Biden walks back attacks on Trump voters in anti-MAGA speech

Biden on Friday tried to walk back some of his fiery political rhetoric from his primetime speech in Philadelphia a night earlier, denying that he attacked Donald Trump voters despite having repeatedly slammed "MAGA Republicans" allied with the former president.

  • "I do think anyone who calls for the use of violence, fails to condemn violence when it is used, refuses to acknowledge when an election has been won, insists upon changing the way in which the can count votes, that is a threat to democracy."

Biden on Friday appeared to be walking back his fiery rhetoric from just hours earlier despite saying in Philadelphia that "the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans."

  • The president's strident 24-minute speech outside of Independence Hall featured three mentions of Trump's name and 13 mentions of his "MAGA" - or Make America Great Again - political movement.

  • Last week, Biden said support for his predecessor, who is openly considering a 2024 White House run, amounts to "semi-fascism."
