Biden mainly talked about how former President Donald Trump and his followers, so-called "MAGA Republicans", were a threat to the country.[1] Biden also talked about law and order issues around stricter gun laws and his support for the Department of Justice's and the FBI's investigation into Trump.[2]
Biden also called Trump supporters as "semi-fascists".[1] On September 4 in a rally, Trump called the speech "the most vicious, hateful, and divisive speech ever delivered by an American president."[3]
