WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will sound an alarm Thursday night about what he views as “extremist” threats to American democracy from the restive forces of Trumpism, aiming to reframe the November elections as part of an unceasing battle for the “soul of the nation.”
Nearly two years after he defeated Donald Trump, it’s a reprise of Biden’s 2020 campaign theme, casting the midterm election stakes in as dire terms as those that sent him to the Oval Office. His prime-time speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia will lay out what he sees as the risks from those he has dubbed “ultra-MAGA Republicans” to the nation’s system of government, its standing abroad and its citizens’ way of life.
The explicit effort by Biden to marginalize Trump and and his “Make America Great Again” adherents marks a sharp turn for the president, who preached his desire to bring about national unity in his Inaugural address. White House officials said it reflects his mounting concern about Trump conservatives’ ideological proposals and 2020 election denialism.
Biden, who had largely avoided even referring to “the former guy” by name during his first year in office, has grown increasingly vocal in calling out Trump personally. Now, emboldened by his party’s recent legislative wins and wary of Trump’s return to the headlines, Biden is sharpening his attacks.
At a Democratic fundraiser last week, Biden likened the “MAGA philosophy” to “semi-fascism.”

right out of alinsky’s playbook. al a obama and clinton
Josef Stolen: "We need to unify our nation by demonizing, raiding, and imprisoning my political opponents! We need to heal this country by spilling gallons of my opponents' blood! We will only have peace when we engage in unconstrained paroxyms of violence!"
IDIOT...we are a Republic not a Democracy.
I wouldn’t watch this POS if you paid me!!!
Biden builds out communism in the US.
Thank God we are not a democracy!!!
I will NOT be listening to the sexual perverts mumble jumble nor interested in anything he has to say. Ridiculous they still give this demented old corrupt liar face time on national TV.
Trump should announce a 2024 run in the middle of the speech.
No, it doesn’t.
AntiFa and BLM threaten democracy - they SAY so, blatantly.
Good, Let him keep talking. The more people see him,the worse he does.
Democracy is always threatened when Democrats lose votes.
With what is, in effect, a declaration of war from the Washington regime against MAGA, the late Barry Goldwater’s maxim that “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice” resonates now more than ever.

Biden, the Soul of the Nation? The Babylon Bee can’t outdo these clowns
So what Joe? Start arresting your political rivals?
This could only come from one of the most illegitimate, corrupt and f’ up regimes America has ever seen. All of the conservative right should rise up, band together and demand they stop trying to foment a bloody civil war.
I’ll bet Biden had nothing to do with this decision, although he agrees and he’s fine with it. This all comes from Obama and his evil CRT loving minions.
If he mentions Trump, MAGA or Republicans once, the GOP needs to demand equal time.
It was just a matter of time before it became evident that Trump is not the only target of the regime. All decent, patriotic Americans who share Trump’s vision of a great country are in the crosshairs as well.
NO because the Federal Election Laws would penalize him for the next year.
What I'd like to see him do is to repeat his escalator ride and go to the mike and read off all of the dirt you know he has on the Bidens. Put the onus on Joe, Hunter and that whole lash-up, book and verse! Do a Clinton on them!
