Democrats Halt Campaign Attacks, Express Sympathy After Trump Shooting
Democratic leaders tabled their harsh criticism of Donald Trump and pulled their negative political attack ads in the wake of a deadly shooting that left the former president injured at a MAGA campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
“There is no place in America for this kind of violence,” President Joe Biden told reporters in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. “It’s sick, it’s sick.”
As Biden spoke, his campaign officials announced that they were pulling their attack ads targeting Trump after chaos rained down on the event and potentially changed the trajectory of the presidential campaign.
