In his first major campaign event of 2024, President Joe Biden on Friday, the eve of the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, delivered a speech near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to argue democracy and fundamental freedoms are under threat if former President Donald Trump returns to the White House.
The president was closely involved in writing the speech, aides told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce, after he met this week with historians and scholars at the White House, and is expected to say that Trump and far-right extremists are a threat and a danger to the freedoms on which the country was founded, echoing familiar themes he argued during the 2020 campaign, which he called "a danger to the freedoms on which the country was founded, echoing familiar themes he argued during the 2020 campaign, which he called "a battle for the soul of the nation."
"Today we are here to answer the most important of questions: Is democracy still America's sacred cause? This is not rhetorical, academic, or hypothetical. Whether democracy's still America's 'sacred cause' is the most urgent question of our time. And it's what the 2024 election is all about," he said.

Trump is a threat to democratcy.
Without Biden persecuting him Trump’s political career might be over. Instead he has been transformed into the USA’s Nelson Mandela.
It’s Biden who’s the threat. Everything he’s done has weakened the country.
He’s a traitor and should be treated as one.
What IS this obsession with constantly referring to ‘Democracy’?
Do they think their constituency is too ignorant to understand what a Republic is?
I fear that this incendiary rhetoric will compel an unstable person to take matters into their own hands.
Our biggest mistake was to underestimate Biden.
Giving a speech like this shows how DESPERATE he is and that he knows he is going to lose. Tell me, what kind of president who has accomplished so much feels it necessary to trash half the country if he’s been SO successful..if Biden has accomplished so much he should focus on that, but he cant because he hasn’t accomplished a damn thing other than being a disgusting FREAK and he knows it..so this is his last stand, this is his way of saying “I wont leave office, if Trump wins this election for the sake of democracy I wont leave” the best thing that biden can do for this nation is do everyone a favor and drop dead
Little tiny crowd yelling and screaming trying to pretend they are enthusiastic, it’s hysterical
* Ban, ban, ban, ban, ban everything in sight without legal authority.
* Non-existant southern border.
* Replace Americans with uneducated, diseased third-world people without our consent.
* Non-stop excoriation of patriotic Americans.
* Weaponizing DOJ
* Siccing the FBI on Catholics.
* Imprisoning J6 political prisoners for YEARS as a warning.
* Use of lawfare to destroy your opponent.
* Destroy our energy independence
* Buy votes by telling young Americans he will illegally forgive their student debt and by draining the SPR.
Who is the tyrant? NONE of these tyrannical things occurred while Donald Trump was president.
Yes and yes. Both for the constituency that actually did vote for Biden in 2020, and the constituency they may replace them with coming through our non existent border.
Democrats are using standard Marxist/Allinsky rules of accusing their opponents (us) of the crimes they are either committing or plan to commit.
I think this is their plan. Keep up this rhetoric until someone pops and then declare Marshall Law!!
Democrats have made it a frikking holiday. They have everything to gain by parading January 6 around like it’s worse than the Holocaust. They planned it from the start.
Stay frosty, this is a prelude to false flags.
Dictator Joe Potatus speaks.
Corrupt Senile does as Corrupt Senile says. An illegitimate imposter who stole an election and claims he is our leader.
Democracy = Communist Utopia
