Donald Trump's closing argument is, what do you have to lose? The answer is everything. He's woefully unprepared to do this job. President is a serious job. It's not hosting a talk show or a reality show. If your closest advisers don't…

The allegations are so absurd, that even Republican controlled committees, you know, looking into it, have dismissed them. And, you know, Attorney General Barr has dismissed them. But one of the central foundation stones of a democracy is…

Nobody should have to wait 11 hours to vote, but we're all grateful that you and all those in line with you stuck it out. Keep making your voices heard everybody, our democracy depends on it.

He was always the guy in every meeting who asked, how's this helping regular folks?

One of the central foundation stones of a democracy is the idea that you do not. You do not allow the politicization of the criminal justice system, the intelligence system, the military, right.

The allegations are so absurd, that even Republican controlled committees, you know, looking into it, have dismissed them.

There's one person, one character who's trying to bring us into despair and division. And there's another one who's trying to bring us to a higher place.

We've got to push back against that.

This shouldn't be a partisan issue, by the way. It has become a partisan issue, only because you have got one major party in this country that has made no bones about the fact that they want to make it harder for some people to vote.

We have got to push back against that.

Michelle and I hope that the president, first lady, and all those affected by the coronavirus around the country are getting the care they need and are on the path to a speedy recovery. Obviously, we are in the midst of a big political…

Michelle and I are hopeful that they and others that have been affected by COVID-19 around the country are getting the care that they need.

Although we are in the midst of a big political fight, and we take that very seriously, we also want to extend our best wishes to the president of the United States, the first lady.

I'm glad that you recognize that al Qaeda is a threat because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al Qaeda.

It will mean everything is subject to the most partisan of politics, everything, and our democracy will ultimately suffer as well.

I am nominating chief Judge Merrick Brian Garland to join the Supreme Court.

four and a half years ago, when Republicans refused to hold a hearing on an upward down vote from Merrick Garland, they invented the principle that the Senate shouldn't fill an open seat on the Supreme Court, before a new president was…

Our democracy is a precious thing, and it's up to all of us to protect it.

As William Faulkner once wrote, the past isn't dead and buried. In fact, it isn't even past.

Joe has never lost his sense of why we do this. Memories of his family, the people of Delaware that he represented, his focus is going to be, how's that going to help those people who sent him there?

The data shows that we are still enjoying historically low rates of violent crime. What we can't do is cherry-pick data or use anecdotal evidence to drive policy or to feed political agendas.

So I'm also asking you to believe in your own ability to embrace your own responsibility as citizens to make sure that the basic tenants of our democracy endure because that's what's at stake right now. Our democracy.

Donald Trump hasn't grown into the job because he can't. And the consequences of that failure are severe.

That's how a democracy withers until it's no democracy at all. And we cannot let that happen. Do not let them take away your power. Do not let them take away your democracy. This administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if…

They know they can't win you over with their policies so they're hoping to make it as hard as possible for you to vote and to convince you that your vote does not matter.
