Trump Will Destroy U.S. Democracy, Biden Warns

US President Joe Biden is casting the 2024 election as one in which American democracy is at stake, using his first campaign event of the year to warn voters against returning his twice-impeached predecessor to the White House, as reported by David E. Rovela for Bloomberg News.

“Whether democracy is still America’s sacred cause is the most urgent question of our time,” Biden said near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, a village forever associated with George Washington and the Revolutionary War.

The speech was on the eve of the third anniversary of the deadly January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol by Donald Trump’s supporters. “It was on that day that we nearly lost America,” Biden said. “Lost it all.”

His remarks come as Trump, a defendant in four felony prosecutions in state and federal courts, has threatened to retaliate against his opponents and abuse power should he return to the Oval Office.

Biden’s remarks offered some of his sharpest warnings yet about the existential threat he says Trump poses to America, a message Biden is placing at the center of his reelection bid.
