Collective rhetoric and the outstretched hand of dissent are a thing of the past. Joe Biden, trying to establish his precarious grip on Congress during the fall elections, is now striking at the "extreme" right that supports Donald Trump's ideas.

Last Wednesday, during a speech on the economy, the Democratic president launched an extraordinary attack on Republican projects, and more specifically against what he called the "Make America Great Again" movement launched by Trump, known as "MAGA".

Biden said that this movement "is in fact the most extreme political organization in modern American history."

Through this, Joe Biden clearly targets former President Donald Trump, after he began his term with a desire to turn the page on Trump, by calling for unity and marketing major reform projects and praising the economic recovery and the successes achieved in combating "Covid-19".

Trump scarecrow

A few months before the historically difficult midterm elections for the president's party, Joe Biden has changed course, even though he is deeply unpopular with accelerating inflation.

It's no longer about making people forget Donald Trump, but rather by waving him like a scarecrow, without naming him directly.

Democrats also want to invest in an area they have so far seemed to avoid: "culture wars," the social debates that have moved America for decades but have escalated in recent years to the point of dividing the country into two hard-to-reconcile camps.

Hot topics include gender, sexual orientation, children's education, religion, firearms, racial issues, and reading American history, especially when it comes to slavery and discrimination.

Abortion is, of course, one of the hottest topics, and it was blew up on Monday, the POLITICO website revealed, that the US Supreme Court is preparing to abolish the constitutional right to abortion that it established in 1973.

Joe Biden, a devout Catholic, became the foremost advocate of the right to abortion.

Not only that, but he accuses the Republicans who decided to ban abortion in many of the states they control, of wanting to harm other societal achievements such as pregnancy or marriage for all who wish to do so, regardless of their gender.

"What would happen if a state said LGBT children could no longer go to the same classrooms as other children?" he asked Wednesday.

Evil camp

It is clear that Joe Biden, unable to convince Americans of his successes, intends to paint the opposite camp as the camp of evil.

But it remains to be seen how far Donald Trump will leave his mark on the Republican campaign for the midterm elections.

The billionaire has commented with unusual discipline on the possibility of the Supreme Court backtracking on a guarantee of the right to abortion.

In an interview with the conservative Fox Channel website, Trump did not praise the Supreme Court for making his mark after appointing three of its nine judges.

He said he believed the question of the right to abortion should be left to the states, declaring that he had supporters in both camps.

According to all the polls, a majority of Americans do not want to reconsider the right to abortion as it is.

But on Tuesday, Ohio - an industrial state in the Midwest - underlined Trump's continuing influence on the party, after his Republican primary supporter, J.D. Vance, secured his nomination for the incumbent Democratic senator seat.

"I have to thank the 45th President of the United States," said the candidate, who previously criticized the Republican billionaire before declaring his support for him.
