Democracy is under attack - Joe Biden slams Donald Trump

From Morning Report, 6:50 am on 5 September 2022

US president Joe Biden says democracy is under attack from Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans.

Former US president Trump turned out to a Republican rally in Philadelphia to back TV doctor Mehmet Oz, the Republican candidate for US Senate, and Doug Mastriano, the candidate for governor.

Trump used the platform to label Biden an "enemy of the state".
