President Biden continued to argue that Donald Trump is a danger to democracy just one day after calling for Americans to “lower the temperature in our politics” following the assassination attempt on Trump.
During a sit-down interview with NBC’s Lester Holt at the White House, Biden emphasized the importance of addressing policy issues that relate to democracy and criticized Trump for his divisive rhetoric. The interview took place just days after Trump was targeted in an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Despite calling for unity and urging Americans to come together, Biden did not shy away from highlighting what he perceived as Trump’s inflammatory comments and divisive behavior. He pointed to Trump’s response to the attack on Paul Pelosi in 2022 and criticized the former president for continuing to reference the incident in his rallies.
When pressed by Holt on his efforts to lower the political temperature, Biden insisted that he was working towards unity but stressed the need to address threats to democracy. He specifically called out Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election and the loyalty pledge demanded from his supporters.
As questions about his mental fitness for the job continue to dominate the national conversation, Biden remains steadfast in his criticism of Trump and his impact on the country. Despite calls for him to stand down, Biden is determined to address the challenges facing the nation and work towards a more united future.
