Editorial: The New York Times

• President Biden freely expressed his revulsion for the conduct of his predecessor, Donald Trump and indicated that it would be problematic for the United States if the latter were to win the presidency again.
• Biden is trying to remind the population of the exhaustion endured during Trump's administration and the potential serious consequences of a new term for him.
• Biden kept the preservation of American democracy as a central concept in his campaign.
• Biden's address warned of the danger of Donald Trump glorifying the Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

Conclusion: Biden's main message is that the 2024 election will not be a usual battle between parties, platforms, and policies but a battle between those who respect and abide by the ground rules of democracy and those who do not.
