In a Washington Post opinion piece, President Biden emphasized the importance of remembering the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack as a reminder that democracy is never guaranteed. “We should commit to remembering Jan. 6 every year,” Biden wrote, urging Americans to safeguard democracy for future generations.
