Just two weeks before becoming the United States President, Mr. Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. observed the 6th JAN Capitol Insurrection on television from his residence in Delaware, horrified as the appalling images of the attack unfolded and shocked at the then-President Donald Trump’s reluctance to condemn it.

Twelve months later, he will mark that deadly day with an address designed to put into stark terms what the occurrence meant for a country still steeply divided over its significance, and to ensure his predecessor Donald Trump’s part in eroding the U.S. democracy. In his address from the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall on Thursday, according to the advisers, the President intends to touch upon his profoundly personal opinions of the attack on democracy and the hallowed Capitol Hill building, where he spent about forty years during his time as a US senator.

Furthermore, Joe Biden, the US President, worked over the holidays to write and refine a speech that will be bluntly honest about the inducements and significance of the deadly riot, along with the threats to US democracy that still continue. According to officials, it’s a topic that drives Biden, but one that has not played a central part in his public plan. Moreover, he’s left inquiring about the attack to the United States Congress and made evident he wouldn’t interject into the DOJ’s prosecution of its committers.

Still, the 6th JAN attack has doggedly shadowed President Biden’s 1st-year in office. The riot failed to stop him from becoming the US President, but it has instead turned out to be a persistent reminder of the divisions he once pledged to heal and the tense political atmosphere in which he rules.

Biden Claims “I Don’t Think About Trump”

The U.S. leader has made efforts to bridge those splits by doing what he’s able to move on. Even as numerous Dems cautions of troubling steps taken countrywide that could potentially demoralize future elections, including installing stalwarts to Trump on election boards and amending election laws, the President spent his leading presidential year in office prioritizing other legislative fights, including COVID-19 relief, an infrastructure package and a large social and environmental spending bill that’s still on the way.

Conscious of not letting Mr. Trump to hijack his presidency, Mr. Biden has made it a practice not to cite his predecessor by name, though he still does occasionally. Recently, he claimed that he didn’t think about the former US President.

Ex-US President’s baseless assertions about the massive voter fraud and the attack continue to undermine the current US leader among GOPs countrywide. The latest NPR/Ipsos polling showed that 64 percent of US citizens believe American democracy is in crisis and at risk of failing.

On Jan. 5, the White House Press Secretary said that American President Biden would lay out the consequence of what happened at Capitol Hill and the singular responsibility former President Trump has for the confusion and carnage they saw. Also, he’ll push back on the lie spread by Mr. Trump and effort to mislead the US people and his own followers as well as distract from his part and what materialized.
