The leader of the Republicans in the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, accused President Joe Biden of launching an attack against democracy, shortly before the president gave his speech precisely on democracy in the country.
“For the past two years, Joe Biden has launched an assault on the soul of the United States, its people and its most sacred values. He has launched an attack against our democracy”, reproached the congressman from Pennsylvania.
McCarthy cited economic and security problems in the United States, saying that “never has an Administration promised so much and achieved so little” , and called on US citizens to “change direction” in the midterm elections to be held in November.
“Washington and the White House are not listening (…) The United States is becoming increasingly poorer, less safe and less free,” the legislator said in a speech before Republican voters.
The congressman criticized the social spending policies of the Biden administration and accused him of generating the “greatest inflation crisis” in the country’s history.
McCarthy also pointed out the US executive for creating an “immigration crisis” at the border.
Therefore, encouraged to participate in the November elections member to the House of Representatives and the Senate, currently controlled by the Democrats.
“Our nation can flourish again with a new Republican majority”, said the congressman.
Instead of trying to bring our country together to solve the MANY problems he has created, President Biden has chosen to divide, demean, and disparage his fellow Americans—simply because they disagree with his policies.

According to Jean-Pierre, the mandate ario will talk about “American democracy” and about the “fundamental struggle between democracies and autocracies around the world”.
“It will go far beyond a party or a specific person. It will be an optimistic speech about where we are as a Nation and where we can go”, he asserted.
