Former President Trump recently told an outlet that he has "completely" rewritten the speech that he planned to give at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee this week.

In a recent interview with the Washington Examiner's Salena Zito, Trump said that his new speech will focus on uniting Americans after Saturday's shocking events.

"The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger," Trump said. "Had this not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches...Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now."

Instead of focusing on attacking President Biden's policies, his new speech will reportedly aim to bring the country together.

"This is a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together," the former president explained. "The speech will be a lot different, a lot different than it would’ve been two days ago."

8 p.m.

President Joe Biden urged Americans to "lower the temperature in our politics" and condemned the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump. 

"We must never descend into violence," he said.
