President Joe Biden is finding it’s easier to call out attacks on democracy than it is to stop them. In a speech earlier this month at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, Biden described democracy as “under assault” and pledged that it was the work of his presidency to defend it. “We have to defend it, protect it, stand up for it - each and every one of us.”Has Biden himself done enough? His push for voting rights legislation in Congress has for the most part fallen short. Nikki Haley called Biden “the most condescending president of my lifetime.”The struggle the nation is facing goes beyond political parties, though.
