We need to help people get through a hard time, not let them fall through the cracks.

When I was in high school, my best friend was being molested by her stepfather. That experience drove me to want to protect others.

I created a whole unit dedicated to focusing on children who were being abused and ensuring they have dignity in the process.

The heroes of the civil rights movement, like Thurgood Marshall, inspired me to go to law school.

I'm the first vice president, I believe, who has ever grown chili peppers.

I called you Tim, and you didn't answer.

My parents met when they were activists in the civil rights movement.

It's about creating policies that help people live with dignity.

We are at a pivotal moment in our history. We must stand together to protect our freedoms and ensure a better future for all Americans.

We will not sit back and allow our freedoms to be eroded. We must fight for the soul of this nation, and I am ready to lead that fight.

Let’s be clear, the stakes in this election couldn’t be higher. The choices we make in November will shape the future of this country for generations to come.
