Sanders Asserts Trump Assassination Attempt Won’t Affect Biden’s Candidacy
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) declared that the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump will not influence President Biden’s candidacy. Sanders made his remarks during an interview with Kristen Welker on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
When Welker asked if the shooting would affect the debate around Biden’s fitness for the Democratic nomination, Sanders responded decisively. “No, I don’t,” he said. “I think President Biden is the strongest candidate the Democrats have.”
Originally, Sanders joined the program to discuss his New York Times op-ed. In the article, he urged Democrats to stop calling for Biden to drop out of the race and to end the internal conflicts he described as a “circular firing squad.”
Sanders did not mince words in condemning the assassination attempt. The incident occurred at a Trump campaign rally on Saturday evening in Pennsylvania. “What democracy is about, is not radical rhetoric,” Sanders emphasized. “What it is about is a serious discussion of where we are as a nation and how we go forward.”
During the interview, Welker reminded Sanders of a past incident involving his campaign. In 2017, a volunteer from Sanders’ campaign shot Republican Rep. Steve Scalise (La.) at a baseball practice. Sanders used the opportunity to underline his stance on political violence. “Politics should be kind of boring, you know?” he added, stressing the need for civility and meaningful dialogue.
President Biden also addressed the incident late Saturday, condemning the violence at the Trump rally. “Look, there’s no place in America for this kind of violence. It’s sick. It’s sick,” Biden said in a statement, expressing his dismay and reinforcing his call for peace.
The assassination attempt on Trump has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. Despite this, Sanders maintains that it will not derail Biden’s campaign or his chances of securing the Democratic nomination. Sanders’ firm stance highlights his confidence in Biden’s capabilities and the resilience of the Democratic campaign.
As the nation grapples with the implications of the recent violence, Sanders’ message remains clear. Political discourse should focus on substantial issues and the future of the country, not be overshadowed by acts of violence. With Biden and Sanders standing united against such extremism, the Democratic Party continues to project strength and resolve heading into the election season.
