Asked whether he agreed with the president's diagnosis, Malloy criticized Biden for being divisive. "I want to unify our country, and he's not doing that in speeches like this," Malloy said. Prompted in a follow-up question to say whether he believed Biden had legitimately won the 2020 election, Malloy did not hesitate: "Yes," he said.
Welch, for his part, said the country was facing "a serious, serious threat to our democracy" and called Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob supporting then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop the election's certification, "one of the saddest days of my life in public service."
