President Biden took on Trump, saying what the president has done is “a real threat to democracy.”
Before the commemoration of the January 6, 2021, riots at the US Capitol, Biden was asked if he still thought Trump was a threat to democracy.
“We have to go back to establishing the basic principles of democracy,” Biden told reporters in the White House East Room on Sunday. “I think what he did was a great danger to democracy. I hope we are more than that.”
Biden made comments to the media after signing the Social Security Fairness Act.
Biden also discussed his plans to visit New Orleans on Monday to mourn with family members of the victims and meet with officials after the terrorist attack in the city on New Year’s Day.

“I’ve been there. There’s nothing you can really say to someone who has lost something like this. And my message will be specific to them,” he said. “They just have to hold each other and there will come a day when they think about their loved one, smile before the tears come out.”

The move comes after 14 people were killed and dozens injured after police say Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, rammed a rental truck into pedestrians on busy Bourbon Street Wednesday morning. The police shot and killed Jabbar after he opened fire on the police.
“We found without a doubt that New Orleans was one man acting alone. It’s all about conspiracies and other people, there’s no evidence of that,” said Biden.

“He had real issues with his, I think, mental health, going on. And he acted alone in a similar way to what happened in Las Vegas,” Biden said. “But there is no evidence, no evidence to support the idea that these are foreigners who come to the border, but work here, live here.”
