‘It’s unprecedented, illegal and anti-American’: Six days before the midterm elections on Wednesday, US President Joe Biden warned candidates willing to reject the results of the vote, assuring that it ‘opens the way to chaos. “We can no longer take democracy for granted,” the Democratic leader warned gravely two months after a similar speech in Philadelphia.
President Biden was speaking a stone’s throw from the Capitol, the seat of the United States Congress, which supporters of Donald Trump, confident of his 2020 election victory, attacked in a nameless chaos on January 6, 2021.
“I wish I could say that the attack on our democracy ended that day. But I can’t,” said Joe Biden, who says 300 candidates are poised to withhold voting results in the Nov. 8 election, the first nationwide ballot since that attack. “There are candidates running at all levels of the American administration (…) who refuse to accept the results of the elections in which they are candidates,” the White House tenant warned, carefully emphasizing that supporters of the ” big lie,” the big lie, represented only a “minority” of the Republican party.
“trick”
In this election, Americans are called upon to renew all seats in the American House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. A host of gubernatorial and local electoral offices are also at stake.Democrats.
The Republican continues to denounce the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, asserting that the election was stolen from Donald Trump despite ample evidence to the contrary. This 50-year-old also threatened not to recognize the result of her own election. “I’m going to win the election, that’s the result I’m going to accept,” the candidate told CNN. And far-right candidate Mark Finchem, a member of the Oath Keepers militia, could well become Arizona’s next secretary of state, responsible for organizing and overseeing the vote.
Former President Donald Trump, who never admitted losing the 2020 presidential election, also appears to be preparing to challenge the outcome of the midterms should they turn out unfavorable to Republicans. “This paves the way for chaos in America,” pounded Joe Biden, also urging the country to oppose “political violence and voter intimidation.”
Assault on Nancy Pelosi’s husband
As an example, the President cited the case of Paul Pelosi, the husband of Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, who was attacked with a hammer at his home on Friday morning. The attacker stated that he was indeed looking for the American leader. Some election officials and elected officials also said they noticed an increase in threats and intimidation.
The people promoting these theories are “resolute and manage to be heard,” warned Joe Biden, who tries to somehow focus the debate on protecting democracy as Republicans attack him for his economic record.
The Republicans accuse the Democratic President of “cruel” inflation management and are increasingly confident of depriving him of his majority in Congress. However, 36% of Americans believe inflation is the country’s “most pressing” problem, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.
Abortion rights, for which Democrats have tried to mobilize their base, come second at just 10%. The polls are at 6%. According to the latest opinion polls, the Republican opposition has a very good chance of taking over the chamber. The fate of the Senate remains uncertain.
