President Joe Biden urges Americans to remember the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging history to avoid repeating past mistakes. In his op-ed, Biden highlights the threat posed by Donald Trump to democracy and stresses the need for a truthful recounting of the events.

In a compelling op-ed, President Joe Biden called on Americans to never forget the harrowing events of Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol. Published in The Washington Post, Biden's plea comes ahead of the Congress's certification of Donald Trump's renewed presidency.

Biden reiterated his portrayal of Trump as a looming threat to democracy, citing his unwillingness to concede his 2020 election defeat. The President has anchored his campaign around the defense of democracy, which he relinquished due to age concerns, leaving Kamala Harris to challenge Trump once more.
