President Joe Biden warned of the “assault” on American institutions and talked of the threat of Vladimir Putin using nuclear weapons at an issue-heavy fundraiser on Thursday at the New York home of James Murdoch, the son of Rupert Murdoch.
The event raised money for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, hoping to retain the party’s majority in the chamber. Murdoch has backed away from his father’s media empire and diverges from his politics: He backed Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign, at one point chipping in $615,000 to the Biden Victory Fund, according to Federal Election Commission records.
According to a pool report, Biden told attendees at the event that “this is not your father’s Republican party.” He said that there was an “assault on all these institutions,” naming the White House and the Supreme Court.
The president’s starkest warning was about Vladimir Putin, who finds himself stalled in his efforts to invade Ukraine. Biden said that the United States would continue to support Ukraine, but also spoke of the nuclear threat.
“First time since the Cuban missile crisis we have a direct threat of the use of nuclear weapons if in fact things continue down the path they are going,” he said, invoking John F. Kennedy’s standoff with Nikita Khrushchev, sixty years ago this month.
“I’m trying to figure out, what is Putin’s off ramp?” Biden said. “Where does he find a way out? Where does he find himself in a position that he does not only lose face but lose significant power within Russia?”
Biden said that Putin is “not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons of biological or chemical weapons because his military is, you might say, significantly underperforming.”

The 31-year-old basketball star - who normally lives in Houston, Texas with wife Cherelle Griner - was arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling in Russia just days before the country launched the ongoing invasion on Ukraine in February and in August, she was sentenced to nine years behind bars. Although US President Joe Biden has vowed to ensure the sportswoman's freedom, Yury Ushakov - one of the Russian leader's top advisors and the country's ambassador to America from 1998 to 2008 - suggested this was nothing more than a bid to bolster support ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
