Potential Vice-President candidate Vance: Biden's rhetoric led directly to the shootings
The central premise of Biden's campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs," wrote Vance and added: "This rhetoric led directly to the attempted assassination of President Trump."
At a campaign rally for the designated Republican presidential candidate Trump in the small town of Butler on a Saturday, shots were fired. According to his own statements, Trump was shot in the ear, but his campaign team stated that he was doing "well". One spectator died and two others were seriously injured, according to the Secret Service. The alleged shooter was reportedly killed.
The incident caused shock in the US and internationally. Following Biden, numerous politicians condemned politically motivated violence. The shootings could further inflame the existing tensions in the divided country before the US Presidential Election on November 5.
