We believe this framework has the votes that can pass the Senate and pass the House.

I am confident that this package can pass the Senate.

The number of families with kids that don`t have enough to eat dropped by nearly a quarter.

It was a great honor and a privilege to serve under President Obama and help keep Americans safe and it’s an equal privilege now to serve under President Biden.

These are the kinds of positive steps that President Biden and the Democrats in Congress have enabled to benefit Americans directly and immediately.

What President Biden wants to do and it’s vitally important and he’s proposed this through his American Families Plan, is to extend the same benefit, the same $3,600 a year for every child under 6, the same $3,000 for every child age 6 to…

The expectation is that this action, this child tax credit will help us cut child poverty in this country in half this year, which is huge.

This is cash money in people`s bank accounts that they can plan for and spend against. And it`s vitally important because our children are the most vulnerable in our society. They need this support.

Every day, Rachel, you turn on your television, and somebody else is being shot and killed on our streets, often by police. And this cannot continue. It cannot continue.

It`s absolutely urgent that we get real policing reform, meaningful policing reform, legislation like that in George Floyd`s name through the House as it has been and now through the Senate.

In the first week of the administration, President Biden issued a presidential memorandum instructing his government to acknowledge and to root out anti-Asian bias and xenophobia and to combat hate crimes against Asian-Americans and…

I think you'd also be deeply concerned about our tremendous political polarization.

There is a law pending before Congress called it COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, which the President has strongly endorsed and called to be swiftly enacted into law.

We have seen -- and it`s been plain for all Americans on their television sets -- just how serious a problem we face from nationalists and white supremacists. As President Biden has made clear, advancing equity is everybody`s job.

This is the most irresponsible leadership during a transition that I think any of us have seen in our lifetimes, if not in the history of the republic.

There's no such thing as a quick and dirty strike on Iran's nuclear capacity. That is the start of a very costly and sustained war.

The objective needs to be to end the forever wars, as they're called, but to do so responsibly, and without putting at risk our allies and our collective sacrifice of many thousands of lives over the last several years.

By his refusal to engage in an orderly transition, tragically, but not surprisingly, Mr. Trump appears determined to take a final wrecking ball toward democracy and national security on his inevitable way out the door.
