Biden Calls for End to Political Violence in High-Stakes NBC Interview

In a high-stakes interview with NBC, President Joe Biden condemned political violence and discussed the recent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Biden acknowledged his mistake in using the phrase 'put Trump in a bull's-eye' but defended his descriptions of Trump as a threat to democracy.

He emphasized that it is Trump, not him, who engages in incendiary rhetoric. Biden expressed concern about the impact of such rhetoric on democracy and questioned whether it incites violence.

The interview took place as Biden's re-election team prepared to resume campaigning after the assassination attempt on Trump. Biden canceled a planned speech at the Lyndon B Johnson library and recalibrated some of his political plans.

Despite calls from some Democrats to step aside, Biden remains determined to stay in the race and has been operating as such. The interview aims to stabilize his campaign after a disastrous debate performance and doubts about his candidacy.

It comes amid the Republican National Convention and heightened concerns about political violence.
