In a televised speech, Biden said, "The Senate has spoken, and while they have acquitted the former president, the trial has made clear that he bears responsibility for a grave attack on our democracy and our Capitol." Biden also expressed his gratitude to those who stood up for the truth and fought to uphold the Constitution.
