Biden Speech On Defending Democracy Underway Shortly

President Biden will deliver a speech shortly in Arizona honouring the legacy of the late Senator John McCain and highlighting a threat to democracy from "extreme MAGA Republicans." Livestream: Here.

• Biden will say: “...there is something dangerous happening in America. There is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. The MAGA Movement... Their extreme agenda, if carried out, would fundamentally alter the institutions of American Democracy as we know it.”
• The Washington Post reports: “It’s the fourth in a series of democracy speeches Biden has made since he took office and the second delivered in a swing state. Biden warned last year in Philadelphia that “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic” — a speech that Republicans criticized at the time as partisan and divisive.”
