Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskApocalyptic warnings and divisive tactics are Mr Trump’s stock in trade. They are more surprising coming from Mr Biden. That he has felt it necessary to resort to them is yet another sick triumph for Mr Trump over what was once normal in American politics.
Republicans seem even more persuaded of this than Democrats, maybe because many accept Mr Trump’s claims that the investigations into his doings are politically motivated or that he won the 2020 election. According to a poll at the end of August byNews/YouGov, 45% of people who voted for Mr Biden in 2020 believe that a generation from now America will be “less of a democracy”, compared with 71% of those who voted for Mr Trump.
Having amassed substantial legislative achievements, Mr Biden chose to go on the offensive as summer’s end heralded the intense phase of the midterm campaigns. Gone is the benevolent peacemaker; in his place is a feisty partisan. With speeches in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he has attacked Mr Trump and “Republicans”.
