Posted by FOX Business Team ShareDeveloping Story Stock futures steadyU.S. stock futures were steady Sunday evening, with modest gains, after President Biden addressed the nation following the shooting of former President Donald Trump who survived with minor injuries at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

In his 8pm ET address, which lasted just about ten minutes, Biden urged the country to lower the temperature on what has become a fiercely divided nation over politics, while also wishing Trump good wishes and prayers.
