President Biden said Sunday that “an assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation,” after former President Trump narrowly survived an attempt at his life at his rally, vowing to ensure the U.S. Secret Service provides him with “every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure his continued safety.”

Biden spoke from the Roosevelt Room at the White House. He is expected to address the nation Sunday night from the Oval Office.

“Last night, I spoke with Donald Trump. I’m sincerely grateful that he’s doing well and recovering. We had a short but good conversation. Jill and I are keeping him and his family in our prayers,” Biden said. “We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who was killed. He was a father. He was protecting his family from. The bullets are being fired. He lost his life. God love him.”

He added: “We’re also praying for the full recovery of those who were injured. And we’re grateful to the Secret Service agents and other law enforcement agencies and individuals who risked their lives literally for our nation.”

“As I said last night, there is no place in America for this kind of violence or any violence for that matter. An assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for it as a nation. Everything,” Biden said. “It’s not who we are as a nation. It’s not America. And we cannot allow this to happen.”

Biden said that “unity is the most elusive goal of all, but nothing is important than that right now.”

“Unity will debate and we’ll disagree. It’s not that’s not going to change, but it’s going to we’re going to not lose sight of who we are as Americans,” Biden said.

Biden stressed that the FBI is leading the investigation and said it is “still in its early stages.”

“We don’t yet have any information about the motive of the shooter. We know who he is,” Biden said, while adding: “I urge everyone, everyone, please don’t make assumptions about his motives or affiliations.”

“Let the FBI do their job and their partner agencies do their job. I’m instructed that this investigation be thorough and swift, and the investigators will have every resource they need to get this done,” Biden said.

Biden said that Trump, a former president and nominee of the Republican Party, “already received the heightened level of security.”

“And I’ve been consistent in, in my direction of the Secret Service to provide him with every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure his continued safety,” Biden said.

Biden also said he has “directed the head of the Secret Service to review all security measures for all security measures for the Republican National Convention, which is scheduled to start tomorrow.”

Biden also said he is “directing an independent review of the security at yesterday’s rally to assess exactly what happened, and we’ll share the results of that independent review with the American people as well.”

The president said he will speak further Sunday night.
