Violence in the election campaign: Biden warns of escalation and calls for agreement

Trump attack: Biden calls America to unity

Washington/Milwaukee (dpa)-In a moving speech from the Oval Office, US President Joe Biden warned of political violence in the election campaign after the shocking attack on Donald Trump. Biden emphasized that disagreements should be solved peacefully at the ballot box and not by violence.

The political debate in the country has been overheated and it was time to calm them down. Biden appealed to the responsibility of each individual to recognize violence as an unacceptable solution. Trump himself landed one day after the attack in Pennsylvania in Wisconsin to be officially nominated as a presidential candidate.

unit in diversity

In an emotional speech, Biden asked the Americans to step out of their filter bubbles and also listen to opinions that do not correspond to their own. He warned of misinformation and foreign influences that could increase the division in the country. The unity and respect for each other are more important than ever, according to the president.

security as the top priority

After the assassination attempt, the question of the security of political events arises. Biden announced an independent investigation to clarify the circumstances of the attack. The authorities are instructed to use all available funds to ensure security at future events.

violent clashes in the USA

The attack on Trump is another sad climax in a series of violent incidents in the United States. The storm on the Capitol already showed the country split at the beginning of the year. Biden emphasized that democracy could only work if violence has no place and the ballot box is used as a means of expression.

nomination party conference under special observation

The Republican's nomination party conference, on which Trump is to be officially nominated, is under special observation. The security measures were tightened before the assassination attempt, and the authorities are now examining whether further measures are required. The political mood in the United States remains tense, and the willingness to violence seems to increase.
