Former President Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally. One person died protecting others. President Biden addressed the nation, urging unity and condemning political violence. The incident has disrupted the election campaign.

A biographical genre is a type of news that reports on the life and events of certain individuals, such as former President Donald Trump who was recently involved in an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania; President Joe Biden also addressed the nation during a primetime speech to call for unity and to denounce violence in the country.

The event happened when Trump, who was already considered the front-runner for the Republican nomination for the 2024 ticket, started his speech. The shooter, later ascertained to be Thomas Matthew Crooks aged 20 years, fired at Trump and hit him on the ear. Special agents from the Secret Service immediately escorted Trump out of the area while they killed the attacker.

The incident resulted in the death of a person and serious injuries to the two other individuals. Corey Comperatore, aged 50, a former firefighter perished and risked his life trying to protect his family from the attackers. The president earlier referred to Comperatore as a ‘hero’ during his address from the Oval Office.

During the speech, Biden urged the citizens of the United States to ‘turn the page’ and reduce the temperature of political incivility and violence. This is a statement that Biden made during his inauguration; ‘And so we must act, asserting boldly that no matter how great the cause, we do not harness our power against one another. ’

It is a matter of fact that the FBI is currently looking into the reason for Crooks’ actions. TNT limpet mines were said to have been discovered in his car and house. Still, the Secret Service has not disclosed more security enhancements that will be put in place for the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee where Trump is planned to formally receive the nomination.

The assassination attempt has disrupted the election campaign, and Biden has taken a step back from the negative ads against Trump. Certain of Trump’s Republican supporters have alleged that Biden has been fueling people’s concerns about Trump ‘s potential to reclaim the presidency, but these claims were not addressed by Biden in his speech.
