Biden Says Democracy at Risk in Pre-Midterm Address
US President Joe Biden warned American democracy was at “risk” in an address in Washington on Wednesday night, November 2, ahead of next week’s midterm elections.
In his 20 minute speech, the president condemned political violence and election denialism, pointing to last week’s attack on US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, at their San Francisco home.
Biden said Americans “must vote knowing what’s at stake”, adding that the upcoming elections were not only about policy, “but institutions that have held us together as we’ve sought a more perfect union are also at stake.”
“We must vote knowing who we have been, what we’re at risk of becoming,” he said.
Biden said denying the outcome of elections was “damaging” and “corrosive”, adding that acknowledging election results was fundamental to democracy.
“As I stand here today, there are candidates running for every level of office in America, for governor, for Congress, for attorney general, for secretary of state, who won’t commit to accepting the results of the elections they’re in," he said, adding that it was "the path to chaos in America.”
“It’s unprecedented. It’s unlawful. And, it is un-American," Biden said. Credit: Democratic National Committee via Storyful
