Biden says 'bullseye' remark was mistake, but that Trump is guilty of worse rhetoric
==========
President Biden admitted that his remark about putting Trump in the bullseye was a mistake, but he clarified that he meant the nation's focus should be on Trump and the threat to democracy he represents. Biden also pointed out that Trump has engaged in worse rhetoric, including making fun of and joking about the violent attack on Rep. Nancy Pelosi's husband. Biden defended himself by saying he was talking about focusing on Trump's actions, policies, and lies. He mentioned that he did not engage in the same rhetoric as his opponent and highlighted Trump's statements about a potential bloodbath if he loses and his willingness to forgive those involved in the Capitol attack. The interview with NBC's Lester Holt was conducted after the assassination attempt on Trump and drew political attention on the first day of the Republican National Convention. Biden has faced scrutiny about his age and competence following a poor debate performance, but he insisted that his mental acuity has been good and that he has accomplished more than any president in 3.5 years. He dismissed calls for him to drop out of the race and expressed confidence in defeating Trump in the election.
