5 May 5, according to local media in the United States, U.S. President Biden recently awarded the highest honor of the American people, the "Presidential Medal of Freedom", to 19 people at the White House. They include former U.S. House Speaker Pelosi, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and other Democratic allies, as well as Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh and other people in other fields. According to reports, US President Biden did not forget to "criticize" his opponent, former Republican President Trump, without naming him.
It is reported that US President Biden pointed out the riots on Capitol Hill during that day's event and praised Pelosi as "the greatest Speaker of the House of Representatives." Later, he also praised the 76-year-old former US Vice President Al Gore for "accepting the ultimately controversial results" of the 2000 US election.
According to reports, in 2000, former US Vice President Al Gore was officially nominated as the presidential candidate by the Democratic Party. However, in the election, he and Republican candidate George W. Bush received the same number of votes. After 30 days of stalemate and litigation, former US Vice President Al Gore announced that he had lost the election. Since then, he has been committed to ecological and environmental protection.
U.S. President Joe Biden said, "He accepted the results of the disputed presidential election for the sake of unity and trust in our community. As far as I'm concerned, what you've done is amazing, but I don't want to say more explain. "According to reports, U.S. President Biden was criticizing former President Trump.
According to local French media, other well-known Democrats who have won this honor include the 82-year-old former New York City mayor and billionaire Michael Bu Lomborg and 80-year-old former US Secretary of State John Kerry. At the same time, the 19 winners also include people from different fields such as sports and culture, including American swimming star Ledecky, Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh, etc.
. It should be noted that according to local British media, when presenting the award to Michelle Yeoh, US President Biden initially mistakenly called her "Michael", but quickly corrected himself and changed it to the correct name "Michelle"
