America’s soul at stake as Trump comeback looms – Biden warns
President Joe Biden of the United States on Wednesday, warned that the soul of America is still at stake, as he prepares to deliver his farewell address to the nation before the return of the incoming president, Donald Trump.
DAILY POST reports that Biden will make a prime time speech from the Oval Office of the White House in which he is expected to tout the legacy of his single term in power.
“I ran for president because I believed that the soul of America was at stake. The very nature of who we are was at stake. And, that’s still the case.
“History is in your hands. The power is in your hands. The idea of America lies in your hands. We just have to keep the faith and remember who we are,” he said.
According to the 82-year-old Democrat, the United States was stronger than four years ago, when it stood in a winter of peril after Trump’s chaotic first term, the Covid pandemic and what he called the worst attack on democracy since the Civil War.
DAILY POST recalls that Biden was sworn in just days after the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol by Trump supporters trying to overturn his election loss.
Biden added that he had asked the White House to also release a long list of what he said were his administration’s achievements on issues ranging from the economy to healthcare and climate.
The outgoing president has spent much of his final days in power trying to burnish a legacy damaged by his decision to run for a second term despite his age.

Mozambique swears in new President amid post-election unrest
Mozambique on Wednesday inaugurated a new president, Daniel Chapo, in front of a heavily guarded audience of dignitaries in the capital, Maputo after weeks of violent demonstrations over the fiercely disputed election results.
The 48-year-old Chapo extended his Frelimo party’s 50-year rule following claims by opposition candidate, Venancio Mondlane, that the vote was rigged, which triggered unrest that reportedly left no fewer than 300 people dead.
DAILY POST recalls that Mozambique’s president-elect, Chapo, was set to be sworn in, more than three months after a contested election that has plunged the country into political turmoil.
While taking the oath of office, Chapo promised to devote all his energies to defending, promoting and consolidating national unity, human rights, democracy and the well-being of the Mozambican people.
However, on the eve of the inauguration, Mondlane threatened to paralyse the new government with daily demonstrations following his earlier calls for a national strike in the days leading up to the ceremony.
According to him, the October 9 polls were rigged in favour of the Frelimo party, which has governed Mozambique since independence from Portugal in 1975.
“This regime does not want peace. We’ll protest every single day. If it means paralysing the country for the entire term, we will paralyse it for the entire term,” he stated via Facebook on Tuesday.
International observers have said the election was marred by irregularities while the EU mission condemned what it described as the unjustified alteration of election results.
Neighbouring South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa attended the inauguration while former colonial ruler Portugal sent Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel.
