Biden: No place in US for political violence

President Biden praised law enforcement for helping keep former President Trump safe during a shooting incident that investigators said "appears to be an attempted assassination" of the Republican presidential nominee on Sunday.

What he's saying: "I commend the work of the Secret Service and their law enforcement partners for their vigilance and their efforts to keep the former President and those around him safe," Biden said after being briefed on the shooting at Trump's golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

"As I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country, and I have directed my team to continue to ensure that Secret Service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former President's continued safety."
