On January 6, a year ago, on this day, the United States shocked the world with a "congressional riot", a farce that once put the United States out of control. In the end, then-President Trump chose to calm down and call on supporters to leave Congress. Biden did not carry out a real "reckoning" of Trump's behavior after taking office, and it was not until this anniversary that he severely criticized Trump for the first time. At the press conference, Biden named Trump and gave him a 25-minute "reprimand", calling him a "failed president". In the face of Biden's humiliation, Trump issued three statements in a short period of time, denouncing Biden for "dividing the United States" in his name. In the subsequent "vigil" held in Congress, a large number of Republican lawmakers refused to participate, and only two people attended the event, which can be regarded as an expression of the Republican Party's attitude towards this matter, and the political rift in the United States has reached a point where it is difficult to change back.
According to the Observer Network reported on January 7, at the one-year anniversary of the "Congressional riots" in the United States, Biden delivered an extremely sharp speech, pointing the finger at Trump throughout the process, criticizing him for undermining democracy and being the "most defeated president" of the United States. The harsh wording of the speech directly triggered a strong dissatisfaction from Trump, who bluntly said that Biden was taking the opportunity to divide the United States and deepen the tears within the US government.
Subsequently, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Pelosi presided over the "vigil" that night, and almost all Republican lawmakers refused to attend, and ridiculed Democrats for taking advantage of the opportunity to show off. No matter what the two sides say, the fact that the Democratic Party and the Republican Party in the United States are now in front of us, and the contradiction between the two "leaders" of Trump and Biden is deteriorating sharply. In 2022, the United States will hold midterm elections, and if the Democratic Party loses, Biden's authority as president will be greatly limited, just like Obama at the end of his administration.
The "congressional riots" that occurred in the United States in 2021 caused many deaths and many participants were held accountable. As the person directly responsible, Trump has not been punished in any way, for Biden, it is not that he does not want to sanction Trump, but he does not dare to break the "tradition" of the United States. Unlike South Korea, the United States has never had a precedent of "liquidating" the former president, no matter what he did during his term of office, he was "written off" after leaving office, which is also to ensure that the president dares to make decisions.
Trump this time is purely benefiting from such a "tradition" of the United States, resulting in Biden only daring to verbally reprimand after taking office, and has never taken effective action. From all indications, Trump is very likely to participate in the 2024 US election, which Biden is extremely reluctant to see. So, this time, taking advantage of the "Congressional Riots" commemoration, Biden hopes to take a step by step to stink Trump's reputation and prepare for this year's midterm elections and the 2024 general election, although the Democratic Party may not continue to nominate him as a candidate.
The Republican Party is actually worse than the Democratic Party, because of Trump, the Republican Party is not united. At the time of the "Congressional riots", the Republican Party was ready to abandon Trump and draw a line with him. As a result, it was found that the current Republican Party could not find a second representative who could have such an influential representative as Trump, and could only be tied to Trump, but there were still many people who did not like Trump's style.
At the "vigil" hosted by Pelosi, two Republican lawmakers chose to participate, standing against Trump. In this year's midterm elections, the republican party can unite as one, which will be an important factor in determining success or failure.
Biden said that the "congressional riots" caused by Trump were "a dagger in the throat of the United States", and in fact more serious than this is the vicious competition between the two parties in the United States. Serious political divisions will have consequences that will be difficult to repair, and when everything is not discussed, there will be only one choice left, each doing its own thing, and the United States will move towards division.
