President Biden launched his reelection campaign with a passionate speech attacking his main Republican rival, Donald Trump. In his address, Biden criticized Trump's inaction on January 6th as the most egregious dereliction of duty by a president. Three years after the insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol while Congress certified Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election, both President Biden and Vice President Harris marked the anniversary with separate events.
Vice President Harris traveled to South Carolina, a critical state in the Democratic primary, where she highlighted the threats posed to American democracy and freedom. She warned that while progress was being made, there were forces attempting to push the country backward. President Biden also plans to visit South Carolina, where he will highlight his efforts to condemn political violence, specifically referencing the mass shooting at Mother Emanuel Church in 2015.
