Biden's warning: 'Existential threat' of MAGA extremism looms, urges democracy defence

Hindustan Times  

President Biden's campaign recently dropped a powerful one-minute ad, titled "Cause," stressing the "existential threat" MAGA extremism poses to the U.S. FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Joe Biden speaks about efforts to strengthen United States supply chains that effect economic and national security, during the first meeting of the new White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience, in the Indian Treaty Room of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at the White House complex in Washington, U.S., November 27, 2023. And most important, our children and grandchildren will hold us responsible.” Timed before Biden's major 2024 reelection speech on the third anniversary of the Capitol attack, the ad underlines the fragility of America's democracy. The Biden campaign shifts gears, focusing on the "existential threat" posed by MAGA extremism, diverging momentarily from economic themes that dominated previous ads.
