He also touted the John Lewis Voting Rights Act but neither bill stands a realistic prospect of reaching his desk while Republicans hold 50 Senate seats and are able to deploy the filibuster, which requires a majority of 60 in the 100-seat chamber. Yet Biden did not address the issue.

He warned: “So hear me clearly. There’s an unfolding assault taking place in America today, an attempt to suppress and subvert right to vote in fair and free elections, an assault on democracy, an assault on liberty, an assault on who we are, who we are as Americans. But make no mistake, bull...

Biden noted that the rest of the world was watching, saying that he had just returned from G7 and Nato meetings in Europe.

“That’s not democracy, it’s a denial of the right to vote. It suppresses, it subjugates, the denial of full and free and fair elections, the most un-American thing that any of us can imagine, the most undemocratic, most unpatriotic.”

The crowd clapped enthusiastically. In a clear swipe at Trump’s refusal to accept defeat, Biden continued: “In America, if you lose, you accept the results. You follow the constitution. You try again. You don’t call facts ‘fake’ and then try to bring down the American experiment just be...
