President Biden's first major campaign event of 2024 is set to take place in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania. The president intends to persuade the American people - in a speech - that former President Trump, his most likely presidential election opponent, is a threat to democracy.
Biden is expected to speak at Montgomery County Community College, about 15 miles from the Revolutionary War encampment of Valley Forge, on Friday afternoon, one day before the third anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riot.
Biden's aides told Reuters that the speech's theme will be about "preserving democracy."
Another aide told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce that the president worked very hard crafting his speech after meeting with historians and scholars at the White House this week.
The president is expected to call Trump and MAGA Americans 'far-right extremists' and a genuine threat to the freedoms on which the country was founded.
The Biden-Harris campaign said Montgomery County Community College is a "stone's throw" away from the Revolutionary War encampment of Valley Forge. This is where then-General George Washington, leading the Continental Army, "transformed a disorganized alliance of colonial militias into a cohesive coalition united in their fight for our democracy" 250 years ago.
