US President Joe Biden will deliver a much-anticipated speech in Philadelphia. According to Biden, American democracy may be under threat.
President of the United States Joe Biden will give a speech at night, where he is expected to discuss the defense of democracy in the United States. Biden is scheduled to start his speech in Philadelphia at 03:00 Finnish time.
In a prime-time speech in the United States, Biden is expected to attack his predecessor Donald Trump and against the supporters of this. The speech is related to the midterm elections in the United States in November.
According to White House sources, Biden considers Trump and his supporters a threat to democracy in the United States. Biden has recently sharpened his criticism of Trump and Trump supporters.
Speaking in Maryland last week, Biden called Trump’s MAGA philosophy semi-fascist. MAGA is an abbreviation of Trump’s catchphrase “Make America Great Again” or, loosely translated, make America great again.
In Philadelphia, Biden is expected to recall the white supremacist riots in Charlottesville five years ago. Biden has said that he ran as a candidate in the 2020 presidential election in part precisely because of the events in Charlottesville. Biden is expected to say in his speech that the United States may be facing similar events in the coming months.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday that Biden believes that extremism threatens democracy in the United States. It is estimated that Biden will try to get moderate Republican supporters behind him with his speech in Philadelphia.
