Biden has lambasted former President Donald Trump for spreading mistruths that fuelled the deadly attack on the US Capitol. Both Biden and Harris focussed on the importance of voting to defend democracy. Harris also cast a spotlight on Trump supporters' efforts to subvert democracy, calling on Congress to pass voting rights legislation and on Americans to participate. US President Joe Biden used the first anniversary of the January 6 assault on the US Capitol on Thursday to urge Americans to protect the country's fragile democracy by standing up for the right to vote. Biden and Harris plan to travel to Georgia on Tuesday to deliver remarks about voting rights.
