I have spent the last few days speaking about this because it is of such critical importance for us in the Senate and for the Congress to understand that we are asking more and more of our Guard and Reserve. This was not always the case. It was not that way in World War I and World War II. It was not that way in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s, but it is this way today.

We are a nation of laws, not of men. Nobody is above the law in the United States of America, not even Donald Trump, although every day he wants to prove to us that he is.
That should be very troubling from a domestic terrorism point of view.
The fact still remains that Donald Trump's presidency was awful. Seventeen of his cabinet members left and said, 'Please don't elect him again.'
Joe Biden understands America's place in the world and that if we're not there, the preservation of democracy and freedom, both abroad and at home, is going to be at risk.
