0:50Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden called on Americans to defend freedom and democracy, drawing an implicit contrast with Republican Donald Trump by invoking the heroism of US Army Rangers who scaled the cliffs of Pointe Du Hoc on D-Day to take out a Nazi position.

By choosing the site, Biden sought to align himself with one former Republican president to take on another who has embraced strongmen and championed an “America First” foreign policy.
