One attack, two interpretations: Biden and Trump both make the Jan. 6 riot a political rallying cry

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump plans to spend the third anniversary of the Capitol riot by campaigning in Iowa as he tries win back the White House. The former Republican president has two events planned for Saturday in the leadoff voting state Iowa as he marks the anniversary of what he has called “a beautiful day.” President Joe Biden will be at a site near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, on Friday where he’s expected to press his case that Trump and top supporters of his “Make America Great Again” movement are threats to American democracy. Biden’s visit has been moved up from Saturday due to weather concerns. The Capitol riot is increasingly viewed differently along partisan lines.
