Biden and Harris Will Speak on the Capitol Insurrection Anniversary
President Biden and Vice President Harris will speak on Thursday to mark the anniversary of the insurrection at the Capitol, the White House announced Sunday.
The White House had previously indicated it would mark the anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol but had not provided details. Hundreds of pro-Trump rioters stormed the complex that day, overwhelming law enforcement and seeking to stop the certification of Biden’s electoral victory.
Biden has repeatedly referred to the insurrection as a dark day in U.S. history, condemned the rioters and thanked the Capitol Police who were on the scene.
