Mr Biden’s speech is his first major campaign event of the 2024 election season

President Joe Biden marked the third anniversary of the January 6 attack on the Capitol by warning that the issue of American democracy will be “what the 2024 election is all about,” as he runs against former president Donald Trump once more.

Mr Biden, who spoke near the Valley Forge historical site where George Washington and the Continental Army were encamped during the winter of 1777 and 1778, told attendees that they were there “to answer the most important of questions: Is democracy still America’s sacred cause?”

“This isn’t rhetorical, academic, or hypothetical. Whether democracy is still America’s sacred cause is the most urgent question of our time,” he said.

Mr Biden said his speech, his first major event of the 2024 election season, was “deadly serious,” and about a topic that needed to be raised at the outset of his campaign.

    It does, but as a resident of the US I would like the “harm reduction” government I have to stop literally funding and using our military to protect a genocide

      And so you praise Putin. Gotcha. Not surprising from someone who is gleefully cheering on mass murder in this thread.

          Didn’t you just get upset at me ‘insulting’ you when I did no such thing?

                  I told you when I would answer your questions. All you have to do is prove that I support Palestinian genocide.

                    If you are planning to vote for the fucking democrats in November you’re rewarding them for providing military and material support (literally the ammunition) for a genocide.
