We're going to restore the independence and the integrity of the Justice Department. It's going to be the people's lawyer, not the president's lawyer.

I think it was important for the president-elect to address this directly tonight, to talk about the challenges to our democracy that have been posed over the six weeks since the election.

Congress needs to act this month to fund the vaccination effort that's going to unfold next year.

I think the dam broke on that tonight. We saw people who hadn't said anything before finally acknowledge this victory.

Joe Biden will become president of the United States in the midst of a ongoing crisis. That has to be a seamless transition.

He has not spoken, though, to senator McConnell. Look, I think Senator McConnell still seems to be insisting somehow that President Trump won the election. He didn't.

Right now there are officials Inside the department of health and human services who are busy planning a vaccination campaign for the months of February and March when Joe Biden will be president.

This is about the voices and the views of the American people. They want action, they want change.

More Americans voted for Joe Biden in the history of this country. They voted for him because he promised them he would take action on these urgent crises starting on the first day.

The president-elect is the president-elect. He is entitled under the statute to get those kinds of briefings.

He is going to implement his COVID plan on day one. He's going to send to Congress immigration reform legislation on day one.

Look, I think Senator McConnell still seems to be insisting somehow that President Trump won the election. He didn't.

The sooner we can get our transition experts into meetings with the folks who are planning the vaccination campaign, the more seamless the transition from a Biden presidency to a Trump presidency can be.

She is going to be a very influential, very important vice president.

His focus is on doing his job as president-elect and his job as president-elect at this stage of the process is mostly moving forward on his agenda to get ready to be president on January 20th.

That's what Joe Biden was elected to do. That's what he's going to do.

I hope that people in both parties, but particularly some of our Republican friends got the message of this election, which is Joe Biden ran avowedly and openly on a campaign of trying to work across party lines.

Congress needs to work on this right now. It needs to help the people who are in need.
