Biden memoir says Trump should carry weight of January 6 riots to his grave
What happened
According to Joe Biden's memoir, Donald Trump's administration was determined to "tear down institutions and inflame hatreds." Biden called the January 6 attacks on the Capitol an insurrection and said Trump's goal was to remain in power after being voted out of office. Trump later issued over 1,500 pardons for those involved in the riots. Biden wrote that Trump's actions on January 6, 2021, should "follow him to his grave."
Why it matters
The memoir's criticism of Trump's presidency has implications for public perception of his legacy and the 2024 presidential election. The excerpt's release comes after Biden's fellow Democrats secured a strong majority in the midterm elections. The criticism may influence how voters view Trump's presidency and its impact on the country.
