Jean-Pierre: We must stand together in the wake of an attempted assassination on the former president of the United States…we do not know the motive of the shooter yet, we don't know his opinions or affiliations, we don't know whether he had help or support, or if he communicated with anyone else…we urge that everyone avoid jumping to conclusions.

Reporter: With social media companies; I mean, terms like deep state have been one of the most viral terms over the weekend, on platforms like X, on META. Has there been any outreach to these companies from administration officials to try and stop the disinformation, or to cull it in any way?

Reporter: Does [Biden] regret anything that he has said in the course of this campaign about his republican rival, or anybody else in the political space? Does he plan to adjust his rhetoric, or is it just a call for other people to make change?

Jean-Pierre: What I will say is [Biden] has forcefully spoken out against violence. That is something that he has done over and over again…he feels strongly about the stakes of this campaign…he wants to bring the temperature down. He wants to lower the temperature.

Reporter: Senator J.D. Vance, who Donald Trump has just picked as his running mate, put out a message on social media Saturday, about two hours after the shooting, blaming [Biden's] rhetoric for the shooting. In fact, he said, 'that rhetoric led directly to President Trump's attempted assassination'. What's your response?

Jean-Pierre: I'm not going to politicize this moment. We are not going to politicize this moment. It is wrong to politicize this moment.
