With the midterm elections drawing closer, US President Joe Biden has sought to make the case for Democratic candidates in a race that would determine whether the Democratic Party maintains its control of Congress. Biden warned that Republicans who refuse to accept the election results if they lose pose a threat to the country’s democracy.
In remarks at Washington Union Station in DC Wednesday, Biden warned that the threats of Republican candidates who refuse to accept the election results should they lose poses a threat to the country’s democracy. Biden’s remarks come ahead of the midterm elections that will take place on November 8.
The US leader also cited the recent break-in in the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, where the assailant attacked her husband, Paul Pelosi, and sought to kidnap her. Biden said that the attack was proof that the country’s democracy is threatened since the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
“The assailant entered the home, asking ‘Where’s Nancy? Where’s Nancy?’ Those were the very same words used by the mob when they stormed the US Capitol on January 6,” said the US leader.
“As I stand here today, there are candidates running for every level of office in America – for governor, for Congress, for attorney general, for secretary of state – who won’t commit to accepting the results of the elections they’re in,” said Biden, adding that those who have denied the election results have been inspired by his immediate predecessor Donald Trump, who refused to concede to Biden when the Republican incumbent lost the 2020 elections.
“He refuses to accept the will of the people, he refuses to accept that he lost,” said the US leader.
In his visit to New Mexico on Thursday, Biden sought to appeal to younger voters during his three-day tour in the state as he spoke at a community college about the Biden administration’s move to cancel billions of dollars of student debt loans.
The US leader said his student debt cancellation policies and the state’s Democratic governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s free college tuition program aimed to encourage the youth to get the skills they need to compete in today’s economy.
