President Joe Biden delivered a stark warning to Americans that the future of the nation’s democracy could rest on next week’s midterm elections. “We can’t take democracy for granted any longer,” the president said from Union Station in the US Capitol where a mob attempted to interrupt the certification of the 2020 election. Biden blamed upon his predecessor, Donald Trump, for dire national situation, accusing the former president of cultivating a lie that has metastasized into a web of conspiracies that has already resulted in targeted violence. “American democracy is under attack because the defeated former president refuses to accept the will of the people,” Biden said.
