President Joe Biden voiced his concerns about the state of democracy in the United States during an interview aired on the main US Spanish-language TV network. When asked about the primary threat to freedom and democracy at home, Biden pointed directly at his Republican opponent, Donald Trump.
Referring to the events of January 6, 2021, when a mob stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the election results, Biden emphasized Trump’s role in inciting the violence. Trump’s continued support for those involved, whom he refers to as “patriots,” has become a focal point of his current election campaign.
Biden accuses Trump of posing the primary threat to US democracy due to his alleged role in inciting the Capitol riot, his ongoing support for those involved, and his divisive rhetoric.

Biden highlighted Trump’s apparent inaction during the Capitol riot, noting that Trump allegedly watched the events unfold for hours without intervening. Describing Trump’s rhetoric as damaging to the Constitution and suggestive of authoritarianism, Biden expressed his concern over the unprecedented nature of the situation.
Despite initial condemnation from some Republicans following the Capitol attack, Trump has regained significant influence within his party and remains a formidable opponent in the upcoming election, according to recent polls.
