The White House will build on its condemnation of all types of political violence, including Biden's harsh criticism of the "unrest" caused by campus protests over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, sources close to Biden who requested anonymity told the agency.
Biden's advisers hoped to soften recent calls from some of his fellow Democrats and others to resign. Previously, the focus of Biden's presidential campaign had been on portraying Trump as a threat to democratic norms and an opponent of abortion in the United States.
"This changes everything," one of the president's representatives said of the assassination attempt on Trump.
He added that Joe Biden is trying to reduce the degree of anti-Trump sentiment in his campaign.
Biden's entourage said that pressure from Democratic congressmen on the 81-year-old Biden is expected to ease after the assassination attempt on Trump. Some Democrats in the House and Senate have publicly called on Biden to drop out of the race after his poor performance in the June debate.
