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.

    You didn’t answer my question: How is a system where 4 out of 10 people go into debt just to get the care they need “very good” or “affordable?”

      “very good and affordable for the vast majority of Americans”

      It’s good for the 6 in 10.

        You have a very odd definition of ‘vast majority.’

            I doubt most people would consider a bit more than half to be ‘vast majority,’ but you do you.
