Faced with supporters of Donald Trump who “want to take back the country,” Americans must “defend” democracy, Joe Biden warned Thursday, according to excerpts released by the White House from an evening speech he will deliver in Philadelphia. .
American democracy is not “guaranteed” and “we have to defend it”, he assures, attacking the pro-Trump who defend, according to the Democratic president, an America “without the right to privacy, without the right to contraception, without the right to marry who you love”.
“Defend”, “protect” and “fight” for democracy
“We must defend it, protect it and fight for it,” Joe Biden also adds to talk about American democracy.
The US president is due to speak at 8 pm US time on “the continuing battle for the soul of the nation” near the building where the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were adopted. On a more tactical level, Pennsylvania, this eastern state where Philadelphia is located, may hold the key to the November midterm elections.
The current occupant of the White House recently accused supporters of Donald Trump of adhering to an ideology of “semi-fascism.” The term has outraged the conservative camp, which accuses the president of stoking divisions.
