President Joe Biden delivered his highly-anticipated prime-time address, where he called for an end to political violence

President Biden delivered his “battle for the soul of the nation” address at Independence Hall, in Pennsylvania. Democracy was front and centre for the President’s speech, calling on America’s to stand up for democracy.

“While the threat to America is real, we are not powerless in the face of these threats. There are far more Americans of every background and belief who reject the extreme MAGA ideology than those who accept it.”
President Joe Biden

The President told voters that Republicans are threatening the nations values and what it means to be American.

It’s never easy.

He encouraged them stand up for democracy and promised his administration will lead the country to success.

“For a long time, we’ve reassured ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed. But it is not. We have to defend it. Protect it. Stand up for it. That’s why tonight, I am asking the nation to come together and unite behind this single purpose – of saving our democracy.”
President Joe Biden

The President did not hold back, as he doubled down on his election victory and the defeat of Former President Donald Trump.

If we all do our duty, in 2022 and beyond, then ages still to come will say that we kept the faith.

We preserved our democracy.

And we proved that for all its imperfections, America is still the beacon to the world.
— President Biden (@POTUS) September 2, 2022

Biden repeatedly called out the “MAGA Republicans” for putting a stain on U.S. democracy, as riots engulfed the nation on January 6 last year.

He says the “MAGA Republicans” support authoritarian leaders and disrupt the rule of law.

The speech marks Biden’s second visit to Pennsylvania this week alone. The state is a key battleground for Democrats as the U.S. races towards November’s mid-term elections.

The location of the speech was fitting. Independence Hall is known as the birthplace of American democracy, and is the same place Biden launched his 2020 bid to become U.S. President.

You can’t love your country only when you win politically.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
