President Biden on Friday will mark the two-year anniversary of Jan. 6 with a solemn tribute. He’ll also deliver a warning: the threats that were exposed by the Jan. 6 select committee remain very much at large.
“An important focus of his remarks will be on recognizing Americans who showed courage and patriotism, who put themselves in danger on behalf of others and on behalf of our democracy,” said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre aboard Air Force One this week. “Jan. 6 was… one of the darkest days and sometimes [that] can lead to light and hope.”
The historians warned Biden that ignoring it would be dangerous and could allow violent rhetoric and election denialism to become considered normal aspects of the country’s politics. And they urged him to act, warning that how he responded to the challenges would inexorably become part of his legacy.
But senior Biden advisors saw private polling after the midterms that showed that, even if the Jan. 6 committee’s work didn’t move the needle much with voters, warnings about prominent election deniers – including several candidates for governor and state secretaries of state – did have a significant impact, according to two people familiar with the findings but not authorized to discuss internal documents.
“This speaker’s fight is about the same thing Jan. 6 was about,” said Pete Giangreco, a veteran Democratic consultant in Chicago. “It isn’t ideological. This is a group of people who don’t believe in American democracy, institutions or the idea of majority rule.”
