Biden Accuses Trump of “Unprecedented Assault on Democracy” in Speech
President-elect Joe Biden accused President Trump of an “unprecedented assault on democracy” in a speech Monday night hours after the Electoral College formalized his victory. Mr. Trump has refused to concede the election and has tried repeatedly to use the courts to challenge the results without success.
Mr. Biden, speaking in Wilmington, Delaware, ran through some of Mr. Trump’s legal challenges, and said “they were found to be without merit” every time.
“Every single avenue was made available for President Trump to contest the results,” Mr. Biden said. “He took full advantage of each and every one of those avenues. President Trump was denied no course of action he wanted to take.”
