Biden Suggests 'Democracy is at Stake' in 2024

Facts

Speaking at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York on Monday, Pres. Joe Biden claimed that he was running for reelection in 2024 in order to 'defend, protect, and fight for our democracy' against Donald Trump and his support base.¹
Arguing that 'democracy is at stake,' Biden asserted that Trump wished to 'destroy American democracy.' Trump currently sits as the frontrunner once again for the Republican presidential nomination.²
Biden accused the former president of siding with 'dictators like Putin,' while affirming that 'political violence in America is never never never acceptable.' Trump is currently facing criminal charges for his role in efforts to overturn his electoral loss in 2020.³
Already America's oldest president at 80 years old, Biden acknowledged that 'a lot of people seem focused' on his age. However, the president noted his experience as an important factor in his administration's handling of the COVID pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.⁴
In an interview aired on NBC on Sunday, Trump, 77, stated that while Biden was not too old he believed that the president was 'incompetent,' with the matter being 'a bigger problem.'⁵
According to a poll by CBS of 4,002 adults taken between Sept. 12-15, Trump currently leads Biden by 1%, with both candidates sitting at 50% and 49% respectively. Only 7% believed that both candidates had the required mental and cognitive health to serve as president, while just 12% believed that both were physically healthy enough.⁶

Right narrative, as provided by American greatness. If there's any assault on 'Our Democracy' it's coming from the Washington establishment — more specifically, the Democratic party. As soon as Donald Trump was elected, we saw woke activists coordinate incessant protests claiming Pres. Trump was 'not their president' while questioning his legitimacy. To the mainstream media and Democrats, 'Our Democracy' is just a synonym for their stranglehold on power.
Left narrative, as provided by CNN. The upcoming 2024 presidential election is marred with potentially devastating implications for America's political, democratic, judicial, and economic future — predominantly instigated by the authoritarian behavior of Trump and his far-right supporters. The country is heading into unknown territory this election cycle, and poor decision-making by the public may see America as we know it overwhelmed by forces seeking to destroy the very principles the country was founded upon.
