A top campaign official for President Joe Biden said that the rhetoric around former President Donald Trump "hasn't changed" after his assassination attempt.

"I would say that we've been focused on talking about the issues, reproductive freedom, workers rights, Social Security, Medicare, the economy, a fair tax code," said Biden Principal Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks.

"The president and the vice president have been very clear on their vision when it comes to the agenda that they want to put forward for Americans. Our campaign has been talking about that for months since the reelection was announced. And we're going to continue to do so as the president said," Fulks said at a press conference Tuesday.

"This is how democracy works. We're going to continue to have a candid conversation about the stark contrast." Fulks added that "there are two very, very different, visions for this country" on the 2024 ballot.

The press conference came on the second day of the Republican National Convention (RNC), where Trump was officially named the 2024 GOP nominee alongside running mate Sen. JD Vance of Ohio on Monday.
