The nation’s democracy is being attacked by a Republican party wing led by former President Donald Trump, so President Biden asked Democrats, mainstream Republicans, and independents to “stand out, speak out, get engaged – vote, vote, vote.”
Behind the bulletproof glass, 300 guests, including a variety of political officials, dignitaries, and Democratic supporters, listened to Biden speak. It was near the site of Biden’s formal announcement of his desire to run for president in 2019, where he used language evocative of that speech’s discussion of the “battle for the soul of the nation.”

In a rare address given during prime time, Biden criticized his predecessor, saying that “too much of what’s going on in our culture now isn’t normal.” The speech was delivered precisely two months ahead of the legislative elections in November, in which Democrats are attempting to hold onto their slim majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives.


Biden claimed that the Republican party is “a menace to this country” because of the “dominance, drive, and intimidation” that Trump and his supporters exert over it.
Biden said while addressing the public in front of Independence National Historical Park in downtown Philadelphia: “The results of a fair election are not acceptable to them. And they’re working in the state after state as we speak to give partisans and friends the authority to decide elections in America, allowing election skeptics to destroy democracy itself.”
The White House emphasized that Biden’s speech was not political, yet he frequently criticized Trump and his supporters. About the former president’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” he referred to them as “MAGA Republicans.”
Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, according to him, “represent an extremism that imperils the fundamental tenets of our system.”
Biden’s campaign says its message is resonating with voters
Former Bill Clinton adviser Doug Sosnik claimed that Biden is attempting to capitalize on a string of legislative successes, concerns over the Supreme Court’s decision on abortion, and ongoing coverage of Trump’s legal difficulties following months of declining in the polls.
The real power of the presidency, according to Sosnik, is knowing how to use the bully pulpit. “Your standing with the American public will improve the more likely you are to have an impact with the speech.”
a Democratic official with ties to the White House reportedly said.
Biden, according to the insider, “would never make it about Trump alone” because he considers the problem to be far bigger and possibly even beneath him. However, I think the majority of our party appreciates the stark contrast now that he’s back in the news.
Democratic pollster Ben Tulchin complimented Biden and his team for their choice to change course and engage Republicans more forcefully.
Biden, according to him, would be wise to draw even more comparisons between himself and Trump and the Republicans. Every hero needs a foe, according to Tulchin. And Donald Trump does a great job as the antagonist.
Biden was accused by Republicans of dividing the nation
Before the speech, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy urged Biden to retract his remarks.

Biden pushed established Republicans to distance themselves from that wing of their party to make it apparent that he wasn’t criticizing all Republicans.
“Despite these threats, we are not defenseless. We don’t allow this constant attack on democracy to continue, “added; said There are much more Americans than those who adhere to the extreme MAGA philosophy—Americans from every background and creed.
