Today marks a historic day for the nation. President Joe Biden traveled to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania to deliver a powerful speech on the importance of democracy, and to take strong aim at the Trump administration’s approach to governance.
In the speech, Biden castigated the Trump administration’s attempts to undermine the Constitution and democracy itself. He spoke of how the former President’s rhetoric and actions have “fueled an attack on democratic institutions and values”. Citing the January 6th insurrection as “a testament to the fragility of our democracy,” Biden called the event a “failed insurrection aimed at overruling the power of the people and our constitution.”
Biden also warned against the dangers that come when politicians try to bend the law to suit their own needs and agenda. He warned that should the nation fall away from the rule of law, it can become an “oppressive nation”.
Biden concluded the speech by offering a challenge to the nation. He implored citizens to look beyond the “division and disorder” of the last four years, and to instead strive toward unity and progress. He stressed the importance of fostering respect for each other, for the rule of law, and for the Constitution – noting that, unlike the former administration, he believes that democracy will always prevail.
The speech in Valley Forge today was a powerful reminder of the importance of democracy and the rule of law, and a stern rebuke of the divisive and oppressive politics of the Trump administration. Biden’s message was clear; he will protect our nation’s Constitution, and stand up to those who would try to undermine it.
