President Biden urged Democrats on Wednesday to show up at the polls during next week's midterm elections or "allow the dark forces that thirst for power" to chip away at American democracy.
Biden urged a crowd of supporters at a Democratic National Committee event inside Union Station in Washington, D.C. not to take the election for granted. The president argued that Democrats had to show up at the polls because Republicans could not be entrusted with political power.
"We're facing a defining moment," said Biden. "We must with one overwhelming, unified voice speak, as a country and say there's no place for voter intimidation or political violence in America."
During his remarks, Biden leaned heavily on past rhetoric painting the midterms as an opportunity to rebuff the GOP's political extremism.
"It's estimated that more than 300 [GOP] election deniers are on the ballot all across America this year," said Biden. "This is not about me … It's about the durability of our democracy."
Biden's comments come less than a week after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband was violently attacked in San Francisco, California. While the motive for the assault remains uncertain, Democrats have been quick to claim that years of GOP criticism made Pelosi and her family targets.
