The president of United States, Joe Bidencalls again for national unity after the assassination attempt on Donald TrumpIn a new speech, this time from the Oval Office of the White House, the Democratic president has asked “cool” the political climate and resolve the differences “at the ballot box, not with bullets”.

“In United States, We resolve our differences at the polls“This is how we do it, at the ballot box, not with bullets,” Biden said, adding that “the power to change America must always be in the hands of the people, not a would-be assassin.” “The path forward through opposing campaign visions must be resolved peacefully, not through acts of violence,” he said.

This was what he said during a speech of just over six minutes that was broadcast by the main television channels and in which he did not offer any new details about the investigationof the attack on his predecessor. The president, on the other hand, has focused his speech on national unity and the rejection of violence and has argued that an event like this forces all Americans to “step back, take stock and see how to move forward from there.”

Thus, Biden has defended that the US “cannot” and “should not” enter the path of violence politics and has recalled that the North American country has already gone down that road before, citing the assault on the Capitol or the attack on husband by Nancy Pelosi.

“There is no place in America for this kind of violencefor any kind of violence. Ever. Period. No exceptions. We cannot allow this violence to become normalized. The political climate in this country has become very heated. It is time to cool it down. We all have a responsibility to do so,” he said, as I already did it shortly after the attack against Trump and also this Sunday, in the appearance he offered from the Roosevelt Room, in which he announced a independent investigation of what happened.

Thus, despite the “deep and strong disagreements” between the two major parties and the “much that is at stake in these elections” that the North American country will hold next November, Biden has insisted on the importance of the discrepancies being resolved through debates and words, without violence. “Disagreements are inevitable. It is part of human nature, but Politics should never be a battlefield and, God forbid, a killing field,” he stressed.

“Politics should be a space for peaceful debate, for seeking justice, for making decisions guided by the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Let us defend an America not of extremism and rage, but of decency and grace“, has asked.

As Biden was giving this speech, Trump arrived in Milwaukeein Wisconsin, where the Republican National Convention that will certify his candidacy for the presidential elections begins on Monday. The former president was slightly injured in his ear right after that a bullet grazed him in the attack, which ended with the death of one of the attendees at a rally he was holding at the time in Butler, Pennsylvania, and with two others injured, who have been hospitalized.

The attacker, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks20 years old, was shot down moments later by a Secret Service sniper on the roof from which he fired the shots. The FBI is now investigating the motives that led him to carry out the attack on Trump, which it considers a case of domestic terrorism and in which he had apparently acted alone.
