"Biden's Roast of Trump and DeSantis Highlights Threat to Democracy"

President Biden joked about former President Donald Trump's age and mental fitness during remarks at the Gridiron Club Dinner, while also warning of threats to democracy and freedom in the U.S. and abroad. He highlighted concerns about Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions in Europe and referenced Trump's encouragement of Putin's behavior towards NATO allies. Biden also expressed worries about voting rights and abortion, cautioning that the threat apparent during the effort to overturn the 2020 election remains a "poison" within the "veins of our democracy."
