Former secretaries of state
It is illegal under Federal law and Colorado law to intimidate voters and we won't allow any of that to happen.
Removing access during a pandemic is voter suppression. And that's why I believe we need a national law ensuring that all Americans have access to a mail ballot, hundreds of drop boxes, hundreds of voting centers, online voter registration.
I think overall, you know, despite the roadblocks that are being put up, Americans are showing up in record numbers. We are seeing record early voting and I think that's a great thing for our democracy.
These proceedings, I believe, lack legitimacy in the eyes of the people of our country. Americans are right now suffering from a deadly pandemic and we are also suffering an historic economic crisis. The Senate should be working day and…
They literally have been value-added in every single state in every single district where a Democrat is running on the ticket.
The objective for Democrats is two steps -- build power and then use power.
Well, we've been very safe and, you know, again, the president has made fun of us. But we wear masks. We, you know, social distancing.
I think many people, contrary to what the president and these political people are trying to play, are very excited about the fact that we have the potential to elect the second Catholic -- practicing Catholic ever to be president of the…
And when we take back the Senate and have the majority, we will have a lot to do with whether or not we are one step closer to those ideals we hold dear.
People are scared. You're right. Civil rights are on the line. Workers' rights are on the line. Consumer rights are on the line. Health care is on the line.
It is unconscionable, what they are doing. And they should be held accountable, because this is, again, a distraction from the failures of this administration, which is COVID and all that it has caused in terms of harm.
Let the American people decide who will fill that seat in the White House, and then fill the seat in the United States Supreme Court. Anything less than that is really contrary to, I think, the best principles about what we do in a…
I have faith in the American people and in our democracy. And there's no question, Rachel, that many of us believe that Donald Trump has been a threat to our democracy and the integrity of our democratic institutions.
Joe's been clear. He's keeping his promise. And early in the summer, they worked out a schedule with the commission. And Joe's sticking to his word.
These tactics are not new. But what I'm seeing, Rachel, in this election in 2020 is, the voters will not be deterred.
The point that I will make -- and I think it is an important one 20 days before the election -- is that there in every state, many states, are obstacles being purposely thrown at voters, because there are certain people that are afraid…
It is within our power to change the trajectory of this. And I am fully confident that people will do that.
Joe Biden, who has been modeling the right behavior in terms of wearing a mask.
Can you imagine if we had to deal with two more years of him?
The president and this administration have been the greatest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country.
Prior to your nomination, were you aware of President Trump's statements committing to nominate judges who will strike down the Affordable Care Act? And I'd appreciate a yes or no answer, please.
