United States: At a rally on Thursday, US President Joe Biden urged Democrats to defeat Republicans' "quasi-fascism" and maintain control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.

Biden took advantage of the growing enthusiasm within the party, which is convinced it could prevent a dangerous Republican victory on November 8, when he addressed hundreds of party supporters in Maryland, a state outside Washington.

Unlike the Republicans led by former President Trump, Biden declared, "We have chosen a different path forward: a future of unity, hope and optimism."

These will be two visions to choose from this fall. He said that we must present our arguments to the American people in a clear and concise manner.

Before his speech, Biden compared Trump's Make America Great Again or MAGA campaign to something "extreme."

The whole philosophy that supports -- I'm going to say something, it's like quasi-fascism, Biden said, not just Trump.
He continued in his speech by saying, "You need to vote to save democracy once again."

Democrats were in despair just a few weeks ago.
There were widespread hopes that Republicans would easily take control of at least one chamber of Congress, given that Biden's approval rating was less than 40% and the party appeared unable to perform well on many election promises.

But with his party controlling the Senate and, at the very least, reducing the size of a Republican victory in the House of Representatives, a dramatic August has sown the seeds of hope for some Democrats in what will be a political miracle.

The Maryland rally followed a string of legislative victories in Congress and was a backlash among many Americans against the conservative-dominated Supreme Court decision to end universal access to abortion.

Biden said that if Republicans took control of Congress, they would work to outlaw all forms of abortion, but added that the issue was activating the "mighty power" of female voters.

He noted the growing number of laws governing health care, the green economy and funding for high-tech investments, as well as limited but still politically significant approval of new gun safety rules.

He recently announced that millions of voters would be eligible for between US$10,000 and US$20,000 to cancel their often crippling student loans, which Democratic supporters have long demanded.

"Even our opponents have been forced to acknowledge real progress," he said with thunderous applause.

On the other hand, the drama surrounding Trump's dispute with the Justice Department and the FBI over his allegedly illegal removal of top-secret documents from the White House at his Florida Golf Club residence has caught the attention of Republicans.

The fact that opposition parties almost always punish the president's party in midterm elections is one reason Republicans were hoping for a big win.

Another is that Biden is very unpopular after a challenging year marked by new Covid variants and the highest inflation in 40 years. Since late June, his average approval rating has stuck below 40%, making him just as unpopular as Trump.

Republican Party leaders predicted a "red wave" to drive away "blue" Democrats following the redistribution of House seats, which was widely considered to be in favor of Republicans and would have effectively guaranteed them several additional seats. . was.

Currently, there is encouraging buzz of blue rip tides washing back in the opposite direction to the left.

In previous months, Republicans gave a modest 44-43.6 percent advantage to Democrats in baseline polls asked which party should control Congress.

There are also glimmers of hope for Biden's party in the individual race. On Wednesday, Democrats won a special election in the New York House swing district; This is exactly the type of district that Republicans predicted would turn red in the tide.

Even Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell claims the Senate is now more evenly divided. Democrats currently have a one-vote majority in the Senate, which was previously considered trending Republican.

According to McConnell, the House is more likely to change hands than the Senate.

The veteran insider cited the "quality" of his party's Senate candidates. It was a clear blow on some Republican candidates, who were chosen primarily for their populist, pro-Trump credentials rather than their popularity with the general public.

While terrible still, Biden's own turnout is beginning to improve as well.
His 44 percent approval rating on Thursday was the highest in a year, according to a Gallup poll. According to Gallup, it's actually a more favorable turnout for August than before the midterm elections for Donald Trump in 2018 or Barack Obama in 2014.
