"What we have never seen before is a president say, I'm going to try to actively kneecap the Postal Service to encourage voting. And I will be explicit about the reason I'm doing it."

"Joe was not the person I was closest to of the candidates. We were different in age, different in background. His politics were a little bit different than mine. But it was precisely those differences..."

"Now, what we've seen in a way that is unique to modern political history is a president who is explicitly trying to discourage people from voting."
