Biden campaign casts Trump as threat to democracy ahead of Jan. 6 speech
President Joe Biden will deliver a speech Saturday laying out the stakes of the 2024 election on the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, his campaign said.
President Joe Biden will cast former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy Saturday in a speech set to be delivered on the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection, the Biden campaign said this week.
The speech is expected to be a key component of the campaign’s efforts to highlight the stakes of the presidential election, one that’s shaping up to be a rematch of the 2020 contest.
On a call with reporters announcing Saturday's event, campaign officials used dire terms in warning against a potential Trump victory.
Communications director Michael Tyler said that if Trump wins in November, he "will use all of his power to systematically dismantle and destroy our democracy."
Campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez added, "Our message is clear, and it is simple: We are running a campaign like the fate of our democracy depends on it. Because it does."
