What to Expect from Trump on January 6

Politico:
“If he follows the script laid out in his announcement of the news conference, he will commit a whitewashing of the attacks on Jan. 6, 2021,
repeating the lie that the 2020 election was rigged
and defending his part in fomenting the insurrection —
all while a solemn prayer service is held at the Capitol, in a vivid split-screen moment.
And, as Trump castigates Republicans not toeing his line, his event will also serve as a marker of Trump’s extraordinary dominion over the GOP.
“One year ago, many prominent Republicans predicted Trump’s behavior on and ahead of Jan. 6 would relegate him to the fringes of the right, shaming the GOP back into the mainstream. Instead, the opposite has happened.”
Said GOP strategist Ralph Reed:
“It’s extraordinary. You could make the argument that he’s in a stronger position within the Republican Party today than he perhaps ever has been.”
The Hill:
Officials brace for January 6 anniversary.
SOME OF HIS ADVISERS ARE WARNING HIM NOT TO DO THIS.
Biden’s words on voting rights meet call to action after 1/6!.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has gotten the same troubling questions from worried world leaders, ones that he never thought he would hear.
“Is America going to be all right?” they ask. “What about democracy in America?”
While Biden has tried to offer America’s allies assurances, he has only occasionally emphasized the gravity of the threat to democracy from the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and the repeated lie from the man he defeated, Donald Trump, that the 2020 election was stolen.
Now, as the anniversary of that deadly day nears, the president is being urged to reorder priorities and use the powers of his office to push voting rights legislation that its adherents say could be the only effective way to counter the rapidly emerging threats to the democratic process.
The tension in Biden’s approach reflects his balancing of the urgent needs of Americans to make progress on the highly visible issues of the coronavirus pandemic and the economy and the less visible, but equally vital, issue of preserving trust in elections and government.
