Following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the current President Joe Biden's campaign confirmed that the United States is experiencing a difficult moment. A source stated that the Biden campaign informed its staff during a phone call that America is going through a challenging time, according to CNN. Biden's campaign manager, Jen O'Malley Dillon, emphasized the need to reject violence, stating, "We all do this work because we believe in this country and the people of this country, and nobody wants to see this kind of violence toward anyone." She added, "Navigating through such a difficult time is doubly hard."
Additionally, the Democratic campaign has communicated to the Republican side their commitment to rejecting violence. An informed source reported that Democratic Party Chair Jaime Harrison confirmed to Republican National Committee Chair Michael Watley on Saturday the party's commitment to opposing political violence.
The Biden campaign finds itself in a sensitive and complex political phase following the assassination attempt on Trump. Senior campaign officials sent a memo to their staff shortly after the shooting on Saturday, urging them to "refrain from making any comments on social media or in public places," and they pulled their television ads.
