Night before midterms, President Biden warned election were an ‘inflection point’ for democracy
President Joe Biden addressed Democrats at a rally in Bowie, Maryland on Monday evening ahead of Tuesday’s hotly-contested midterm elections, warning the crowd that the country is at an “inflection point” and that in order to save American democracy, Democrats must cast their ballots in great numbers.
“Today we face an inflection point. We know in our bones that our democracy’s at risk and we know that this is your moment to defend it,” Biden said to the audience at Bowie State University.
Biden also implored the audience to make the election decisive to avoid Republicans claiming they lost due to voter fraud. “Either they win or they were cheated,” he said.
Tuesday’s election is rife with neck-and-neck races, some of which will determine which party controls the US House and the Senate. Polling across the country on the eve of the election had some key races just fractions of a percentage point apart.
Biden’s call to Democrats comes as former president Donald Trump continues to tease a big announcement sometime in the coming days or weeks, with some of his top associates claiming he is ready to announce his candidacy for 2024.
President Biden has not officially announced his candidacy for 2024, but has mentioned running several times. Vice President Kamala Harris has also said the pair would run for a second term in the White House.
“Our lifetimes are going to be shaped by what happens the next year to three years,” Biden said at the rally for Wes Moore, Maryland candidate for governor. “It’s going to shape what the next couple decades look like.”

Considering the number of people who have been arrested related to vote related crimes one has to consider vote fraud a possibility. But remember, the Democrats are the ones who claim “vote fraud/vote interference/vote denial” on a regular basis when they lose and the ignore the evidence when they win.
And remember we are a Democratic Republic due to the inherent instabilities of Democracies.
