The Trump administration's plan to distribute vaccines is falling behind, far behind.

We need to be honest; the next few weeks and months are going to be very tough, very tough period for our nation, maybe the toughest during this entire pandemic.

Had that attitude been in the White House, I'm convinced that we would have -- we still would have had a terrible ride with COVID, but it didn't need to be the awful catastrophe that is -- it has been and continues to be.

I propose a COVID action package early next year and challenge Congress to act on it quickly. Look, my ability to change the direction of this pandemic starts in three weeks.

Truth is many of the agencies that are critical to our security, have incurred enormous damage. Many have been hollowed out in personnel capacity, and in morale, in the policy processes that have atrophied or have been sidelined, in the…

Right now, we just aren't getting all the information that we need for the ongoing -- outgoing -- from the outgoing administration in key national security areas. It's nothing short in my view of irresponsibility.

The Trump administration's plan to distribute vaccines is falling behind, far behind. With only a few days left in December we've only vaccinated a few million so far.

Right now, as our nation is in a period of transition, we need to make sure that nothing is lost in the hand-off between administrations. My team needs a clear picture of our force posture around the world and our operations to deter our…

Before I begin, I want to say a few words, a few brief words about the explosion that took place Friday in Nashville, Tennessee. Federal, state and local law enforcement working around the clock to gain more information on motive and…

Many of the agencies that are critical to our security have incurred enormous damage. Many of them have been hollowed out in personnel, capacity and in morale. We have encountered roadblocks from the political leadership at the Department…

I want to thank the police department in Nashville, particularly those five police officers who worked so quickly to evacuate the area before the explosion occurred, risking their own lives.

Even if we boost the speed of vaccinations to one million shots a day, it will still take months to have the majority of the United States population vaccinated. I've directed my team to prepare a much more aggressive -- a much more…

For some agencies, RTVC exemplary cooperation from the career staff in those agencies from others, most notably the Department of Defense. We countered obstruction from the political leadership of that department. We need to make sure that…

We have encountered roadblocks on the political leadership of the Department of Defense and the Office of Management and Budget. Right now, we just aren't getting all the information that we need from the ongoing -- outgoing -- from the…

The well is full of poison. I mean, what more -- what more proof do we need?

Biden should assume that up front, I think. And if -- and if we, you know, if we needed any more proof of what the right is now, I think the Trump years have cleared that up.

If Congress did his job this week, and I can and I must ask them to do it again next year.

29 days until the inauguration of Joe Biden as our 46th president.

with 29 days left until Joe Biden is sworn in as the next president of the United States, over the past 24 hours, the president has met with a dozen-ish Republican members of Congress at the White House plotting their approach to try to…

Our darkest days are ahead of us, not behind us.

Look, with all due respect even to Pat Robertson, what everybody should be thinking, you know, listening to who everybody should be listening to is Joe Biden. And those really wonderful remarks that he made early today, calling for unity…

This is assault happened on Donald Trump's watch when he wasn't watching. He still has responsibility as president to defend American interest for the next four weeks. But rest assured that even if he does not take it seriously, I will.

The attorney general of the United States of America is not the president's lawyer. I will appoint someone who I expect to enforce the law as the law is written, not guided by me.

I think it's very important for whoever is appointed as A.G., that they see some of these pardons really as admissions of guilt.

Joe Biden is like, look, I'm not going to use the Justice Department. I'm not going to use pardon on my way.
