White House officials said it reflected growing concern over Trump allies’ ideological propositions and relentless denial of the nation’s 2020 election results. “MAGA forces are determined to take this country back,” Biden said. “Back to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry the one you love.” “For too long, we’ve been assuring ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed.

Biden points to the current climate of violence in the US
“You can’t love your country only when you’re winning,” US President Joe Biden said in a speech on Thursday night. He called on Americans to reject violence, saying they cannot be “pro-insurgency and pro-American” at the same time. . Biden, who largely avoided even referring to the “former guy” by name during his first year in office, has become increasingly vocal in calling out Trump personally. Now, emboldened by his party’s recent legislative victories and wary of Trump’s return to the headlines, Biden is stepping up his attacks. Trump has planned a rally this weekend in Scranton, Penn., Biden’s hometown.
‘No question’ Trump dominates Republicans
Raising his voice Thursday night to Trump supporters outside the building where the nation’s founding was debated, Biden said he did not condemn the 74 million people who voted for Trump in 2020. “Not all Republicans, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans,” Biden said. “But there is no doubt that the Republican Party today is dominated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans.” Biden’s appearance was promoted as a taxpayer-funded official event, a sign of how the president views defeating Trump’s agenda as much a policy goal as a political one. “There are far more Americans, of all backgrounds and persuasions, who reject the extreme MAGA ideology than there are who embrace it,” Biden said. He urged Americans to “come together, unite behind the single cause of defending our democracy regardless of your ideology.” Biden also condemned political violence in all its forms, saying, “We cannot allow violence to be normalized.” Biden, who has rarely mentioned Donald Trump by name over the past year, invoked him and his supporters several times during his speech. (Brandon Bell/Getty Images) Delivering a preemptive rebuttal from Scranton on Thursday night, U.S. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy accused Biden of trying to divide Americans and blasted the Democratic record in Washington, pointing to rising inflation, crime and unemployment. government spending. “Over the past two years, Joe Biden has launched an assault on the soul of America, on its people, on its laws, on its most sacred values,” he said. “He has launched an assault on our democracy. His policies have seriously wounded America’s soul, diminished America’s spirit, and betrayed America’s trust.” Asked about McCarthy’s criticism, White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre said “we understand we hit a nerve” with the Republican leader and cited previous statements by the Republican that Trump bore responsibility for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. .. Biden said MAGA Republicans are threatening to take the US backwards, “where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry the one you love.” (CBC) Larry Diamond, a democracy expert and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, said Trump’s call for attacks on democracy “can be manipulated or seen as partisan. It’s a significant challenge to the defense of democracy.” Even this week, Trump posted on his social media platform to overturn the 2020 election and hold a new presidential election, which would violate the constitution. Timothy Naftali, a presidential historian at New York University, said it’s not unusual for a president to have tension with his successor, but it is “unprecedented for a former president to actively try to undermine the U.S. Constitution.” “The challenge facing President Biden is to continue with his agenda while still doing what it takes to preserve the constitution,” Naftali said. “This is not easy.” Biden’s appearance Thursday night was promoted as a taxpayer-funded official event, a sign of how the president views defeating Trump’s agenda as much a policy goal as a political one. The major television networks did not carry the address live.
