Biden gave the first speech of his presidential campaign in Pennsylvania on Friday.
President of the United States Joe Biden has started his presidential campaign by giving his first campaign speech.
Biden said in a speech in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania on Friday that the former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is willing to sacrifice democracy to gain power.
– Donald Trump’s election campaign is obsessed with the past. He is willing to sacrifice our democracy, to put himself in power, Biden said.
Biden accused Trump of inciting the violence at the Capitol in the capital Washington in the epiphany of 2021 and made the political violence that flared up at the time the focus of his re-election campaign.
He also said that Trump’s supporters not only cherish political violence, but it is also a laughing stock for them.
In Biden’s opinion, Trump’s re-election campaign is based on an attempt to seek revenge and punishment for those who have stood in the way of Trump’s re-election.
He also pointed out that Trump’s way of calling his opponents “cancers” is similar to the language used in Nazi Germany. According to Biden, Trump also says that the blood of the United States has been poisoned.
– How dare he? Who on earth does he think he is, Biden said.
Biden: A vote for Trump is a vote for a dictatorship
Biden vowed to make defense, security and the preservation of democracy his central election promise. He also implied that voting for Trump also means voting for a dictatorship.
The Republican primary candidates challenging Trump have mostly tried to avoid the 2021 epiphany events criticized by Trump. According to the news agency Reuters, current opinion polls show that Republican voters do not consider Trump to be responsible for the takeover of Congress as likely as they did three years ago.
Before Biden’s speech, Trump’s election campaign published an election ad in which Biden was accused of being “the real destroyer of democracy”. The ad quoted the special prosecutor Jack Smith’s criminal investigation into Trump’s actions in Washington on January 6, 2021.
On Saturday, it will be exactly three years since Trump’s supporters, who lost the election, stormed the Congressional Capitol building in the capital, Washington, and tried to prevent Biden’s election victory from being confirmed.
