Biden: Georgia officials 'helped save our democracy' by standing up to 2020 pressure [View all]
President Biden on Friday credited Georgia officials with helping to "save our democracy" by standing up to pressure from former President Trump and his allies over the 2020 election.
Biden delivered remarks in Atlanta condemning violence and discrimination against the Asian American community after eight people, six of whom were Asian, were shot and killed there Tuesday evening. But he used the second half of his speech to credit Georgia with both securing his victory and delivering Democrats the majority in the Senate.
The president took a thinly veiled swipe at his predecessor, who spent weeks challenging Georgia's election results, making unproven claims of fraud and pressuring state officials to overturn the result.
"The people of Georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry. And there's nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you've recalculated," Trump said in a January phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R).
