President Biden\\u2019s Wednesday speech at Union Station in D.C. where he warned of the perils facing US democracy ahead of next week\\u2019s Midterms just wasn\\u2019t forceful enough, according to host Andy Levy on this week\\u2019s episode of political podcast, The New Abnormal. In his speech, Biden made reference to the hammer attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi\\u2019s husband Paul last week, warning the country faces escalating threats of political violence. He also criticized \\u200b\\u200bDonald Trump over the former president\\u2019s refusal \\u201cto accept the results of the 2020 election.\\u201d But it wasn\\u2019t enough, according to Levy and guest host Josie Duffy Rice, who writes about prisons and prosecution at The Unnamed. Also on the podcast, Mike Isaac, a technology correspondent for The New York Times discusses whether Twitter can survive under Elon Musk\\u2019s ownership.
