CBSN
Washington — President Biden is poised to deliver a speech on Wednesday night centered on democracy with the midterm elections now less than one week away, two of his top White House aides said.
Jen O'Malley Dillon, the White House deputy chief of staff, said during an event hosted by Axios that Mr. Biden will reiterate his warning that democracy is at stake this election cycle and that "everyone has a role in that."
"I think the other thing that will be really important, and something you heard from President Biden in 2020, was that people are going to be able to vote. Over 25 million already have. They are voting all across the country," she said. "In some places where we will have a lot of attention focused, the votes will be counted and take a few days to be counted, because that's how democracy works, to make sure every vote is counted. So he'll highlight that as well."
