President Joe Biden, who had once hoped for a second term at the White House, focused on history as the certification of President-elect Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory took place on Capitol Hill. Biden expressed concerns that the insurrection on Capitol Hill four years ago, fueled by Trump’s refusal to accept the 2020 election results, may be rewritten or forgotten in history.
A senior Biden adviser mentioned that there has been an attempt to whitewash the events of the insurrection, and Biden is determined to ensure that the true narrative is preserved while also facilitating a peaceful transfer of power and successful transition.
Throughout his presidency and the 2024 campaign, Biden consistently warned about the threat Trump poses to democracy. Despite dropping out of the race, Biden has maintained a relatively low public profile. In a recent statement to reporters, Biden emphasized that Trump's actions posed a genuine threat to democracy but expressed hope that the nation has moved past that tumultuous period.
A senior Democrat close to the White House revealed that Biden believes he would have defeated Trump had he not withdrawn from the campaign last summer. Biden's commitment to upholding democratic values and preserving the integrity of historical events remains steadfast as he navigates the complexities of post-election dynamics.
