That is the question the American people must answer this year and you, the free press, play a critical role in making sure the American people have the information they need to make an informed decision,\u201d Biden began.<\/p>\n<p>Biden then turned to attack former President Donald Trump, delivering a series of partial truths and out-of-context quotes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defeated former President has made no secret of his attack on our democracy he said he wants to be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/in-a-stunning-act-of-bravery-the-atlantic-claims-trump-will-be-a-dictator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dictator<\/a> on day one and so much more.

Eight years ago, it could have been written off as just Trump talk but no longer, not after January 6. I\u2019m sincerely not asking you to take sides, but asking a rise up to the seriousness of the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMove past the horse race numbers and the gotcha moments, and the distractions, the sideshows that have come to dominate and sensationalize our politics and focusing on what\u2019s actually at stake,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-approves-executive-order-for-sanctions-on-myanmar-officials-in-response-to-military-coup\/\" title=\"Biden Approves Executive Order For Sanctions On Myanmar Officials In Response To Military Coup\">president continued<\/a>. \u201cI think in your hearts, you know what\u2019s at stake. The stakes couldn\u2019t be higher every single one of us has roles to play \u2014 a serious role, to play in making sure democracy endures, American democracy. I have my role, but with all due respect, so do you. In the age of disinformation, credible information that people can trust is more important than ever and that makes you, and I mean this with the bottom of my heart, makes you more important than ever. So tonight, I\u2019d like to make a toast \u2014 to a free press, to an informed citizenry, to an American where freedom and democracy endure.
