the Biden administration is going to approach this economic crisis and should we see them as the right team to get the job done?

America voted Joe Biden. Then Joe Biden should be. But I think it all should be fair. I think it all should be fair.

My administration across the board is going to look like America.

President-elect Biden's victory over President Trump was propelled by the largest voting bloc in America, women.

That's what we need in a -- in a leader, in any leader. And that's what we were going to get with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

This Thanksgiving, in anticipation of all the Thanksgivings to come, let's dream again. Let's commit ourselves to thinking not only of ourselves but of others as well.

I know the country has grown weary of the fight. We need to remember we're at war with the virus, not with one another, not with each other. This is the moment where we need to steal our spines, redouble our efforts and recommit ourselves…

For those who have lost a loved one, I know that this time of year can be especially difficult. Believe me. I know. I remember that first Thanksgiving, the empty chair, the silence. It takes your breath away.

Let's be thankful for democracy itself. In this last election, the one that just took place, we've seen record numbers of Americans exercise the most sacred right, that of the vote to register their will at the ballot box. You want to know…

We're going to move ahead, whether Trump helps us or not, we're going to move ahead where the Republicans help us or not.

So Biden has it correct, you know. It's not a political thing. It's not a partisan thing. It's common sense.

Each of us has a responsibility in our own lives to do what we can do to slow the virus. Every decision we make matters. Every decision we make can save lives. None of these steps are asking people to take are political statements. Every…

my friend Joe Biden is bringing such dignity and such integrity even to this impossible transition, and it gives me hope.

the nation's capital right now, power is held by a very small number of people, Pelosi, McConnell, incoming President Joe Biden, and the President.

We fought nearly a year-long battle with a virus that has devastated this nation. It's divided us, angered us, set us against one another. I know the country's grown weary of the fight. But we need to remember, we're at war with the virus…

I think we should also be focusing on being able to open schools as rapidly as we can.

In calls from world leaders that I've had about 18 of over 20 so far, I'm not sure the exact number, in the week since we won the election, I've been struck by how much they're looking forward to the United States reasserting its historic…

I mean, today, in grave, grave contrast to every single thing done every day of the Trump administration, today was organized.

This is not third Obama term, because there's -- we face a totally different world than we faced in the Obama-Biden Administration. The president, President Trump has changed the landscape. It's become America First, which has been spent…

I hope that we're going to be able to have a united voice on the need to mask, socially distance, testing and tracing. The words of a president matter. And I think it's critically important, I think it's a patriotic responsibility to wear…

Yes. And we still have a lot more appointments to make. I want this country to be united. The purpose of our administration is, once again, reuniting. We can't keep this very long political dialogue going. It has to end.

America is back. We're at the head of the table once again. I have spoken with over 20 world leaders and they all are literally pleased and somewhat excited America is going to reassert its role in the world and be a coalition builder.

It's a slow start. But it started and there's too much left to go. So I'm feeling good about the ability to be able to get up to speed and I fully expect based on what I've heard so far. We'll get full cooperation each the agencies in…

This is not a third Obama term because there's -- we face a totally different world than we faced in the Obama Biden administration. The President has changed the landscape. It's become America first, it's been America alone.

We will not be able to get our economy really back on track until the global economic engine is purring again.
