OPINION: For Joe Biden, the Nov. 5 election is about Jan. 6

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) When President Joe Biden came to Atlanta last weekend, he had an ominous warning for the Democrats at a fundraiser hosted by Home Depot co-founder Arthur Blank. Former President Donald Trump had a psychotic break after the 2020 election, Biden said. It led to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and everything else that followed.

“It’s clear that when he lost in 2020, something snapped, I’m being serious,” Biden said Saturday. “He just can’t accept the fact he lost. That is why Jan. 6 happened. Every legal avenue Trump tried to change the election failed. So he unleashed an insurrection. He sat there for three hours, watching what was happening, not saying a word.”

Although Biden has said repeatedly this election cycle that “democracy is on the ballot” in 2024, he has never quite gotten to the point the way he did over the weekend, describing Trump’s inaction on Jan. 6 as not just a failed test of leadership, but a sign of malignant character.

“The message of this campaign is very straightforward,” Biden said. “The threat Trump poses is greater in a second term than it was in the first term.”
