'We can't allow this violence to be normalised. The political rhetoric of this country has gotten very heated. It's time to cool it down.'He said passions would run high on both sides and the stakes of the election were enormous.'We can do this,' Mr Biden implored, saying the nation was founded on a democracy that gave reason and balance a chance to prevail over brute force.'American democracy - where arguments are made in good faith.
