President Biden took a jab at Trump, saying what the president-elect did was a “genuine threat to democracy.”
Ahead of the anniversary of the January 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol, Biden was asked if he still thought Trump was a threat to democracy.
“We need to re-establish basic democratic norms,” Biden told reporters in the East Room of the White House on Sunday. “I think what he did was a real threat to democracy. I’m hopeful that we’re beyond that.”
Biden made the comments to the press after signing the Social Security Fairness Act.
Biden also discussed his plans to visit New Orleans on Monday to mourn with relatives of the victims and meet with officials after the New Year’s Day terror attack in the city.

“I’ve been there. There’s nothing you can really say to someone who’s had such a tragic loss. And my message will be personal to them,” he said. “They just have to hold on to each other and there will come a day when they think of their loved one and smile before a tear comes to their eye.”

The visit comes after 14 people were killed and dozens injured after police say 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar rammed a rental pickup truck into pedestrians on busy Bourbon Street Wednesday morning. Jabbar was fatally shot by police after he opened fire on the officers.
“We established beyond a reasonable doubt that New Orleans was a lone man acting alone. All the talk of conspiracies with other people, no evidence of that, zero,” Biden said.

“He had real issues with his own mental health, I think. And he acted alone in the same way as what happened in Las Vegas,” Biden said. “But there is no evidence, zero evidence of the idea that these are foreigners coming across the border, but they worked here, they stayed here.”
