Democratic Rep. Greg Landsman of Ohio addressed the recent events surrounding an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, stating that it had shifted the focus of his conversations about President Joe Biden potentially stepping aside. When asked if he was prepared to advise President Biden to step down, Landsman emphasized that the attempted assassination had taken precedence in his discussions.

Landsman expressed that the incident had dominated his recent interactions and that he had shared his concerns with leadership. He indicated that the decision regarding Biden's future would be left to them and the President himself.

Previously, Landsman had hinted at the possibility of calling for Biden to withdraw, but he opted to consult with his constituents in Ohio before making a definitive statement on the matter. In his latest remarks, Landsman also criticized JD Vance, Trump's vice presidential pick, for his divisive language, which he believed contradicted Trump's message of unity.

Reflecting on Vance's rhetoric, Landsman highlighted the importance of avoiding incendiary language and promoting a message of unity, particularly in the political landscape. As a fellow Ohio native, Landsman expressed disappointment in Vance's approach and questioned the compatibility of such language with Trump's unity narrative.
