“Taking aim at Trump”: Biden apologizes
US President Joe Biden remains committed to becoming the Democratic presidential candidate. When asked whether anything had changed in his plans in recent days, the 81-year-old replied with a firm "no" in a television interview on NBC News on Monday evening. But he also admitted he had made a mistake.
According to a Politico report, a few days before the assassination attempt on Trump, Biden had said in a private phone call with donors that it was time to put Trump in the "bullseye". Biden apologized for this formulation.
Critics: Biden stirred up sentiment against Trump
He described it as a mistake that he had used the term "bullseye". Several critics have accused Biden of inflaming the mood against Trump with his choice of words.

Attacks on Trump's running mate
