Trump had repeatedly vowed never to concede to Biden, backed dozens of failed lawsuits and flooded his Twitter account with baseless claims of voter fraud. It will falter and fail."Ī year ago, Trump encouraged thousands of his supporters at a rally outside the White House to march to the Capitol to protest the confirmation of Biden as the next president. "The fragility of democracy is this, that if we are not vigilant, if we do not defend it, democracy simply will not stand. "On January 6th, we all saw what our nation would look like if the forces who seek to dismantle our democracy are successful: The lawlessness, the violence, the chaos," she will say, according to advance excerpts released by the White House. Vice President Kamala Harris will make a brief address before introducing Biden. "President Biden has, of course, spoken repeatedly about how the former president abused his office, undermined the Constitution, and ignored his oath to the American people in an effort to amass more power for himself," Psaki said.
When asked if Biden plans to name former President Donald Trump during the speech, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday that details of the address were still being finalized. The way forward is to recognize the truth and to live by it," Biden will say. "We cannot allow ourselves to be that kind of nation. "Are we going to be a nation that accepts political violence as a norm? Are we going to be a nation where we allow partisan election officials to overturn the legally expressed will of the people? Are we going to be a nation that lives not by the light of the truth but in the shadow of lies?" Biden is expected to say during his speech. Speaking from the Capitol's National Statuary Hall, Biden is expected to give a somber speech emphasizing the dangers posed to the nation's two-century-old democracy.
