Joe Biden

Lifeguarding was a great way to stay active and help others. It's important to find ways to give back to your community.

I still love to swim, and I credit my time as a lifeguard for instilling a love of the water in me.

Joe Biden promises that his administration will look like the America that elected him president.

It's not a political statement. It's not about whether you're a tough guy or not a tough guy, whether you're -- it's about patriotism.

And there's a whole lot of things that are just -- we just don't have available to us, which unless it's made available soon, we're going to be behind by weeks or months being able to put together the whole initiative relating to the…

If you really care about your country, what you want to do is keep your neighbors and your family safe.

I can't do any of this until I'm sworn in, or I can convince the president now to do things that should be being done already.

There is no excuse not to share the data and let us begin to plan, because, on day one, it's going to take us time. If we don't have access to all this data, it's going to put us behind the eight ball by a matter of a month or more. And…

I don't know his motive, but I just think it's totally irresponsible -- think this debilitating. It's not a -- it sends a horrible message about who we are as a country.

We should be further along. One of the problems that we're having now is the failure of the administration to recognize the law says that the General Services Administration has a person who recognizes who the winner is. And then they have…

The law says that the General Services Administration has a person who recognizes who the winner is. And then they have to have access to all the data and information that the government possesses to be prepared.

He is just trying to destroy the village.

This is a moment that calls for hope and courage, for imagination and initiative, and above all, for unity and common purpose.

We need to get control of the virus before we can safely reopen the economy. It's not one or the other. It's both.

We need to address the challenges facing our economy and ensure that it is working for all Americans, and that means creating good-paying jobs and investing in infrastructure and innovation.

I am not being critical, just stating the obvious. You know that I've been unable to get the briefings that ordinarily would have come by now. There's no presidential responsibility more important than protecting the American people.

How do we get over 300 million Americans vaccinated? What's the game plan? It's a huge, huge, huge undertaking. More people may die if we don't coordinate.

The plans that President-Elect Biden will put in place on day one, will lead our country with a coordinated plan and a strategy to end the pandemic as quickly as possible.

The refusal means no current executive branch officials can meet or talk with their incoming counterparts.

As I said earlier, and I probably shouldn't repeat it, but I find this more embarrassing for the country than debilitating for my ability to get started.

The idea that the President's now existing, remaining advisor on COVID is saying that they should resist. What's the matter with these guys? What is the matter with them? Resist? You know, every major individual of any consequence in the…

What is the matter with these guys? What is the matter with them?

My basic message, America's back, and it's no longer America alone. I have been unable to get the briefings that ordinarily would have come by now. And so I just want to get your input on what you see ahead. And, to state the obvious…

There's a reason why the federal government is able to run a deficit, because the states must -- must balance their budgets. And they're in real trouble. You're going to see hundreds of thousands of police officers, firefighters, first…

How do we get the vaccine? How do we get over 300 million Americans vaccinated? What's the game plan? It's a huge, huge, huge undertaking.
