US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are "relieved" to know that Republican candidate Donald Trump is safe, the White House said on Sunday, after his campaign team reported gunshots were fired in his vicinity.
"The president and vice president have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing.
They are relieved to know that he is safe," the White House said in a statement.
Harris condemned political violence on Sunday after shots were fired near Donald Trump, her Republican rival in November's election.
"I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe," the Democrat said. "Violence has no place in America."
