U.S. President Joe Biden was ramping up his 2024 election campaign in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Friday and took aim at former president Donald Trump over the Capitol events of Jan. 6, 2021. “Over 140 police officers were injured. Jill and I attended the funeral of police officers who died as a result of the events of that day — because of Trump’s lies — they died because his lies brought a mob to Washington. He promised it would be wild, and it was. He told the crowd to fight like hell, and all hell was unleashed,” Biden said.
