Washington. The White House denied yesterday that President Joe Biden and Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris are using rhetoric that threatens their Republican rival for the November elections, Donald Trump, as claimed after an apparent second assassination attempt against him on Sunday.

Harris later called the former Republican president to speak directly to him and express how grateful she is that he is safe.a senior White House official said. The conversation was cordial and briefhe added.
I told him what I have said publicly: there is no place for political violence in our country.Harris said in an interview. Trump, 78, believes that the suspect arrested Sunday in Florida for an alleged assassination attempt against him he believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and acted accordingly. According to him, Because of this rhetoric of the communist left, bullets are flying, and this will only get worse!
The tycoon attended an event yesterday in Flint, a city hit by the crisis in the automobile sector and sadly famous for a huge scandal involving lead contamination in drinking water.
At the rally, Trump insisted that Chinese automakers are building huge factories in Mexico, and during his visit to Michigan he promised to impose 200 percent tariffs on any vehicle leaving those factories and shipped to the United States.
Meanwhile, Harris condemned restrictive abortion laws following the publication of an article by ProPublica about the death of 28-year-old Amber Thurman in Georgia because she did not have a curettage in time.
