The current president has cloaked America in darkness for much too long. Too much anger. Too much fear. Too much division.

As president, the first step I will take will be to get control of the virus that’s ruined so many lives.

I will work as hard for those who didn’t support me as I will for those who did.

I believe we can find the light once more.

Decency, honor, respect ' treating people with dignity' this is the code I've always lived by. It was my parents' code, and it will be my code as president.

The buck never stops there.

A presidential election is the world's most important job interview.

I’ve seen his talent. I’ve seen his strength. I’ve seen his pain and I’ve seen his heart. That man is Joe Biden.

Let me offer you just a few examples of how Joe will move us forward.

Now we need a leader as good as our people, a leader who appeals to the best within us, not the worst.

Joe Biden is what I call America tough, tough in the best way.

Donald Trump didn’t create the initial division. The division created Trump, he only made it worse.

I know Joe Biden will begin that fight on day one.

We need a president who is going to dig in, do the hard work, and actually get it done.

I'm the only one on this stage that actually got anything done on health care.

I'm running for president to restore the soul of this country.

When he makes these grand proclamation through his big tweets, what he is doing I believe intentionally is trying to create fear in these individuals and these families. And that is not the sign of a strong president. Strength -- the display of strength in my book is you lift people up. You don’t beat them down.

We cannot be ignorant of the history of race in this country, and certainly anyone who is a leader should not be.
