'Recent polls have shown an overwhelming majority of Americans believe our democracy is at risk; that our democracy is under threat,' Biden said.
Biden delivered the speech at Union Station in Washington, D.C., just blocks from the U.S. Capitol where a mob of Trump supporters attempted to prevent certification of the 2020 presidential election on January 6, 2021.
President Joe Biden delivers remarks Wednesday on developing infrastructure jobs, in the East Room of the White House. In a national address later, the president warned that democracy is on the ballot next week.Instead, Biden said, there are candidates running for governor, Congress, state attorneys general and secretary of state seats who are following what he said is Trump's example of refusing to accept the results unless they are deemed the winner.
"Recent polls have shown an overwhelming majority of Americans believe our democracy is at risk; that our democracy is under threat," Biden said."They see that democracy is on the ballot this year." Trump has insisted he was the rightful winner of the 2020 presidential election, and that the vote was marked by widespread irregularities despite being contradicted by multiple courts, state audits and members of his own administration.
Since leaving office, Trump has maintained significant influence in the Republican Party and has campaigned for his chosen candidates in state GOP primaries.
