Donald Trump on Tuesday abruptly gave up his plan to deliver a press conference on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, leaving President Joe Biden to address a divided nation.
Trump's decision to ditch his planned press conference in Florida means Americans will be spared a split-screen moment on Thursday.
If it had gone ahead, Biden would have marked what he calls "one of the darkest days" in U.S. history, while Trump, just a few hours later, was expected to comment on the day as while while also referencing his claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
In a statement announcing the demise of his press conference, Trump again referenced his fraud contention, calling it "the Crime of the Century."
"In light of the total bias and dishonesty of the January 6th Unselect Committee of Democrats, two failed Republicans, and the Fake News Media, I am canceling the January 6th Press Conference at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday, and instead will discuss many of those important topics at my rally on Saturday, January 15th, in Arizona."

Good idea.Very good idea.
Brandon is so unpopular now, Brandon’s Jan 6 speech might backfire on him.
When your adversary is going down in flames and stench, don’t hose him off or allow the Media to focus on you to take the country’s eyes off the drooling pedophile.
Trump should just let the news cycle be about the cornovirus and Biden’s failure to stop the virus even though he said he has a “plan” to stop the virus during the campaign.
Agreed - let the Jan 6 committee clown show and the media go wild on January 6th. Trump will handed loads of material to riff on at his rally.
Good idea. Let the viewership of the Biden speech speak for itself.
I agree. It’s hard to believe what a crazy bubble the left lives in. They are completely insane and belong in a mental institution.
I wouldn't bet on it backfiring. What Freepers believe and what the politically apathetic in this country believe (which is probably a majority in the US) are not the same. Those individuals, if they get their news from anyone, will get it from the MSM.
November 3rd was the "the Crime of the Century."
I think Trump should work in the background for a while.
The Left is all January 6 all the time. It’s literally all they can talk about. MSNBC would have you believe that all Republicans are about to arrested and put in prison. Any Trump groups planning any sort of IRL activity are likely traps.
Yep. I trust that Trump made the decision on his own with excellent advice. As much as I’d like to see him say, “OJ killed more people than the Jan 6 ‘riots’” it would make him unelectable in 2024 and jeopardize the gridlock we’re hoping for after the 2022 elections.
I heard the lil’ Fuehrer, Adolf Garland will be doing a speech in the beer tent.
Absolutlely, that was the Great Crime of 2020.
I have accepted the so called results, just to move on,
but I’m still not over the shock, and probably never will be.
Joe Biden didn’t steal that election by himself, he had help, lots and LOTS OF HELP FROM BOTH PARTIES.
That highly orchestrated steal remains the sick elephant in the room that no party leader wants to seriously discuss.
DITTO
It’s all they HAVE to gripe about.
Repubs don’t do “rioting”….or even protesting…as a rule. First time I ever noticed any real efforts was with TEA Party. Meanwhile commies go hog wild over every grievance and get away with it.
Commie Dems LOVE this opportunity to beat on Repubs. Problem is, it’s only one thing. People have to notice they can’t come up with something else to accuse Repubs being “terrorists”.
Good move. Biden thinks it’s 2020.
Let’s scream that from the rooftops
The SOBs stole the election and are now persecuting violently anyone who accuses them of that
