President Biden will deliver a prime-time address Thursday on the fight for democracy in America and “the continued battle for the soul of the nation,” a White House official said Monday, an address that is likely to confirm his growing rhetorical emphasis on the anti-democratic forces he sees as capturing much of the Republican Party.

Speaking at Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park, the president is expected to highlight his administration’s achievements and argue that the country’s democratic values will be at stake during the midterm elections.

“He will talk about the progress we have made as a nation to protect our democracy, but how our rights and freedoms are still under attack,” the official said. “He will make clear who is fighting for those rights, fighting for those freedoms, and fighting for our democracy.” The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the content of the speech.

Scooplet in here: the RNC is not paying for Trump’s legal bills related to the Mar-a-Lago document investigation

As directed by the Court's Preliminary Order, the United States will file a public response to Plaintiff's Motion for Blah Blah Blah ...

Trump has been cut off by Ronna. He has to pay for his own lawyers this time for his latest scandal on classified documents. They are reportedly still paying his legal bills on other matters as long as he doesn’t announce he is running before the midterms.

He desperately wants to announce he is running now because he thinks it will put more pressure on prosecutors not to indict him. But Rick Scott and Ronna are begging him not to yet because it will hurt their candidates in a lot of places, along with the campaign finance issues.
