US President Joe Biden says he “saw an America pushed to the brink” in the aftermath of the January 6 riots.
“But I felt an enormous pride, not in winning, I felt enormous pride in America,” he told media in a public address.
“Because American democracy had been tested – American democracy had held together.”
Mr Biden also took the opportunity to attack his potential opponent, former US President Donald Trump.
“Trump is promising a full-scale campaign of revenge and retribution,” Mr Biden said.
“He calls those who oppose him vermin – he talks about the blood of America being poisoned.
“Echoing the same exact language used in Nazi, Germany.”
