U.S. President Joe Biden accused Donald Trump, his potential rival in the 2024 presidential election, of sacrificing American democracy for power during a speech in Pennsylvania marking the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021 attacks on the Capitol. Biden stated that Trump's presidential campaign "is all about him, not about America." He said the former president "is willing to sacrifice our democracy" to put himself in power. He expressed that the upcoming elections "are a matter of whether democracy remains America's sacred issue."
