WASHINGTON, Jan 6 — President Joe Biden today accused his predecessor Donald Trump of posing a continuing threat to American democracy in a speech on the anniversary of the deadly US Capitol attack by Trump supporters who tried to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
But Democrats, a handful of Republicans and many independent observers have warned that the damage done by Trump’s efforts to undermine faith in the election he lost to Biden lingers on. Accusing Trump of seeking to perpetuate a “big lie,” Biden said there is a “battle for the soul of America” and a struggle at home and abroad between the forces of democracy and autocracy.
One of the officers at the scene, Sergeant Harry Dunn of the Capitol Police, said the attack took an emotional toll. Many Senate Republicans planned to be out of state attending the funeral of former Republican Senator Johnny Isakson.Some observers say they worry Trump’s false claims could make it less likely that future transfers of power in America will be peaceful - especially those involving closer margins than the 2020 election, which Biden won by 7 million votes nationwide.
Trump’s main fundraising committee had US$90 million in the bank at the end of June, while another account had US$7.7 million, according to public filings.
