Biden’s first campaign speech makes 2024 all about Trump

President Biden on Friday delivered his first campaign speech of the year and framed the 2024 election as a fight to save American democracy and freedom from former President Donald Trump.

Mr. Biden spoke from a community college in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, about 15 miles from Valley Forge, where George Washington rallied the Continental Army to fight the British Empire nearly 250 years ago.

The remarks also came on the eve of the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, when a pro-Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to prevent Congress from certifying Mr. Biden’s election win.
