Biden calls 'MAGA' Republicans most 'extreme' group in U.S. history

President Joe Biden stoked bipartisan divisions on Wednesday by delivering a pointed speech from the White House in which he warned of “MAGA” Republicans’ “extreme” agenda.

“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that has existed in American history,” Biden said, referencing former President Trump’s “Make America Great” movement, Breitbart reported.

The Democratic president then backtracked, explaining that he meant Trump’s base represents the most extreme political group in “recent” American history.

Later, when asked by reporters about the recent SCOTUS leak and the possibility of the Supreme Court overturning Roe V. Wade, Biden responded noted that “this is about a lot more than abortion” and warned that Republicans could go as far as passing a law to prevent “LGTBQ children” from attending government funded schools.  

“Let me tell you about this ultra-MAGA agenda, it’s extreme,” Biden said.

Shortly after Justice Alito’s majority draft opinion was leaked to Politico, the president told reporters that Roe v. Wade “should not be overturned.”

"I believe that a woman’s right to choose is fundamental, Roe has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned,” he said on Tuesday.

Although Biden’s approval ratings have hovered at abysmally low levels across the country, a recent poll shows that even voters in his home state of Delaware are growing tired of the 79-year-old Democratic leader.

According to data from a recent Tuesday Morning Consult poll, Biden’s approval rating in his home state is only 50% -- dropping from 62% at a similar period last year. Similarly, 45% of Delaware voters appear to disapprove of the president, up from 32% last year.

To paint a clearer picture, the data shows that Biden’s net approval rating is only +4 in Delaware – a noticeable drop from the near +30 rating he enjoyed last year.

Currently, Delaware is one of only ten states – including Vermont, California, Washington, New York, and Maryland --where Biden’s approval rating has not hit rock bottom.

In 33 states, however, things don’t look good for the president or his party as they prepare for this year’s midterm elections – especially in “conservative enclaves such as West Virginia and Wyoming, to battlegrounds that were pivotal to his 2020 victory, such as Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia,” the poll noted.

The president’s approval rating has dropped by more than 20 percentage points in all Senate and most Congressional battleground states. In Colorado, where Biden won in 2020 by some 14 points, for example, Biden’s net approval rating stands at -2 (47-49%).

Ultimately, Biden’s poll numbers could mean bad news for Democrats as they prepare to defend the House and Senate from Republican control in November.

According to an analysis from Breitbart:

Republicans could be on the verge of a historic election. In the Senate, polling released on Thursday showed voters heavily favoring Republicans by nine points on a generic ballot (48-39 percent). The generic ballot is important because it indicates congressional Republicans have a national advantage over Democrats regardless of the candidate. In specific Senate races, Republicans are leading in Arizona, New Hampshire, Georgia, and Nevada.

In the House, Cook Political Report, David Wasserman, believes Republicans will have a huge advantage. Cook estimates only 15 Republican districts either lean Republican or are likely Republican holds. In contrast, 27 Democrat-held districts either lean that way or are likely Democrat districts.
