WASHINGTON– President Joe Biden is speeding up his offensive and promoting a message of democracy in peril, fueled by a string of recent political victories.
But questions are mounting in battleground states about whether the president's somber tone Thursday night in Pennsylvania and stark warnings about the state of the union will have any impact – or even if it's necessary.
According to several commentators, the fact that Democrats are the party of abortion rights two months out from the midterm elections is the finest winning campaign argument for them. According to numerous polls and primary outcomes, the Dobbs decision that reversed Roe v. Wade in June has been the major incentive for voters and has cross-party popularity.
"Roe inspires women more than a woman running for office in 2016 or 2020. Cross-party voters, new voters, and swing independents are being attracted by it "according to Adrian Hemond, CEO of Grassroots Midwest.
However, this week the president has given less attention to that persuasive message and more attention to his predecessor and those who support the Make America Great Again movement.
The MAGA forces are committed to regressing this nation, "added Biden. Later, he urged all Americans to show greater dedication to preserving democracy. "We have convinced ourselves for a very long time that American democracy is secure, but it is not. It needs our support, protection, and advocacy. Every single one of us."
Timing of Biden's speech is in dispute The message delivered by the president on Thursday night was one Michigan voters could have done without.
According to Hemond, Republicans are unlikely to pay attention, and Roe has more of an impact on Democrats and independents.
