There were two major events yesterday (January 5, 2024) remembering the events of the insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. A news conference was held by members of Congress:
President Joe Biden visited Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, and gave a speech on the insurrection and other topics:
This excerpt from the Valley Forge speech emphasized that “democracy is on the ballot in 2024”:
On January 5th, 2024, the Supreme Court accepted the case to review the Colorado Supreme Court ruling that Donald Trump should be removed from the 2024 primary ballot in Colorado. With oral argument scheduled for February 8th, 2024, there should be some clarity soon as to whether the attempts to use the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution to keep Trump off the 2024 election ballot will succeed.
