President Joe Biden, who had once hoped for a second term at the White House, focused on history as the certification of President-elect Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory took place on Capitol Hill. Biden expressed concerns that the insurrection on Capitol Hill four years ago, fueled by Trump’s refusal to accept the 2020 election results, may be rewritten or forgotten in history.
A senior Biden adviser mentioned that there has been an attempt to whitewash the events of the insurrection, and Biden is determined to ensure that the true narrative is preserved while also facilitating a peaceful transfer of power and successful transition.
