President Joe Biden late on Saturday responded to the Senate’s vote to acquit former President Donald Trump on an article of impeachment for “inciting” the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.
Biden said the events of Jan. 6 and the outcome of the impeachment trial are a reminder that “democracy is fragile,” according to a statement released hours after the upper chamber’s vote. He called on Americans to stay vigilant and to ensure that democracy is always defended.
