Forty Years Later, Biden Seeks to Echo Reagan's Legacy of American Leadership

[Martin68]

1. I see no evidence that Biden "echoed" Reagan's speech. They both spoke on the same topic, which was the focus of the

commemorative event, with similar views on America's role in the defeat of Nazi Germany, and the importance of protecting our democracy and freedom. The similarity does not constitute an "echo," which implies he is copying or was influenced by Reagan's speech. Reagan Republicans will probably notice the contrast between Trump and every president before him. I wonder how influential they are in the modern GOP.

Compare Jimmy Carter's speech on the same occasion:
