President Joe Biden plans to deliver a “major speech” on protecting democracy on Wednesday night after the violent attack on the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and with the midterm elections just days away.
In a hurriedly arranged speech, Biden will call on the nation to take threats to democracy seriously after a right-wing extremist broke into Pelosi's San Francisco home and severely injured her husband, Paul.
“There is a lot at stake, including democracy, (and) everyone has a role in that,” deputy White House chief of staff Jen O’Malley Dillon told Axios on Wednesday.
