We ran the numbers: There are 2,729 news articles covering this topic. 47% (1,271) are left-leaning, 34% (928) are centrist, and 19% (530) are right-leaning.

President Biden delivered a speech in Philadelphia denouncing MAGA Republicans. While left-leaning articles focus on how Biden believes Trump and his allies are trying to undermine American democracy, right-leaning articles focus on how Twitter users critiqued Biden and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for being divisive.

USA Today published a centrist article reporting on how Biden stated that “MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards.” Biden also urged Americans to “stand up” to defend democracy as “equality and democracy are under assault.” The president called out Donald Trump by name and accused him of stoking political violence. 

A left-leaning article from CNN highlights how Biden delivered his sharpest attack on Republicans and Trump to date, alleging that they “thrive on chaos” and that their apparent efforts to undermine democracy could lead to violence. Biden stated that Republicans “live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.”

A right-leaning article from Fox News highlights how White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was critiqued by Twitter users after stating that “the MAGA Republicans are the most energized part of the Republican Party. That is an extreme threat to our democracy, to our freedom, to our rights.” Twitter users believed that it was Jean-Pierre and Biden’s statements that actually are dividing the country.
