By The FirstJoe Biden has had nothing on his official schedule since December 19th, prompting millions of Americans to ask: Where is the President?
His last public event was an appearance at the funeral of former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
The President is expected to deliver an address later today near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania to mark the third anniversary of the January 6 Capitol Riot.
From CBS News:
President Biden is speaking at a campaign event near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania on Friday to mark three years since supporters of then-President Donald Trump rioted at the U.S. Capitol.
Mr. Biden’s address is the first he’s giving this year.
It is becoming increasingly clear that he expects the former president to prevail in the GOP primaries and believes he will face his 2020 opponent again in the 2024 general election.
The Biden campaign says the president will give remarks “to mark the anniversary of Donald Trump trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the U.S. Capitol at his urging.”
Mr. Biden’s campaign says it will be sharpening its criticism of Trump, focusing the campaign’s messaging on the argument that Trump is a threat to democracy. It’s language Mr. Biden has long used and that formed the basis of his 2020 campaign. At the time, he referred to Trump as an “existential threat” to America — and that was long before the Jan. 6 Capitol assault.
