Analysis: President Biden began the video announcing his reelection campaign with “freedom.” He uttered the word six times in three minutes as an attempt to reclaim the idea of freedom from Republicans who use it with a completely different meaning.
It’s a shift from his campaign launch four years ago, when he never used the word “freedom” and instead was far more focused on a fight. “We are in the battle for the soul of this nation,” he said then.Biden referred to that fight in his new video, saying the country still faces a battle, but he quickly turned back to his new favorite word.
“Ever since FDR did his four freedom speech, it’s almost a foundational text for the modern Democratic Party. Obama would quote from it a lot,” said Douglas Brinkley, the author and presidential historian. “It’s in the DNA of the Democratic Party to chant ‘freedom’ when election season comes around.”The concept of freedom became a key tenet of protest movements from civil rights to Vietnam. There was Freedom Summer in 1964, an effort to sign up Black voters in Mississippi.
Gov. Gavin Newsom is among those who has urged his party to contest that framing of the concept of freedom. Last year heaimed at Floridians, telling them “freedom is under attack in your state” and urging them to move to California, the true “freedom state.” “We have stood together to defend sovereignty, to defend democracy, to defend freedom for ourselves and all who wish it,” he said in Ottawa, speaking about shared Canadian and American aims.
