He encouraged them stand up for democracy and promised his administration will lead the country to success.
The President did not hold back, as he doubled down on his election victory and the defeat of Former President Donald Trump.
If we all do our duty, in 2022 and beyond, then ages still to come will say that we kept the faith.

We preserved our democracy.
And we proved that for all its imperfections, America is still the beacon to the world.
Biden repeatedly called out the “MAGA Republicans” for putting a stain on U.S. democracy, as riots engulfed the nation on January 6 last year.
He says the “MAGA Republicans” support authoritarian leaders and disrupt the rule of law.
The speech marks Biden’s second visit to Pennsylvania this week alone. The state is a key battleground for Democrats as the U.S. races towards November’s mid-term elections.

The location of the speech was fitting. Independence Hall is known as the birthplace of American democracy, and is the same place Biden launched his 2020 bid to become U.S. President.
You can’t love your country only when you win politically.
