WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden accused former President Donald Trump, his likely rival in the 2024 presidential race, of sacrificing US democracy for power in a Pennsylvania speech marking the 3rd anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol.
Trump’s presidential campaign is “all regarding him, not the US,” President Biden said. He added the Trump is “willing to sacrifice our democracy” only to put himself in power.
Biden claimed, “Our presidential campaign is different and it is regarding the US. He added that his presidential campaign is about you, it is about every age and background that occupy this nation and it is about the future.
US Politics: Biden Accuses Trump of Sacrificing Democracy for Power
President Biden stated that the former President his supporters do not only embrace political violence, but they laugh on it. Biden said that Donald Trump has been using language reminiscent of Hitler’s Nazi Party.
Biden said that twice-impeached Trump had failed to stop the Capitol mob attack in 2021, and alleged the tycoon and his people of still embracing political violence ahead of the 2024 elections. President Biden said that Trump talks regarding the blood of US citizens being poisoned, echoing the same exact language used in Nazi Germany. Biden claimed that Trump’s campaign is obsessed with the past rather than future.
Trump’s willing to sacrifice US democracy, put himself in power,” President Biden said. Biden’s speech marked an aggressive start to the current year as he either trails or is neck and neck with Donald Trump — the person he beat in 2020 — in recent elections.

Donald Trump was impeached but acquitted over the January 6 attack. He now faces a criminal trial on charges of trying to overthrow the 2020 polls.
The US states of Maine and Colorado have also stopped him from standing in presidential primaries on the grounds that Trump had engaged in insurrection over the Capitol events. However, the former President has challenged both verdicts.
