Joe Biden

This is a nation that honors our Constitution. We do not reject it.

He said there were millions of Americans -- we don`t have a number -- who are a profound threat to American democracy because they don`t abide by the rules of American democracy and want to see it overturned.

They don`t understand what every patriotic American knows.

Now, I want to be very clear, very clear up front, not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology.

The Republican Party is dominated and intimidated and directed by MAGA Republicans now.

I don't consider any Trump supporter a threat to the country. I do think anyone who calls for the use of violence, who fails to condemn violence when it's used, refuses to acknowledge when an election has been won, that is the threat to…

I will not stand by and watch. I will not -- the will the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless evidence claims of fraud. I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply…

Here we are, I am president, but the democracy is in peril, like 1860, like 1940. We are in a situation where few things go the wrong way, we could lose our system, our rule of law, our free and fair elections.

For a long time, we’ve told ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed. But it’s not. We have to defend it. Protect it. Stand up for it. Each and every one of us.

While the threat to American democracy is real, I want to say it as clearly as we can, we are not powerless in the face of these threats. We are not bystanders in this ongoing attack on democracy.

MAGAs Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election, and they’re working right now as I speak in…

There are public figures today, yesterday and the day before predicting and all but calling for mass violence and rioting in the streets. This is inflammatory. It’s dangerous. It’s against the rule of law, and we the people must say this…

MAGA Republicans look at Americans seek carnage and darkness and despair. They spread fear and lies, lies tool for profit and power. But I see a different America and America with unlimited future. An America that is about to take off. I…

Too much of what`s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represented extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.

As I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault. We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise.

I will not stand by and watch. I will not the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless evidence reclaims and fraud. I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who…

He is going to make that contrast very clear, an important one, with now less than 10 weeks before the midterm elections.

So many elected Republicans still are very clearly under the thumb of the former president.

The continued battle for the soul of the nation.

This is a serious moment. This is a serious election coming up. There will be another one in 2024, one hopes. But the very process of our democracy and the peaceful transfer of power is threatened when one party, and a lot of one party…

I will not -- the will the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless evidence, street claims and fraud, I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that…

MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law, they do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election. And they're working right now, as I speak and…

Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know, because I've been able to work with these mainstream Republicans.

Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.

MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.
