Joe Biden

Joe Biden told John's network today that he would be willing to indeed shut down the country again, if that was the advice of science.

I know that deep black hole that opens up in the middle of your chest and you feel like you are being sucked into it. I know how mean and cruel and unfair life can be sometimes.

Absolutely yes, I commit.

This is our moment. This is our mission. History will be able to say that the end of this chapter of American darkness begin here tonight.

I understand how hard it is to have any hope right now. And this summer night, let me take a moment to speak to those of you who have lost the most. I have some idea how it feels to lose someone you love.

The tragedy of where we are today is it didn't have to be this bad. Just look around. It's not this bad in Canada, or Europe, or Japan, or almost anywhere else in the world. And the President keeps telling us, the virus is going to…

No president. No president has ever said anything like that. No president has ever used those words.

Biden called the Trump administration accused the Trump administration being written with quote incompetence.

This is what I want to do for you that you are what drives me and that I want to make sure that when we build back better, that that means that nobody gets left behind.

The President failed his number one job, to Americans, which was to protect them, and said it was disqualifying the way that the President has responded on Coronavirus.

While I will be a Democratic candidate, I will be an American president. I will work hard for those who didn't support me, as hard for them as I did for those who did vote for me.

I believe we need a moonshot in this country to cure cancer. It's personal, but I know we can do this. There are so many breakthroughs just on the horizon. We can make them real with an absolute national commitment.

Joe knows who he is. He knows where -- he knows his vision. He knows where he wants to take the country. Joe will be a very confident president.

You know, we knew this was going to happen. These are all distractions. When we decided to run, we knew this was going to be part of the campaign.

Yes. You know, I think what Barack and Michelle said is right. I mean, things could get much worse. We can't take four more years. So, you know, Joe is going to lead us in a new direction and that's what people have to think about. His…

This is our moment. This is our mission. May history be able to say that the end of this chapter of American darkness began here tonight, as love and hope and light join in the battle for the soul of the nation. And this is a battle we…

I will be an American president. That's the job of a president, to represent all of us, not just our base.

I will draw on the best of us, not the worst. I'll be an ally of the light, not the darkness.

I would be prepared to do whatever it takes to save lives, because we cannot get the country moving until we control the virus. That is the fundamental flaw of this administration's thinking to begin with.

We can choose a path of becoming angrier, or we can choose a different path, and together take this chance to heal.

Well, you know, my dad used to have an expression: You know, the greatest sin of all is the abuse of power. Whether it's an economic power, political power or physical power.

Democracy is on the ballot.

A job is not just about work, it's about dignity. It's being able to look your kid in the face and say it's going to be OK.

We're not a collection of red states and blue states. We're one country I'm going to govern for everyone.

I will be a Democratic candidate. I will be an American president.
