When asked whether his plans had changed in recent days, the 81-year-old answered with a decisive “no” in a television interview with NBC News on Monday evening. Journalist Lester Holt also asked Biden who he listens to when it comes to this very personal decision. He replied: “Me.”
He added: “I’m old, but only three years older than Trump.” His mental acuity is “damn good.” He has “accomplished more in three and a half years than any other president has in a long, long time.”
When asked whether he would be open to another debate against Trump to correct the performance of the first one, possibly in the next few weeks, the Democrat replied: “I will debate him as we agreed – I will debate him in September.”
In the interview, he also responded to criticism for using the image of a target in connection with Trump. He said it was a mistake to use the term “bullseye.” “Bullseye” refers to the center of a target. Several critics have accused Biden of using his choice of words to inflame anti-Trump sentiment.
According to a Politico report, a few days before the assassination attempt on Trump, Biden said in a private phone call with donors that it was time to put Trump in the “bullseye,” or rather, to target him. Biden is unclear how the attempted assassination on Trump will affect the course of the presidential election in November. In an interview with NBC, the US president said he was not sure about the impact of Saturday’s assassination attempt. “I don’t know, and you don’t know either.”
