View on XDuring his primetime speech, Biden told the nation that "as I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault."
"Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic," he declared.
Biden said that he believes the country is at an "inflection point," and that Americans "must choose to move forward, or to move backwards to build a future obsessed about the past, to be a nation of hope and unity and optimism or a nation of fear and division and of darkness.
"MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chairs. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies," he said.
