WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden's reelection campaign quickly upended its strategy after an assassination attempt on Republican rival Donald Trump in western Pennsylvania, calling off verbal attacks on the former president to focus instead on a message of unity.
Within hours of Saturday's shooting, Biden's campaign was pulling down television ads and suspending other political communications, including those that had highlighted Trump's May felony conviction in New York state court relating to hush money paid to a porn star to avert a sex scandal before the 2016 U.S. election.
