “all outbound communications and working to pull down our television ads as quickly as possible.”

It was not clear how long the suspension would last.

Harris postponed a planned campaign trip to Florida on Tuesday, where she was to meet with *********** women voters, according to a campaign official.

Investigators are still in the early stages of determining what occurred and why.

But some Biden critics are calling out the president for telling donors on a private call July 8 that: “it’s time to put Trump in the bullseye”.

A person familiar with those remarks said Sunday that the president was trying to make the point that Trump had gotten away with a light public schedule after last month’s debate while the president himself faced intense scrutiny from many even within his own party for his dismal performance in the face-off.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to more freely discuss private conversations.

In the donor call, Biden said: “I have one job and that’s to beat Donald Trump … I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that”.

He continued: “So, we’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye. He’s gotten away with doing nothing for the last 10 days except ride around in his golf cart, bragging about scores he didn’t score … Anyway I won’t get into his golf game”.

In his initial response to the ********* on Saturday night, Biden condemned the attempt on Trump’s life.

The White House also said then that the two men spoke, but did not release details.

“Look, there’s no place in America for this kind of *********,” Biden said Saturday night, before hustling back to the White House from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where he had been spending the weekend.

“It’s *****. It’s *****. It’s one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this.”
