President Biden claims that American democracy is "under threat."
"A turning point" has arrived in American history, U.S. President Joe Biden declared.
Commenting on the presidential election scheduled for November, he stressed that the outcome of the election will determine the country's political direction for decades, the White House press corps reported.
"I think: our democracy is under threat. This is not a joke. A lot is under threat. We are going through a turning point in history because everything is changing," the American leader said.
Earlier reports indicated that Biden's speech in New York had been interrupted by shouts from peaceful protesters.
