Biden Launches 2024 Bid with Stark Warning of Trump's Threat to Democracy

President Joe Biden launched his 2024 campaign with a speech in Pennsylvania, emphasizing the importance of democracy and directly attacking Donald Trump as a threat to the nation's democratic values. Biden drew historical parallels between George Washington's leadership and Trump's actions surrounding the January 6 Capitol attack, accusing Trump of sacrificing democracy for power. The speech aimed to remind Americans of the chaotic end to Trump's presidency and to rally Democrats, Independents, and mainstream Republicans against the dangers of extremism and election denialism. Biden's campaign ad further highlighted the urgency of defending democracy, while Trump continued to attack his political opponents and Biden's leadership.
