President Joe Biden on Sunday gave a speech from the Oval Office in which he condemned political violence that led to his opponent, Donald Trump, being grazed on the ear by a bullet on Saturday at a political rally.
Biden, who has been until recently facing more and more frequent calls from within his own party to drop out of the presidential race, may have turned a corner with the speech, according to onlookers.
“Violence has never been the answer,” a defiant Biden stated.
Former Republican lawmaker Adam Kinzinger, for instance, said the speech was a “Very good, and very important Oval Office address” by the president.
MSNBC columnist Michael A. Cohen said the speech was “excellent” and “both a plea for national unity and a clear political message that resonates with the themes of his re-election campaign.”
