President Biden said it was “a mistake” to say that he wanted to put Donald Trump back in “a bull’s-eye” but defended his descriptions of his rival in the 2024 election as a threat to the foundations of the nation’s democracy, the New York Times reports.

He added: “Do you just not say anything because it may incite somebody?”
