Screenshot of a Reuters article about Biden's campaign strategy; article has since been edited to make it sound less like political suicide, but original reads as follows: Biden campaign swaps Trump criticism for unity after shooting By Jarrett Renshaw and Nandita Bose July 14, 2024 2:51 PM EDT WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's reelection campaign quickly upended its strategy after an assassination attempt on Republican rival Donald Trump in western Pennsylvania, calling off verbal attacks on the former president to focus instead on a message of unity. Within hours of Saturday's shooting, Biden's campaign was pulling down television ads and suspending other political communications, including those that had highlighted Trump's May felony conviction in New York state court relating to hush money paid to a porn star to avert a sex scandal before the 2016 U.S. election. "We must unite as one nation," Biden said in White House remarks on Sunday, adding he would have an Oval Office address in the evening. Biden condemned political violence again, as he did on Saturday night, and asked Americans to "let the FBI do their job." Rather than verbally attacking Trump in the coming days, the White House and the Biden campaign will draw on the president's history of condemning all sorts of political violence including his sharp criticism of the "disorder" created by campus protests over the Israel-Gaza conflict, campaign officials said on condition of anonymity.
