In speech in Arizona on the importance of democracy, Biden will announce a facility honoring his former Republican colleague
“represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” It was a remarkable assertion from a sitting U.S. president to pinpoint his predecessor and his followers as a grave threat to the stability of the 246-year American experiment.
In his third address on democracy, just before the 2022 midterm elections, Biden warned that candidates who refuse to accept legitimate election results couldCindy McCain, who served as Biden’s ambassador to the United Nations’s agencies for food and agriculture, is expected to attend Thursday’s speech, as are other members of the McCain family, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and members of the state’s congressional delegation.
Biden and McCain served together in the Senate for more than two decades, developing an unusually close relationship and in retrospect coming to represent a period of greater comity among figures from different parties. McCain requested that Biden speak at his funeral in August 2018, while his family made it clear they wanted Trump, who was then the sitting president, to stay away. “All politics is personal — it’s all about trust,” Biden, Biden grew visibly emotional as he recalled trips they took and battles they fought.“I admit to my Democratic friends, I’m the guy that encouraged John to go home and run for office — for real,” Biden said then.
That sentiment has allowed Biden to hold up McCain as a symbol of the values that he shares and that, he contends, Trump repudiates.
