President Joe Biden denounced former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy in a blistering speech marking a year since the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Against the background of Statuary Hall in the Capitol, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the nation on Thursday morning, a day of memorials."Our democracy held. We the people endured. We the people prevailed," Biden said of the day on which Congress certified his win in the 2020 election.
The president said he would not shrink from a fight for the country.
"I will defend this nation and allow no one to place a dagger at the throat of democracy," Biden said.
