President Joe Biden used the word "democracy" dozens of times in an impassioned speech about what he sees as a critical crossroads for the United States because of Republicans backed by former President Trump. Mr. Biden said they pose a threat to American democracy. He made it clear who he considers responsible.

President Joe Biden believes the United States is at a critical crossroads. On Thursday evening he made it clear who he held responsible.

"There is no doubt that the Republican Party today is dominated, run and feared by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country," he said.

Mr. Biden spoke for 25 minutes, during which he mentioned the word "democracy" 25 times.

He denounced Republicans associated with Mr. Trump who echo his false claim that the 2020 election was stolen, those who seek to suppress voter turnout in key states and those who participated in or encouraged the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

But he also expressed optimism about what he sees as a better future under the leadership of his party, whose recent legislative victories he held up as proof.

"We can choose a better path to the future. A future of opportunity, a future of fulfilling dreams and hope. We are following that path."

Before the speech, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy accused President Biden of divisiveness.

"When the President speaks today, the first words out of his mouth should be to apologize for labeling tens of millions of Americans as fascists," he said.

This is Mr. Biden's second visit this week to the state of Pennsylvania, which is seen as a battleground between his party's Democrats and Mr. Trump's Republicans in November's congressional elections.

Earlier in the day, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized that this was more than a campaign speech.

"It's about the fundamental struggle around the globe between autocracy and democracy and the fact that democracy is vital for this country to move forward," she said.

Analysts observe that Mr. Biden's recent legislative victories and priorities do not closely match the themes of the speech.

"We're starting to see what the issues are in Democrats' favor: gun control is one of them, democracy is another. And it's interesting that he hasn't done much in the way of legislation in either of those areas. And yet those are the issues that he's dealing, but not with the intention of making policy right now: with the hope of a Democratic victory in November," says William Howell, professor of American politics at the University of Chicago.

Historianët që studiojnë retorikën presidenciale thonë se toni i zotit Biden ka ndryshuar dukshëm me afrimin e zgjedhjeve për Kongresin.

"Unë besoj se intensifikimi i retorikës nga presidenti dhe demokratët e tjerë po funksionon. Ka prova që shumë votues të pavarur - jo votues të zotit Trump, - veçanërisht gratë, madje edhe në shtetet konservatore, si Teksasi dhe Kansas, kanë humbur durimin me obstruksionizmin republikan, me lajmet për shkeljen e ligjit nga ish-presidenti Trump. Sa më shumë të jetë ai në lajme, aq më mirë duken demokratët", thotë Jeremi Suri, profesor historie në Universitetin e Teksasit në Austin.

Por të enjten në mbrëmje në Filadelfia, presidenti e tha fjalën votë vetëm tetë herë, duke zgjedhur të paraqesë vizionin e tij për Amerikën.

"We are the United States of America, the United States of America. And God bless our nation. And God bless all those who defend our democracy. God bless you all. Thank you."

It remains to be seen which worldview will triumph when Americans exercise their right to vote in November./ VOA
