Seeking a second term, US President Joe Biden has launched a vitriolic attack against his rival and predecessor Donald Trump and accused him of threatening democracy within the country and globally, kneeling before Russia and supporting “resentment, revenge and retribution”.

Without taking the name of Trump, Biden in his final State of the Union Address to the joint session of the US Congress, identified him as his predecessor, which he mentioned as many as 13 times in his speech that lasted for over an hour.

Following Super Tuesday, decks have become clear for a rematch of 2022 in the November presidential elections.
