Biden calls on US citizens after Trump attack for unity
simultaneously, 81-year-old Biden announced that he would address the nation on Sunday evening (local time). No information is known yet about the motives of the alleged shooter, Biden added and asked not to speculate about his motives or connections.
Previously, he had inquired about the investigation into the attack from the heads of the US FBI and the Secret Service. He postponed a Monday visit to Texas.
At a campaign rally in the small town of Butler in the US state of Pennsylvania on Saturday, shots were fired at former President Trump. The 78-year-old narrowly escaped an assassination attempt and sustained only a light injury to his right ear. The alleged shooter, a 20-year-old, was killed.
