There weren't any indication that it has nothing to do with fairness, nothing to do with decency. They passed a law saying you can't provide water for people standing in line while they're waiting to vote. You don't need anything else to…
On December 8, I indicated that I hope to get 100 million shots in people`s arms in my first 100 days. We met that goal last week by day 58, 42 days had a schedule. Now today, I`m setting the second goal. And that is we will by my 100 day…
We’re building back up the capacity that should have been maintained and built upon that Trump dismantled. It’s going to take time.
The way to deal with this problem... is putting together a bipartisan plan of over $700 million to deal with the root causes of why people are leaving.
I plan on making progress on all of them, but that’s going to be for the American people to decide.
I got elected to solve problems. The most urgent problem facing the American people... was COVID-19 and the economic dislocation for millions.

He is not new to the issue of gun violence, to the need to put in place common safe gun safety measures.
Deciding in some states that you cannot bring water to people standing in line waiting to vote? Deciding that you`re going to end voting at 5:00 when working people are just getting off work? Deciding that there will be no absentee ballots…
But I can guarantee we can make everything better. we can make it better. We can change the lives of so many people.

The elected officials. I’m talking about voters, Republican voters, agree with what I’m doing. Unless Mitch says the last thing I did is -- the last piece of legislation is so far left, well, then he ought to a look at his party. Over 50…
