Joe Biden Dials Down Attacks On Donald Trump After Rally Shooting

Just last week 81-year-old Joe Biden had tried to pivot his campaign back on to his rival Donald Trump, following weeks of turmoil in the Democratic Party over his age and health.
The assassination attempt on Donald Trump has forced Joe Biden's campaign to dial down its attacks for now, with the US president admitting he was wrong to say his rival should be put in the "bullseye."
But Biden has more broadly defended his rhetoric describing his Republican predecessor as a threat to democracy, and is signaling he will not hold back for long while criticizing the man he beat in 2020.
When Biden urged Americans to "lower the temperature" in a rare Oval Office speech on Sunday after the Trump shooting, it seemed it could deprive him of his core attack line.
