President Joe Biden will deliver a speech at Union Station on Wednesday night, just six days before Democrats are predicted to suffer sweeping losses in the midterm elections.
Biden is set to give remarks on “preserving and protecting our democracy as Election Day approaches,” according to a press release from the Democratic National Convention.
The event is expected to start around 7 p.m. EDT.

Senior adviser to the president Anita Dunn and White House deputy chief of staff Jen O’Malley Dillon previewed Biden’s remarks Wednesday morning.
“Biden has been speaking about democracy for the entire time he’s been in office,” O’Malley Dillon explained during an Axios live panel. “You can expect to hear from him this evening, similar to what he’s been saying over the course of the last several months, that there is a lot at stake, including democracy, and that everyone has a role in that.”
