During the actual event, Biden took a few swings at his primary opponent, former President Donald Trump, devoting a good part of his speech to the "serious threat to democracy."

“Donald has had a few tough days lately. You might call it stormy weather,” the president quipped, referring to Trump’s current hush money trial.

“Trump’s speech was so embarrassing, the statue of Robert E. Lee surrendered again,” Biden told the crowd. "The stakes couldn’t be higher ... Every single one of us has a role to play, a serious role to play, in making sure democracy endures. American democracy."

"In an age of disinformation, credible information people can trust is more important than ever," he continued. "That makes you, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart, that makes you more important than ever.”

Biden's speech, which lasted around 10 minutes, failed to mention the ongoing war between Israel and Palestine or the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza leaving many families starving.
