On January 6, Capitol Police officers were attacked while campaigning for Biden

A group of Capitol Police officers injured in the violence on January 6, 2021, will travel to swing states to campaign for President Biden’s re-election, his campaign team announced Monday.

Sergeant Aquilino Gonell, Officer Harry Dunn and Officer Daniel “Danny” Hodges will make stops in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and New Hampshire to raise awareness of former President Trump’s conduct following the 2020 election and to warn of the dangers that Trump, the likely Republican nominee, poses to democracy.

Officials are expected to meet with local authorities, law enforcement and community members in each state, the Biden campaign said.

“Donald Trump and his insane pursuit of power and vengeance pose an existential threat to our democracy,” Dunn said in a statement. He ran for Congress but finished second in the Democratic primary in Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District.

“He continues to advocate political violence, going so far as to say there will be a ‘bloodbath’ if he loses again and promising to be a dictator on ‘day one’ and pardon the Jan. 6 rioters,” Dunn added. “Donald Trump only cares about Donald Trump, which is why in November, Americans will reject his extremism once and for all and re-elect the only candidate in the race committed to protecting our democracy and standing up for law enforcement: Joe Biden.”

The three officers who will campaign for Biden are among dozens of police officers injured during the Jan. 6 insurrection, when pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol to prevent the certification of Biden’s 2020 election victory.

Biden has made Trump’s conduct surrounding Jan. 6 and the violence at the Capitol that day the centerpiece of his re-election campaign, seeking to warn voters that the former president poses an acute threat to democracy.

The incumbent and his campaign also argued that Trump’s disregard for officers on January 6 undermines his stated support for law enforcement.
