Former US President Joe Biden accused Donald Trump of leading an insurrection and undermining American democracy in his upcoming memoir.
Former US President Joe Biden has stated that the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol will follow his successor, Donald Trump, to his grave, according to reports by The Times of India, Firstpost, and The New Indian Express.
In the first excerpt of his memoir, titled "Promise Me, America," published by The Atlantic on Monday, Biden accused Trump of leading an insurrection to remain in power after losing the 2020 election.
The 83-year-old Democrat rejected descriptions of the rioters as peaceful protesters, writing that they arrived armed to stop the certification of a legitimate election.
Biden also criticised Trump for issuing more than 1,500 pardons to people involved in the Capitol attack and for his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
He claimed Trump sought to dismantle his administration's achievements, particularly policies regarding climate change, rather than building upon them.
Biden noted that his promotional activities for the book will be limited due to his health following a prostate cancer diagnosis, though he said doctors are encouraged by his response to treatment.
The full memoir is scheduled for release on November 17.
