Biden Stands by Labeling Trump a Democracy Threat

President Joe Biden defended his characterization of Donald Trump as a threat to democracy in his first interview since the assassination attempt on Trump. Biden acknowledged it was a mistake to use the phrase "put Trump in a bullseye" during a private donor call but emphasized the need to focus on Trump's policies and false statements. The attack at a Pennsylvania rally left Trump injured and resulted in one death and two critical injuries. Biden called for Americans to "lower the temperature" of political rhetoric, while Republicans blamed Democratic rhetoric for inciting the attack.
