President Biden/Biden Administration:

Biden campaign casts Trump as threat to democracy ahead of speech on Jan. 6 anniversary

President Joe Biden will deliver a speech Saturday laying out the stakes of the 2024 election on the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, his campaign said.

President Joe Biden will cast former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy Saturday in a speech set to be delivered on the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection, the Biden campaign said this week.

The speech is expected to be a key component of the campaign’s efforts to highlight the stakes of the presidential election, one that’s shaping up to be a rematch of the 2020 contest.

On a call with reporters announcing Saturday’s event, campaign officials used dire terms in warning against a potential Trump victory.

Say Hello to Terd!:

Ron DeSantis’ is so desperate for a boost that his top campaign surrogate, also known as the “Surgeon General”who leads the FL Department of Health, is telling people not to use life-saving vaccines.
