President Joe Biden ripped what he called the “unrelenting effort” to “erase” the memory of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Riot in a new op-ed for the Washington Post.
In his piece published on Sunday, Biden said the U.S. should be “proud that our democracy withstood this assault” and suggested the nation commit to remembering the Capitol Riot each year on its anniversary. His op-ed notably did not mention President-elect Donald Trump by name.
It also came on the eve of Vice President Kamala Harris certifying the 2024 election results on Monday, with Biden noting she would “preside over the certification of her opponent’s victory in the November election.”
