US ‘is back’: Biden touts democracy on first overseas trip

Al Jazeera  

Eight day visit will include G7 and NATO meetings, as well as summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. United States President Joe Biden has begun a multiday trip to Europe with one clear goal in mind: telling the world that democracy – not autocracy – is the path forwards. “This is my first overseas trip as president of the United States,” Biden told troops at the airbase. “At every point along the way, we’re going to make it clear that the United States is back and democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges, and the issues that matter most to our future.” Critics: Republicans are threatening democracy As Biden left the US on Wednesday morning, a new poll revealed that nearly three in 10 Republicans believe that former President Donald Trump will be reinstated as president in the coming months. Over the past months, individual members of Congress voted against the certification of Biden’s Electoral College victory, partisan “audits” of presidential election ballots have been held, and Republicans in battleground states such as Florida, Georgia and Texas have rewritten voting and election rules in reaction to “fraud” that never actually occurred.
