Bernie Sanders

This is the most important election not only in our lifetimes, but in the modern history of this country. And I will do everything I can to see that Trump is defeated.

The political world in America has changed and the Democratic Party has changed. And that is, we now have a very potent and growing progressive movement in this country of many, many, many millions of people. And the progressive movement…

They would like a president, maybe, who would focus on their needs. How do we get health care for all? How do we deal with the pandemic? So maybe it's time for us to focus on the needs of the American people and not just the craziness of…

I think the American people, frankly, are sick and tired of the lies. They're sick and tired of an anti-science president who endangers all of us.

They would like a president maybe who would focus on their needs.

People understand not only that climate change is an existential threat to the planet, they do understand that we can create millions of good-paying jobs transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency.

Right now, if there was ever a moment in American history where the Democratic Party has got to be strong, bold, and stand up the powerful special interest, this is that moment.

I'm going to fight for 100-day agenda which speaks to the needs and the pain of working families today.

I do not believe that most people today, after the pandemic, consider themselves better off than they were four years ago.

What Mitch McConnell does not want is a bill which essentially becomes a Democratic bill and the Republicans look stupid.

Mitch McConnell has already told you, and that is no matter of what Trump wants, no matter what Nancy Pelosi wants, he has 20 United States senators who don't want to vote for anything. They're turning their backs on American workers in a…

Let me be very clear, Lawrence, if you make more than $400,000 under the Biden plan, your taxes are going to go up. Joe Biden is not going to raise taxes on anyone who makes less than $400,000.

I am worried and had been worried for a long time, that we have a president who will refuse to leave office if he loses the election. And what I believe we have got to do is listen carefully to what he says. I know there are people out…

We need a bipartisan commission to oversee this election so that people have faith in our democracy.

If they love America, then they love American democracy and now is the time for them to stand up in a very forceful way and say, hey, Mr. President, if you lose this election, you are leaving office, no ifs, buts and maybes.

In Trump's mind, there is no conceivable way that he should leave office. He's attempting massive voter suppression.

Let me make this clear to Donald Trump -- too many people have fought and died to defend American democracy, and you are not going to destroy it.

This is not just an election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. This is an election between Donald Trump and democracy. And democracy must win.

What I am going to talk about is something that in my wildest dreams, I never thought I would be discussing. And that is the need to make certain that the president of the United States, if he loses this election, will abide by the will of…

This is an election between Donald Trump and democracy, and democracy must win.

I have one request for committees to meet during today's session of the Senate. It has the approval of the Majority and Minority Leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the following committee…

The unthinkable has become normal. He has tried to prevent people from voting, undermined the U.S. Postal Service.

Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States.

This is a deliberate effort to defund and destroy the U.S. Postal Service, so that people cannot engage in mail-in ballots.

This election is the most important in the modern history of this country.
