Biden: What Trump Did on January 6 ‘Should Follow Him to His Grave’

How the coverage differs

The story concerns a remark by President Joe Biden about Donald Trump and the January 6 Capitol riot, in which Biden said the events "should follow him to his grave." The headlines establish little beyond the quotation itself; only the Washington Times specifies a setting, reporting that Biden made the comment "in new book."

All four outlets agree on the core elements: Biden is the speaker, Trump is the subject, January 6 is the occasion, and the quoted phrase "to his grave" is the hook. None of the headlines characterize Biden's remark as accurate or inaccurate, and none offer a response from Trump.

The differences are mostly in wording. NBC News and The Atlantic describe the subject as "Trump's Jan. 6 actions" or "What Trump Did on January 6," placing responsibility on Trump's conduct. The Hill and the Washington Times instead refer to the "Jan. 6 riots" or "Jan. 6 riot," framing the event rather than Trump's role as what should follow him. The Washington Times alone foregrounds the venue — "in new book" — which situates the comment as part of a promotional or memoir context rather than as a fresh political statement, while The Atlantic's headline is a bare quotation with no framing verb at all. The headlines do not indicate when the remark was made, what book is referenced, or what surrounding argument Biden offered.
