U.S. President Joe Biden acknowledged his own country’s vulnerabilities as he hosted a virtual Summit for Democracy that brings together world leaders, civil society and the private sector to "set forth an affirmative agenda for democratic renewal and to tackle the greatest threats faced by democracies today through collective action."
"In the face of sustained and alarming challenges to democracy, universal human rights and all around the world, democracy needs champions,” Biden said Thursday during his opening remarks at the start of the two-day event.
