Biden says ‘time to put Trump in the bulls-eye’ remark was a ‘mistake’

U.S. President Joe Biden told NBC News in an interview Monday that it was a “mistake” to say he wanted to put a “bull’s-eye” on Republican nominee Donald Trump, but argued that the rhetoric from his opponent was more incendiary while warning that Trump remained a threat to democratic institutions. “It was a mistake to use the word,” Biden said. “I meant [to] focus on him. Focus on what he’s doing. Focus on his policies. Focus on the number of lies he told in the debate.”
