US President Joe Biden on Monday addressed the nation from the White House, where he condemned all political violence and called for unity, per CNBC. 

Biden further stated that “it’s time to cool it down” and noted not just the weekend attack on Trump but also the possibility of election-year violence on multiple fronts.

On Saturday, former president  Donald Trump was shot in the ear during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in an assassination attempt. One spectator was killed in the attack, two others were critically injured and Trump was pictured with blood spilling from his ear.
