Biden insists Trump 'dividing the country' amid calls for unity and lowering 'temperature' in politics

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.

"If you notice, what do I talk about with him?" Biden asked NBC’s Lester Holt during a sit-down interview at the White House. "A policy issue where he's dividing the country, a policy issues that relate to democracy."

Trump was hit as multiple shots were fired toward the stage from an elevated position near the outdoor venue where he was holding a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

Biden speaking on Sunday night had called for Americans to "lower the temperature in our politics" and "remember, while we may disagree, we are not enemies: We’re neighbors, we’re friends, coworkers, citizens, and, most importantly, we are fellow Americans. We must stand together."

But he continued to bring up what he considered some of Trump’s more inflammatory comments and remarked on Trump’s response to the attack on Paul Pelosi in 2022, which he continued to reference in his rallies throughout the past year.

Holt called out the president on his answers, noting that Biden didn’t sound like he wasn’t "turning down the heat," but Biden insisted "I'm turning it down."

Biden went on to clarify that what he meant was, "We have to stop the whole notion that there are certain things that are contrary to our democracy that we’re for."
