On Saturday, President Joe Biden will deliver a speech on the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection, in which he will cast former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy. The speech is part of the Biden campaign’s efforts to highlight the stakes of the upcoming presidential election, which is shaping up to be a rematch of the 2020 contest.
The Biden campaign said the President will also be making a speech next week at the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. The church was the site of a 2015 shooting by a white supremacist, and Biden aims to draw a contrast with former President Donald Trump and the “anti-freedom agenda” of his “[Make America Great Again] apostles.”
On a call with reporters, Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler warned of the potential consequences of a Trump victory in November. Tyler said that if Trump wins, he “will use all of his power to systematically dismantle and destroy our democracy.”
The Biden campaign has been emphasizing the importance of the upcoming election, with Biden running on the same message he did four years ago: that the country is in a “battle for the soul of America.” Biden’s speeches this weekend and next are intended to remind voters of the consequences of a Trump victory, and to encourage them to make their voices heard in November.
