Acting Secret Service Director Ronald L. Rowe Jr. will remain in Florida "indefinitely" after Sunday's assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, CNN reported.
Rowe will reportedly meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Monday after a visit to the scene of the shooting at Trump International Golf Club.
President Joe Biden, speaking at the National HBCU Week Conference, said Rowe, is in Florida "determining whether any further adjustments need to be made to ensure the safety of our former president."
Biden also said there is "no place for political violence in America — none. Zero. … In America, we resolve our differences peacefully at the ballot box, not at the end of a gun."
The president added that assassination "solves nothing. It just tears the country apart. We must do everything we can to prevent it and never give it any oxygen."
Local authorities said the U.S. Secret Service agents protecting Trump on Sunday fired at a man pointing an AK-style rifle with a scope as Trump was playing on one of his Florida golf courses in West Palm Beach.
