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.

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.

One of the things that is going to be of concern is just getting poll workers. Everybody who's voted in person knows that, historically, that's been disproportionately seniors, people who volunteer their time. I think a lot of older poll…

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 that I thought made him ideal.

By choosing Senator Kamala Harris as America's next vice president, he's underscored his own judgment and character. Reality shows us that these attributes are not optional in a president.

Biden nailed this decision, casting this as really the first important decision that a president makes.

Joe Biden nailed this decision.

By choosing Senator Harris as America's next vice president, Biden has underscored his own judgment and character.

I have known Senator Harris for a long time. She's more than prepared for the job. She spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake. Her own life story is one that I and so many others can see…

The best vice president America's ever had, Mr. Joe Biden's.

George Floyd's life will never be in vain. And I think the President wants to put action behind those words because of the fierce urgency of this moment.

we both have to highlight a problem and make people in power uncomfortable. But we also have to translate that into practical solutions and laws that can be implemented.

One of the things that I have consistently tried to remind myself of during the course of my Presidency is that the economy is not an abstraction.

One of the things I do worry about sometimes among progressives in the United States, maybe it's true here as well, is a certain kind of rigidity where we say, ah, I'm sorry, this is how it's going to be. And then we start sometimes…

The best decision he ever made was picking Joe Biden as his vice president.

I strongly believe that we should take on once and for all the issue of illegal immigration.

I think America was more respected around the world than it was when I came in.

I think we did very well and the reason I was particularly happy was to see the significant increase in vote totals, the percentage of people who voted. The percentage of young people who voted -- was heartening to me.
