The things that Donald Trump is saying and doing are genuinely a threat to the democratic process.

Don't dare call them protesters. They were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists.

The past four years, we have had a president who made his contempt for the democracy, our Constitution, the rule of law, clear. In everything he has done. He unleashed an all-out assault on our institutions of democracy from the outset…

Yesterday, in my view, one of the darkest days in the history of our nation. What we witnessed yesterday was not dissent. It was not disorder. It was not protest. It was chaos. They weren't protesters. Don't dare call them protests, they…

It was formed in 1870 to enforce the civil rights amendment that grew out of the Civil War, the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, to stand up to the clan, to stand up to racism, to take on domestic terrorism. This original spirit must again…

He unleashed an all-out assault on our institutions of our democracy from the outset.

We need to work towards a world without nuclear weapons. The threat of nuclear war is too great.

What we witnessed yesterday was not dissent. It was not disorder. It was not protest. It was chaos. They weren't protesters. Don't dare call them protesters. They were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists. It is that basic…

I say to the Senator from Texas, you know much more about that court than I do. I don't believe they let that paper that he sent up there even hit the desk before they left it out of the court.

The Senator from Texas says we just want to create a little commission, 10 days, we're going to audit all the states, particularly the ones in contention here and find out what actually occurred.

This president begs coaxes even threatens that Secretary of State to find the votes he needs in any other venue that would be a simple, obvious crime.

This mob was invited to come to Washington on this day by this president for one reason, because he knew the Electoral College vote was going to be counted this day.

What we're seeing where a small number of extremists, dedicated to lawlessness.

Words of a president matter.

Like so many other Americans, I am generally shocked and saddened that our nation so long a beacon of light and hope for democracy, has come to such a dark moment.

You have two senators now who think they don't work for you, they work for Trump. I got elected when I was 29 years old and six more times in the United States senate from Delaware, and guess what? Not once did I think I took an oath to…

You voted in record numbers in November, the will of people prevailed. We won three times here. We need you to vote again in record numbers, to make your verses where your voice is heard again, and again to change Georgia, to change…

The will of the people prevailed. We won three times here.

The power -- the power is literally in your hands unlike anytime in my career. One state, one state can chart the course not just for the next four years but for the next generation.

Politicians cannot assert, take, or seize power. Power is given, granted by the American people alone. And we can never give that up. It's always, always the will of the people must prevail.

President-Elect Biden has made it very clear. His goal is at least 100 million doses in the first 100 days, namely, a million doses a day.

They're talented. They're principled. They're qualified. They're decent. They're honorable. They mean what they say. They're bending the arc of history toward justice and hope and progress.

Kamala Harris has now made history as the first black woman to join a major-party ticket. Today, former Vice President Joe Biden has chosen Senator Harris to be his running mate.

To everything, there is a season, a time to build, a time to reap and a time to sow, and a time to heal. This is a time to heal in America.

I have laid out three challenges in our first 100 days. One of them is ensuring that 100 million shots have been administered by the end of the first hundred days. If Congress provides the funding, we'd be able to meet this incredible…
