President Biden will mark the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol at a key site in the Revolutionary War, kicking off the campaign year with a speech on the fate of American democracy, AP reports.

Why it matters: The move makes clear that the Capitol insurrection — and former President Trump's link to it — will form an important part of Biden's 2024 campaign messaging as he struggles in the polls.

Driving the news: Biden will deliver remarks in Valley Forge, Pa., where the Continental Army, led by George Washington, was encamped between 1777 and 1778, CBS reports.

  • "There, he'll decry former President Donald Trump for the riot by a mob of his supporters who overran the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election," AP writes.
  • On Monday, Biden will visit the church in Charleston, S.C., where a white gunman massacred Black parishioners in 2015.

  • The announcement comes after Axios first reported that the Biden campaign was planning a push in South Carolina this month in an effort to drive voter turnout — a shift in strategy after focusing on traditional battleground states.
Between the lines: Biden will highlight some of America's darkest days rather than his accomplishments as president, AP notes. At both events, he'll paint Trump as a threat to the country's founding principles.

  • In response, Trump official Jason Miller told Axios' Mike Allen: "When is Biden going to the border?"

Outside of the beltway does anyone actually believe that it was an insurrection?

The level of overdramatic pearl clutching being done by the left probably has even some who DO think J6 was a problem (if not an insurrection) wondering if it isn't all a bit much.

I mean, you can only compare it to our legitimate worst days ever so many times before it starts to sound stupid. Especially with the passage of time.

Is Biden gonna light everything up in red and do his Hitler rally impression again?

They are trying so hard to incite an actual revolution before the elections, but conservatives aren't taking the bait. Liberals are, but their provocations are just falling on deaf ears and rolling eyes at this point.

I expect it to notch up over the year to see what pushes us over the line.

Well, with failure after failure in his first term... the best they could come up with was exploiting the tragedies of the people and pretending Trump/J6 TRIED to overthrow the gov't.

No one (not even lefties) believe that crap anymore.

Nor is it the top issue for most, except for the elites on the coasts. Beating a dead horse for the most part.

There was an insurrection. Staged, started and planned by Peeeeelosi, the alphabets and the Capitol police who instigated it. Lobbing flash grenades, tear gas, and fired bean bags into the crowds … unprovoked.

Hopefully someone there at Numb Nuts speech will call him out in front of everyone.

The fake news or Republicants sure won’t.
