President Biden has now officially released his first campaign ad of 2024.

And in that ad, President Biden makes clear what he believes will be the central

issue of this election.

I've made the preservation of American democracy the central issue of my presidency.

I believe in free and fair elections and the right to vote fairly and have your vote counted.

There's something dangerous happening in America. There's an extremist movement

that does not share the basic police in our democracy.

All of us are being asked right now,

what will we do to maintain our democracy?

We are the United States of America.

There is nothing beyond our capacity and we act together.

I'm Joe Biden and I approve this message.

That's Joe Biden's campaign message this year.

That Donald Trump and the movement he is encouraged

are a threat to democracy.

Tomorrow the president's going to continue to push that message in a speech at Valley

Forge commemorating the three-year anniversary of the January 6th

attack on the Capitol. And the message that President Biden will deliver there, while

important, will not be new. Donald Trump's threats to democracy are well known.

Americans saw it when Trump spent his presidency cozying up to dictators and shunting America's

Democratic allies.
