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 not just an election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. This is an election between Donald Trump and democracy. And democracy must win.
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…
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…
today as a result of the horrific pandemic and economic meltdown, the American working class is hurting in a way that they have not been hurting since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Tens of millions of our fellow citizens have lost…
The unthinkable has become normal. He has tried to prevent people from voting, undermined the U.S. Postal Service.
We must come together, defeat Donald Trump, and elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as our next president and vice president.
This is a deliberate effort to defund and destroy the U.S. Postal Service, so that people cannot engage in mail-in ballots.
He will stop the demonization of immigrants, the coddling of white nationalists, the racist dog whistling, the religious bigotry, and the ugly attacks on women.
To heal the soul of our nation, Joe Biden will end the hate and division Trump has created.
Total disaster. Total irresponsibility. No national plan other than to attack the C.D.C. and doctors and scientists.
But clearly, it seems to me pretty obvious that if there's a decent-sized turnout in this election, Trump loses. And I think Trump understands that and that is why he is going to do everything he can to suppress the vote, including trying…
What he has just told the American people -- and listen, you know, I am a proud conservative, not everybody out there agrees with me. I got it. There are moderates. There are conservatives. Okay, I am a proud progressive, but you know, if…
What this is about is not complicated. Trump may be crazy, but he is not stupid. And he looks at polling, he is behind. And I think what he and his friends believe that if they can suppress the vote, make it harder for people to vote, they…
This is a President who has done nothing to make sure that our doctors and nurses have the personal protective equipment that they need.
Tens and tens of thousands of people have died unnecessarily because of the irresponsibility of this President, who in fact does not believe in science.
This is just another racist, stupid attack from a President who must be defeated in November.
He wants us to talk about all of that stupid stuff. But the reality today in America is there are many millions of people who are unemployed, people who are worried about being able to feed their kids, worried about being evicted from…
This is so absurd. It's just another racist lie. It's an embarrassment to the people of our country.
