Biden opened his speech with a familiar message - asking Americans to join together - but quickly warned about a dangerous concentration of wealth in the United States.
But he warned of a “tech industrial complex” that is bringing an “avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power.” The free press, he added, “is crumbling.”
The foreboding speech comes as Biden's Democratic Party has little leverage in national politics and Trump has nominated a slate of cabinet members who have pledged to upend traditional American alliances and governing norms.
Forced out of the race in July after a disastrous debate against Trump, Biden has been blamed by some Democrats for their November wipeout, after Vice President Kamala Harris' whirlwind campaign lost every battleground state.
But Biden was unable to heal divisions in the country the way he had hoped, or stop democratic backsliding around the world. His crowning political achievement - defeating Trump in 2020 - proved temporary. Now the Republican president-elect has vowed to undo much of what the Democratic administration accomplished.
“He became a historic president when he defeated Trump. So obviously the fact that Trump is resurgent and returning to power, more powerful than he was when he left, is an unhappy coda to the story.”
“I ran for president because I believed that the soul of America was at stake. The very nature of who we are was at stake. And, that’s still the case,“ he said, urging Americans to keep fighting for the country’s focus on equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
“In historical terms, it has been a millisecond since the election. This president has locked in the most significant legislative record since LBJ (President Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s), and the irreversible benefits of those laws will grow over decades,“ the official said.
“The country was in the depths of crises. The recovery from that pandemic has been his single greatest accomplishment,“ Coons said.
Republicans seized on public frustration in last year's election, stoking anger over high prices with accusations of Democrat elitism and disconnection from working-class voters, while blaming immigrants for high prices, despite a lack of evidence.
Afghanistan, Israel
However, 13 U.S. military personnel died during the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal in August 2021, and Biden's popularity never recovered.
Vincent Rigby, a former senior national security adviser to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, said Biden would forever be remembered as an “interlude” president despite his solid achievements in rebuilding trust in the United States after Trump's first term.
“We’ll see how history treats him five, 10, 15 years from now, but he’ll be seen as the president between the two Trump presidencies. He held the line, but Trump came back.”
