president of the united states call his predecessor a threat to this country. that s exactly what we heard tonight from president joe biden about donald trump and trumpism in his renewed battle for the soul of america campaign, this time ahead of the midterms. what is happening today in america, he says, is not normal. donald trump and the maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. they promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country. they look at the mob that stormed the united states capitol on january 6th, brutally attacking law enforcement, not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger at the throat of our democracy, but they look at them as patriots. and they see their maga failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2
