President Joe Biden, in a speech marking the anniversary of the U.S. Capitol riot, plans to blast the “shadow of lies” that led to a failed insurrection meant to nullify his election victory over Donald Trump.
Biden is set to speak at the U.S. Capitol at 9 a.m. Thursday, with his address expected to focus on the danger posed by Trump’s ongoing lies about the November 2020 presidential election results. He is not expected to use the event to push the Democratic Party’s sweeping voting rights legislation ― he plans to travel to Georgia to deliver a speech on the proposed law next week.
