Original review summary

The review says The Lincoln Project used a video in which Trump referred to Biden as “shot” to suggest he was calling for Biden’s assassination. It says that in the context of Trump’s full remarks, he meant Biden would have to step down because of mental deterioration if elected, and that Kamala Harris would become president.[S1]
