From an op-ed published today by Joe Biden:
That pursuit of a more perfect union has been thrown off course in recent years — and no one bears more responsibility than President Donald Trump.
Every day, he finds new ways to tarnish and dismantle our democracy — from baseless attacks on our voting rights to the use of military force against Americans protesting peacefully for racial justice.
