Joe Biden visited the lion’s den. At least that’s how one of his advisors put it a few days ago, although the English wording sounded a bit more dramatic: the belly of the beast – the belly of the beast. The consultant also said exactly where in the United States this cave, or stomach, is located, namely in Atlanta, Georgia. Biden then made it clear who the beast is in his speech he gave there on Tuesday afternoon: the Republicans who “hold the dagger to the throat” of democracy in America.
