On Wednesday evening, President Joe Biden delivered a speech in Washington D.C. just days before the November midterm elections warning that the sanctity of democracy was on the line and that the United States was on a “path to chaos” amid growing fears of political violence. Left-leaning articles highlighted that while most Americans acknowledge democracy is in danger, nothing will be done of it, and right-leaning articles highlighted that Biden’s speech was inflammatory and accusatory of conservatives and Republicans.
USA Today published a centrist article writing that Biden reminded Americans that this November’s midterm elections are the first since the riot on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. It reported that Biden emphasized the dangers of candidates, particularly, Trump-esque MAGA Republicans, who question election results which do not benefit them.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted that Biden’s concern for the preservation of democracy has historic parallels with Senator Gerald Nye of North Dakota’s concerns about fascism in the 1940’s. It wrote that while voters recognize that democracy is in peril, they do not see that as a priority issue in the upcoming elections.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted that conservatives online repudiated Biden’s Wednesday speech, which accused Republican candidates of being election deniers and extremists who promote political violence. The article also highlighted that conservative radio host Buck Sexton described the speech as the most “ bizarre, tone deaf” of his presidency.
