In response to an attempted assassination on Donald Trump in western Pennsylvania, U.S. President Joe Biden's reelection campaign has shifted its strategy, halting all verbal attacks on the former president to emphasize unity.

Biden's campaign promptly removed aggressive television ads and other political communications, including content highlighting Trump's felony conviction in New York.

On Sunday, Biden urged unity and condemned political violence in remarks from the White House, asking Americans to let the FBI conduct their investigation. He plans a national address to reinforce this message. Biden's campaign will contrast their positive vision with Trump's agenda over the coming weeks.
