JAKARTA - United States President Joe Biden condemned the shooting of Donald Trump, praying for his rivals in the 2024 US Presidential Election.
Republican President Donald Trump's candidate for president has survived the shooting while campaigning in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
"There is no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as a nation to condemn it," he said in a statement.
Trump just started his speech when gunfire erupted and Trump and other campaign participants took refuge on the floor. Secret Service agents stormed him and Trump disappeared behind the podium for about a minute before he was rushed to a waiting vehicle.
When a shot was heard, Trump grabbed his right ear with his right hand, then lowered his hand to see him before kneeling behind the podium before the Secret Service agent stormed and covered him.
