Biden to address nation after Trump rally shooting: Watch live

President Joe Biden will address the nation Sunday afternoon after a Situation Room briefing about the apparent assassination attempt on his predecessor, Donald Trump.

News networks are expected to carry the statements live. The Whitehouse also is livestreaming on YouTube.

Biden quickly denounced the shooting and talked to Trump in its aftermath. The shooter was killed by law enforcement. One rally-goer, a firefighter, also was killed.

Biden’s planned remarks come after homeland security and law enforcement officials briefed the president, and as the White House continued to call for national unity and condemn the stunning act of violence.

Trump himself called for unity and national resilience, and aides said he was in “great spirts and doing well” after being injured. He is pushing ahead with plans to attend this week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where criticism of Biden and the Democrats is sure to be searing.

In the moments after the shooting, Biden’s reelection campaign said it was putting a hold on “all outbound communications and working to pull down our television ads as quickly as possible.” It was not clear how long the suspension would last.

Vice President Harris postponed a planned campaign trip to Florida on Tuesday, where she was to meet with Republican women voters in light of Saturday’s shooting, according to a campaign official.

Investigators are still in the early stages of determining what occurred and why.

Some Biden critics are calling out the president for telling donors on a private call July 8 that “it’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”

A person familiar with those remarks said Sunday that the president was trying to make the point that Trump had gotten away with a light public schedule after last month’s debate while the president himself faced intense scrutiny from many even within his own party for his dismal performance in the faceoff.
