Joe Biden

I will have their backs in the backs of other private public sector leaders if they take such steps. But others have declined to step up. I find it disappointing. And worst of all, some state officials are passing laws or signing orders…

Please help. But if you aren`t going to help, at least get out of the way.

What I said was if the investigation Attorney General concluded that the allegations are correct, that back in March that I would recommend he resign. That`s what I`m doing today.

We’re doing everything we can to get more people vaccinated and we’re seeing real results.

I stand by that statement.

These two states, Florida and Texas, account for 1/3 of all new COVID-19 cases in the entire country, just two states. Look, we need leadership from everyone. If some governors aren`t willing to do the right thing to beat this pandemic…

I say to these governors, please help. But if you`re not going to help, at least get out of the way.

Worst of all, some state officials are passing laws or signing orders that forbid people from doing the right thing. As of now, seven states not only ban mask mandates, but also ban them in their school districts. I say to these governors…

Let’s take one thing at a time here. I think he should resign.

What Republicans want to do is say a political party gets to decide if a vote counts. It's outrageous. We're going to fight like hell so that doesn't happen.

The single most important thing that we have to do is we have to protect the voting system. Protect the sacred right to vote. It's under assault in ways I haven't seen in my entire career.

This is fully preventable. We have enough vaccines to vaccinate every person in this country.

I say to these governors, please help. But if you aren’t going to help, at least get out of the way.

And worst of all, some state officials are passing laws or signing orders that forbid people from doing the right thing.

What he did was he pleaded with them to save lives, because that’s what’s ultimately at stake here.

It's time for him to step down.

I stand by that statement.

It looks like he`s getting a lot closer to that -- to that promise. It`s -- it`s a big package. It`s the kind of package that Trump could not get done, even though -- you know, if he really wanted to, he could have.

Sir, there is something on your chin.

In all probability, by the way, we had a good day yesterday, almost a million people got vaccinated. So, I'm hopeful that people are beginning to realize how essential it is.

Well, I`d like to see them continue to move in that direction. And that`s why I pointed out, I asked the Justice Department to determine whether they`re able to do that legally. And they can.

Nearly all of the cases, hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID-19 today are from unvaccinated people. Last month, a study showed that over 99 percent of COVID-19 deaths have been among the unvaccinated, 99 percent. This is an American…

You know want to know how we put this virus behind us. I`ll tell you how we need to get more people vaccinated. The pictures of hospitals in several states overloaded with patients is unnecessary, avoidable and tragic.

There's going to be a combination of many, many things.

We need a message on hope, not on anxiety.
