evidence: President Joe Biden, who is facing calls from some Democratic leaders, various pundits, and much of the electorate to step aside, did the decent thing. In a statement, he expressed relief that Trump was safe and in good health: "I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally." Later, he appeared before reporters in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and insisted that "everybody must condemn" the "sick" attack on his opponent, adding that he hoped to reach "Donald" later by phone. Biden momentarily set aside his profound differences with Trump, and his firm belief that the election would decide fundamental questions about the future of the country and its essence. "We cannot allow for this to be happening," he said. Biden’s sole misstep was to add, "The idea that there’s political violence or violence in America like this is just unheard of." If only that were true.
