(AP) — President Joe Biden said Saturday that “everybody must condemn” the suspected assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

Addressing the nation about two hours after the shooting, Biden said he was relieved that Trump is reportedly “doing well.”

He said he had been unable to reach Trump before his remarks, but the White House said he did speak to Trump several hours later.

Biden, speaking without a teleprompter, said he was waiting for additional information before formally calling the attack an attempted assassination on the former president.

“I have an opinion, but I don’t have any facts,” he told reporters, pledging to provide updates as he learns more.

Biden turned toward reporters with a serious look on his face but replied simply, “no,” before stepping into his motorcade.

They pointed in particular to a comment Biden made to donors on July 8, saying “it’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”. »
