In his first major campaign meeting in 2024, US President Joe Biden will attack challenger Donald Trump, writes ABC. During his speech in Pennsylvania tonight, he will deliver a message that states that democracy and basic freedoms are threatened if Trump is returned to power.
"The leading candidate for a major party in the United States is running for president so that he can systematically dismantle and destroy our democracy," Biden is expected to say, according to his communications director Michael Tyler.
There are now only ten days left until the primaries begin and Biden has been facing headwinds in public opinion for months. He is therefore predicted to take a more aggressive stance towards Trump.
But some Democratic observers question whether the image of Trump as a threat to democracy will really do the job among voters. Tomorrow it will be exactly three years since the storming of Congress, and the event has begun to feel distant, according to some strategists ABC spoke to.

Democrats: HD judge is badass - wife was involved in the storming of Congress
A group of Democrats in the US House of Representatives is demanding that Clarence Thomas, a judge of the Supreme Court, declare himself a judge in the case concerning whether Donald Trump should be on the ballot in the primary election in Colorado.
The politicians believe that Thomas's impartiality can be called into question because his wife was involved in the "events leading up to the uprising of January 6", referring to the storming of the Capitol. In a letter, the Democrats write that Thomas' wife participated in the protests that led up to the storming and that she also had a role in planning it.
"It is inconceivable that you could be impartial when deciding whether an event that your wife personally organized qualifies as an 'act of rebellion' that would prevent someone from holding the office of president," the politicians write in the letter.

The tone hardens in the battle for Iowa: "She's fake"
Ron DeSantis let the insults rain down on Nikki Haley in connection with the campaigning of the Republican candidates in the state of Iowa.
In an interview with NBC News, DeSantis called her competitor "fake" and "the darling of Trump opponents," claiming she doesn't understand the people of the state.
- Nikki Haley can't win over conservative voters. She speaks to voters who aren't even core Republicans.
The sharp comments indicate that DeSantis sees Haley as a real challenger in the Iowa caucuses in mid-January, which opens the primaries, writes NBC News. Something that the Florida governor firmly denies.
- I am the only one who has a chance to beat Trump and win the entire election, he says.
