"In September last year, US President Joe Biden spoke to Americans from the
“sacred ground” of Independence Hall in Philadelphia – the birthplace of the
Constitution of the United States. In that landmark speech, Biden warned
Americans, and indeed the world, that:
Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens
the very foundations of our republic.
Less than a year later, American democracy is being subjected to yet another
stress test – one to add to an already exhaustingly long list.
As former President Donald Trump has been indicted for the second time in
months – this time on federal charges – Biden must navigate uncharted
territory. He could soon be faced with trying to win an election against an
opponent being prosecuted by the government he leads.
At the same time, as he said in September, Biden is attempting to unite
Americans “behind the single purpose of defending our democracy”.
Is it possible for a president to do both at once?"
