President Joe Biden launched a wide-ranging attack on former President Donald Trump on Thursday, warning that his predecessor is a threat to American democracy and drawing a sharp distinction between himself and his likely 2024 election opponent.
To make his most extensive critique of Trump this year, Biden, a Democrat, chose an event to honor the late Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, a former presidential candidate, fighter pilot and Vietnam prisoner of war whom Trump had denounced as "not a war hero."
Biden also recalled remarks that Trump reportedly made after he abandoned a plan to visit an American military cemetery outside of Paris in 2018. The Atlantic reported at the time that Trump had called the war dead "suckers" and "losers," comments that Trump denied vigorously. Trump's official campaign social media account on Thursday posted a Washington Examiner story disputing the Atlantic reporting.
"I believe very strongly that the defining feature of our democracy is our Constitution," the president said. "I believe in free and fair elections and the peaceful transfer of power."
