President Joe Biden is set to deliver a speech at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to emphasize the defense of democracy and mark the anniversary of the January 6 insurrection. Framing the upcoming 2024 election as a pivotal moment for the nation's democratic foundations, Biden will contrast his leadership with that of Donald Trump, drawing parallels to George Washington's commitment to liberty and his decision to relinquish power. The speech is part of a broader strategy to remind voters of the events of January 6 and to address other key issues such as voting access, abortion rights, and economic fairness. Biden's itinerary also includes a visit to Mother Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina, highlighting his outreach to Black voters and the importance of the state in the Democratic primaries.

President Joe Biden has rescheduled his first campaign event of 2024 to January 5th at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, due to inclement weather. The event was initially set for January 6th, coinciding with the anniversary of the Capitol riot. Biden will discuss the stakes of the upcoming election, emphasizing democracy and freedom. The campaign is ramping up with staff hires and leadership teams in battleground states, with Pennsylvania being a focal point after a narrow 2020 victory. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will also visit South Carolina, a key state for garnering support from Black voters and other important constituencies. Harris is set to begin a reproductive freedoms tour later in the month. The campaign contrasts Biden's democratic values with the "anti-democratic, anti-freedom rhetoric and actions" of Trump and other GOP candidates.
