The president delivered his warning in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol and just days after Paul Pelosi, husband of the speaker, was attacked.
Biden has spoken more forcefully about the threats Republicans pose to democracy in recent months. While he began alluding to “MAGA Republicans” in the spring — a moniker he uses to distinguish those aligned with Trump from more traditional conservatives — Biden addressed the issue in unusually blunt terms at a fundraiser in late August, warning that the GOP was headed toward “semi-fascism.”
The speech Wednesday evening was Biden’s most direct address about the threats the American democratic system faces since Sept. 1, when he delivered a speech outside Philadelphia’s Independence Hall and warned that “too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal.” Biden urged voters to be patient after the election, noting that rules for counting ballots mean that some outcomes might not be immediately clear.
Unlike their Democratic counterparts, many Republicans locked in key races across the country have refused to say whether they will accept the results of Tuesday’s election.
