In response to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden has called for the country to come together and unite as one nation. He expressed his concern over the incident and ordered an independent security review to investigate how such an attack could have occurred.

President Biden delivered brief remarks from the White House after being briefed on the ongoing investigation in the Situation Room. He emphasized the need for a thorough and swift review, urging the public not to jump to conclusions about the motives or affiliations of the shooter.

As a precautionary measure, President Biden has directed the U.S. Secret Service to review all security measures for the upcoming Republican National Convention, which is set to begin on Monday in Milwaukee. However, the Secret Service has stated that the attack on Trump did not prompt any changes to the agency's security plan for the event, and assured that they are fully prepared.

During his remarks, President Biden strongly condemned the assassination attempt, stating that it goes against the principles that America stands for as a nation. He emphasized the importance of unity, recognizing that it is a challenging goal but essential in the current circumstances.

President Biden also mentioned that he and First Lady Jill Biden are keeping Corey Comperatore's family in their prayers. Comperatore, a former fire chief, lost his life while protecting his family from the bullets during a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The president revealed that he had a brief yet positive conversation with former President Trump in the aftermath of the shootings. He expressed gratitude that Trump is doing well and recovering.

President Trump, who has been advocating for national resilience in the wake of the incident, took to social media after President Biden's remarks, urging America to unite.

Achieving unity may prove to be a challenging task, especially amidst the backdrop of a divisive presidential campaign. President Biden's team is now faced with the challenge of navigating the path forward following the attack on the very person he is running against in the upcoming election.

President Biden is scheduled to address the nation later in the evening with extended remarks from the Oval Office, highlighting the importance of unity during these trying times.
