After Trump assassination attempt, Biden says a bullet ‘solves nothing’

Published



President Joe Biden condemned political violence after Donald Trump survived a second assassination attempt as the former president cast blame on him and Vice President Kamala Harris for the foiled plot.

“In America, there is no place for political violence,” Biden told the National HBCU Week Conference Monday afternoon in Philadelphia. “In America, we resolve our differences peacefully at the ballot box, not at the end of a gun. America’s suffered too many times the tragedy of an assassin’s bullet. It solves nothing. It just tears the country apart. We must do everything we can to prevent it and never give it any oxygen.”
