Biden Condemns Threats to Democracy, But Questions Remain on Preventing Another January 6
-
Biden warns democracy is under threat from Trump and his supporters, but questions remain if Biden acted swiftly enough to prevent another attack like Jan. 6.
-
Hundreds have been charged for the Jan. 6 attack, but the Justice Department took a long time to charge key conspirators and pursue Trump. The delays mean trials are now happening close to the 2024 election.
-
Biden has given speeches condemning the attack and Trump's rhetoric, but mostly at political rallies. He is now giving more high profile speeches to reach voters who haven't been paying close attention.
-
Polls show while people worry about threats to democracy, they disagree on whether the threats come from Democrats or Republicans. Reaching moderate independent voters will be key for Biden.
-
Pence refused to go along with Trump’s plan to overturn the election on Jan. 6. New legislation has clarified the ceremonial role of the VP in counting electoral college votes to prevent future abuse.
