"The peaceful transfer of power, the notion that any of us who attain an elected office, whether it's dogcatcher or president, are servants of the people. It's a temporary job. We're not above the rule..."

"The presidency and the vice presidency is bigger than any of us. So, I have instructed my team to work as hard as we can to make sure that this is a successful transition for the president-elect."

"They appear to be motivated in part because the president doesn't like to lose and never admits loss."

"It is one more step in delegitimatizing not just the incoming Biden administration but democracy generally. And that's a dangerous path."
