President is expected to cast midterms as high-stakes battle for the ‘soul of the nation’ in primetime address from Philadelphia
Joe Biden will warn on Thursday that an “extremist” faction of the Republican party loyal to former president Donald Trump presents a direct threat to American democracy.
In a primetime address from Philadelphia, the city where American democracy was born, Biden is expected to cast the November midterm elections as a high-stakes battle for the “soul of the nation”, reprising a theme that animated his campaign for the White House in 2020.
