Midterm elections latest news: Biden to deliver speech on democracy tonight near Capitol

With just six days until Election Day, President Biden plans to deliver a speech near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night on “preserving and protecting our democracy,” according to the Democratic National Committee, which is organizing the event. Biden will also address “the threat of election deniers and those who seek to undermine faith in voting and democracy,” the DNC said. Biden’s planned speech comes as Democratic and Republican candidates alike are honing their closing arguments in a slew of new ads directed at undecided voters and in a handful of remaining debates.
