President Joe Biden will give a prime-time address tonight, being billed as “The Soul of the Nation.”

NBC News reports:

The president will lay out how America’s standing in the world and its democracy are at stake, the official said. Biden will highlight what he sees as progress over the past two years to protect our democracy, but note that rights and freedoms remain at risk.

According to officials, Biden “will make clear who is fighting for those rights, fighting for those freedoms, and fighting for our democracy,”
