The race for President and President Biden today in the
first major speech of his re election campaign,
arguing that Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy.
Here's Rachel Scott.
Tonight, in his first major speech of the election year,
President Biden made the case Donald Trump is an existential
threat to our democracy.
It's the first national election since January 6th.
Insurrection placed a dagger at the throat of American democracy
since that moment.
We all know who Donald Trump is.
The question we have to answer is who are we?
That's what's at stake. Who are we?
Biden traveling to Valley Forge,
PA, invoking George Washington's words to his troops at the
dawn of the American Revolution.
A sacred 'cause. That was the phrase he used.
A sacred.
Freedom. Liberty, Democracy. Today, we're here to answer the most
important of questions.
Is democracy still America's sacred cause?
Biden accusing Trump of using violence to cling to power.
Trump exhausted every legal Ave.
available to him to overturn the election.
Everyone.
But the legal path just took Trump back to the
truth.
That I had won the election and he was a
loser.
The president reminded Americans what Trump told that crowd on
January 6th.
He told the crowd to fight like hell,
and all hell was unleashed.
The whole world watched in disbelief.
And Trump did. Nothing was among the worst derelictions of
duty by a president in American history,
the president warning that Trump wins re-election.
The worst could be yet to come.
Trump's not concerned about your future,
I promise you.
Trump is now promising a full scale campaign of revenge
and retribution.
His words for some years to come.
Donald Trump responding to President Biden's speech tonight,
calling it pathetic and fear mongering,
still pushing those false claims about the 2020 election.
The former president is now on a swing throughout Iowa,
but the caucuses just 10 days away.
David, 10 days until Iowa.
Rachel, thank you.
