President Biden emphasized the need to end political violence during an NBC interview, where he admitted that his ‘bullseye’ comment about former President Trump was a mistake. He described his conversation with Trump following the assassination attempt as cordial, expressing concern for his well-being. Biden also discussed Trump’s choice of Sen. J.D. Vance as his vice presidential pick, calling him a clone of Trump on the issues. The president reaffirmed his confidence in the Secret Service after the incident, stating that he feels safe with them. Despite the challenges he faces, Biden remains committed to running for the 2024 election to finish the job he started.
The network confirmed that the pre-recorded interview was presented in its original, unedited form.
