President Joe Biden admitted in an interview with NBC News on Monday that he regrets saying he wanted to target Republican nominee Donald Trump, emphasizing that his opponent’s rhetoric is more inflammatory. Despite this, President Biden cautioned that Trump still poses a threat to democratic institutions.
These comments from President Biden were made during a private call with donors last week as he worked to strengthen his struggling candidacy among key party demographics. He expressed frustration with the lack of scrutiny on Trump and vowed to focus on holding him accountable.
President Biden and his campaign are gearing up for a full return to campaigning after a brief pause following an attempted assassination on Trump. Criticism was unleashed after the announcement of Sen. J.D. Vance as Trump’s running mate, with President Biden stating that Vance mirrors Trump’s extreme positions.
President Biden underscored his commitment to keeping the spotlight on Trump’s actions and statements, pointing out that it is Trump who engages in divisive rhetoric. He raised concerns about the impact of such language on democracy and stressed the need to address these threats.
Despite the recent events, President Biden remains focused on his campaign efforts, including upcoming speeches and events in Nevada. He has not backed down in the face of challenges and continues to push forward with his agenda.
