Biden to mark Jan. 6 anniversary by warning the Big Lie remains

The president is planning a solemn address to mark the events of two years ago.

“Our democracy still stands on a knife’s edge: the forces that brought us to the brink on January 6th continue to work to undermine the basic pillars of our Republic [and] the radicalism of the Republican Party has not disappeared,” said Eddie Glaude, a professor at Princeton University who has met with Biden on the topic.

A year ago, Biden made the trip to the Capitol and delivered a forceful condemnation of Trump and his allies for holding “a dagger at the throat of America” by promoting lies about the election that spurred the violence in the very hall where he stood.

But internal polls show the issue resonated with voters — and the White House and Democrats have no plans to let go of it as they approach the runway of 2024.
