Biden is finally throwing the hard balls.

https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-speech-maga-midterms-maryland-1737226

Joe Biden repeatedly attacked the "extreme" MAGA (Make America Great Again) side of the GOP while saying he has "respect" for conservative Republicans during the president's first campaign speech ahead of the upcoming midterms.

Speaking to the crowd in Rockville, Maryland, Biden frequently mentioned his predecessor Donald Trump and his MAGA loyalists while suggesting that voters must decide in November whether they want a country that "moves forward or backward."

Biden added that he believes the U.S. is at an "inflection point," which occurs every few generations, and voters must now decide which direction they want to go in. "Will we build a future or obsess over the past? Will we be a nation of unity, of hope, of optimism? Not a nation of anger, violence, hatred and division," Biden said.

Hopefully people will welcome the 'new' future, and reject the ugly greed, hate and violence.

Go Joe!

I'd say the recent successes and prevailing comments are very well timed, that is, if this all happened too early, it would likely be burried in the past.

Very strategic!

Well done!

to catch it. I think the timing is perfect. I also think the release date anticipation has set up an appetite for it. Love hearing him a little angry.
