President Joe Biden criticized the media for not accurately reporting on former President Donald Trump, stating that Trump poses a serious threat to democracy.
Biden expressed doubts about Trump conceding if he were to win reelection and emphasized the importance of democracy as a key issue for his 2024 campaign.
“It’s like you’ve all become numbed by it,” Biden said.
“How can we, as a democracy, elect anyone President who says violence is appropriate?” he asked.
“Losers who are losers are never graceful,” he said. “I just think that he’ll do anything to try to win. If—and when—I win, I think he’ll contest it. No matter what the result is.”
White House adviser Mike Donilon outlined a strategy to focus on democracy as a central theme, although polling indicates it is not a top concern for voters.
Biden’s campaign focus “will become overwhelming on democracy. I think the biggest images in people’s minds are going to be of January 6th,” White House adviser Mike Donilon said.
Former Obama adviser David Axelrod highlighted the Republican message of portraying Biden as not in control and emphasized the need to counter such narratives.
“I’m pretty certain in Scranton they’re not sitting around their dinner table talking about democracy every night,” Axelrod said.
“The Republican message is: The world’s out of control and Biden’s not in command. That’s the entire message—Trump, the strongman, is the solution. I think you have to be thinking about how you counter that, and how you deal with fears about Biden’s condition,” he added.
