"Biden's Warning: Trump's Movement Threatens American Democracy"

President Joe Biden delivered a speech in Phoenix, Arizona, warning of the threats to American democracy and honoring the late Senator John McCain. Biden emphasized the importance of standing up against attacks on democracy and condemned the extremist MAGA movement. He announced plans to use funding from the American Rescue Plan to build a McCain Library in partnership with the McCain Institute. Biden highlighted the need for another term to preserve democratic institutions under fire from former President Donald Trump and warned that American democracy would be in peril if a Republican wins the White House in 2024. The speech coincided with Republican dysfunction on Capitol Hill, where a few extremist GOP House members are risking a government shutdown by holding up votes on government funding.
