US President Joe Biden is set to deliver a prime-time speech Thursday in Philadelphia
President Joe Biden in Philadelphia today to deliver a prime-time speech at Independence Mall on what he calls a battle for the soul of the nation. Yesterday President Biden was in Wilkes Barre where he delivered remarks on his Safer America Plan that aims to reduce gun crime and save lives. Biden is also campaigning for Democrats Josh Shapiro and John Fetterman in Pennsylvania.
What do we know about this Prime Time Biden speech?
Crews have been out here all afternoon. The president will speak from Independence Hall. The part that faces Chestnut Street. The president's speech is set for 8 o'clock tonight.
Now it is important to note that the public will only be able to watch it on television where he is expected to say that the country is at a critical moment right now and a political expert told us that he agrees.
Professor Richardson Dilworth is the director of the department of politics at Drexel University. Looking at the state of American politics, he says the divisions are more than political theater.
The Republican party and the Democratic party are being reformulated with new forms of activists and a new generation of voters and activists who have a very different sense of politics and political participation. The political system is being tested by, among other things, gerrymanders, money, and social media.
The fact that this generation has grown up on social media gives them a very different sense of speech and the role of speech in politics. I think the real potential for the United States is the ability to sustain a multi-cultural democracy, which is a real challenge and something that's relatively rare in the history of democracies. Former President Donald Trump is also coming to Pennsylvania this week to campaign for Dr. Oz and Dough Mastriano in Wilkes Barre.
The White House says the president's speech will last about 20 to 30 minutes. Many landmarks will be close to the area. And also, September is going to have some issues as well with some of the stations around here.
