Protecting democracy is a top issue for voters but they're divided on trust.
Biden-Trump debate: 'Threats to democracy,' Jan. 6 could take center stageIn September 2020, as Joe Biden and Donald Trump debated for the first time, moderator Chris Wallace asked how they would reassure Americans the next president would be the legitimate winner that November.Here's what to expect from Thursday's Biden-Trump debate.
Protecting democracy is an animating theme of Biden's reelection bid, as his team paints Trump as an existential threat to the country's founding principles and the upcoming election as a battle for the nation's "soul." "American democracy asks the hardest things: to believe that we're part of something bigger than ourselves," Biden said. "So, democracy begins with each of us."
At the same time, he continues to make his relentless, false claims of fraud in the 2020 election. His assertions have been debunked by his own administration officials, including former Attorney General Bill Barr. "I'm being indicted for you," he said this past weekend at the Faith and Freedom Coalition's conference in Washington. "Never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom. They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you."
