US President Joe Biden has charged Donald Trump and his backers with “extremism” that poses a threat to democracy in the United States, urging all Americans to help counter what he portrayed as dark forces within the Republican Party.In a speech at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, Biden accused his predecessor Trump and those backing the Make America Great Again (MAGA) agenda as willing to overturn democratic elections, ignore the US Constitution and “take this country backwards” to a time without rights to abortion, privacy, contraception or same-sex marriage.“Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” Biden said. “As I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault. We do ourselves no favour to pretend otherwise.”
