Mr Biden’s speech is his first major campaign event of the 2024 election season

President Joe Biden marked the third anniversary of the January 6 attack on the Capitol by warning that the issue of American democracy will be “what the 2024 election is all about,” as he runs against former president Donald Trump once more.

Mr Biden, who spoke near the Valley Forge historical site where George Washington and the Continental Army were encamped during the winter of 1777 and 1778, told attendees that they were there “to answer the most important of questions: Is democracy still America’s sacred cause?”

“This isn’t rhetorical, academic, or hypothetical. Whether democracy is still America’s sacred cause is the most urgent question of our time,” he said.

Mr Biden said his speech, his first major event of the 2024 election season, was “deadly serious,” and about a topic that needed to be raised at the outset of his campaign.

              I told you when I would answer your questions. All you have to do is prove that I support Palestinian genocide.

                If you are planning to vote for the fucking democrats in November you’re rewarding them for providing military and material support (literally the ammunition) for a genocide.

                  I plan to vote for whoever is most likely to win and least likely to turn the U.S. into a place where my queer daughter’s life is at risk.

                  Maybe you don’t care about queer kids and their lives. I do. Especially my daughter’s.

                    I’m trans, and I do fucking care about queer kids and our lives. Which is why I’m sick of terrible fucking allies that will use our persecution by our own fucking government to excuse THE SAME FUCKING GOVERNMENT using its military to enable a fucking genocide on the other side of the world.
