By SEUNG MIN KIM
WASHINGTON (AP) In recent days, President Joe Biden has sharpened his attacks against Donald Trump and the so-called MAGA Republicans for posing a threat to democracy. Hes likened the philosophy undergirding the dominant strain of the modern-day GOP to semi-fascism.
And Democrats are taking notice.
The gloves-off, no-holds-barred approach from Biden as of late has emboldened Democrats across the country, rallying the party faithful ahead of the November elections even as his harshest rhetoric makes some vulnerable incumbents visibly uncomfortable.
Bidens increasingly stark warnings about Trump-fueled elements of the Republican Party are making up the core part of his midterm message, combined with repeated reminders to voters about recent Democratic accomplishments and a promise that democracy can still produce results for the American people. But its the blistering statements from Biden about his predecessor and adherents of the Make America Great Again philosophy that have given many Democrats a bolt of fresh energy as they campaign to keep control of Congress.
Its a particularly strong issue for our base, said Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan, who leads the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of Senate Democrats. Folks want us, want people to show that there is a clear contrast in the election between where Democrats are and Republicans have been.
