Presented with the Beacon of Hope Award at the ACRD conference in Chicago, former President Joe Biden on Tuesday gave his first public post-presidency speech, largely focused on the Trump administration’s alleged attacks on Social Security.

If you were expecting Joe Biden to rally the troops to resist Donald Trump's attacks on the separation of powers and the rule of law, Tuesday’s remarks may be a case of too little too late.

The former US president says his successor has "done so much damage and so much destruction" in his first days in office.
