Who is popular today?

President Joe Biden delivered a stark closing speech at Bowie State University on November 7 – the eve of the midterm elections – promoting the candidacy of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wes Moore. “Today we face an inflection point… We know in our bones that our democracy’s at risk and we know that this is your moment to defend it,” Biden warned crowds of supporters at Bowie State University in Maryland. “I want you to know, we’ll meet this moment. Remember, the power in America lies where it always does: in your hands, the hands of the people.” Biden noted that Moore’s opponent, Republican state Del. Dan Cox, supported a rally on January 6, 2021, that preceded the storming of the US Capitol after Trump lost the 2020 election. ”Wes’ opponent supported that mob,” Biden said. “You can’t only love your country when you win.” According to reports, Cox wrote on social media during the Capitol riot that Vice President Mike Pence was “a traitor.” Media also reported Cox arranged for buses to take people to a “Stop the Steal” rally. He has said he left the event and did not take part in the march to the Capitol. Credit: Joe Biden via Storyful
