WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Following weeks of internal White House strategy sessions, U.S. President Joe Biden and his aides have devised "a confrontational election-season approach" that focuses on Biden's accomplishments coupled with an aggressive political assault on the Republicans, reported The New York Times (NYT) on Wednesday.

With just two months until the midterm elections, Biden is leaning into more political attacks, that's "in part because of what he sees as a growing embrace of violent political speech by Republicans and a threat to the democratic process of governing," said the report.

His aides also said he was dismayed by the number of Trump-backed election deniers who have won Republican primaries for governor or secretary of state across the country.
