-One nation.
-One nation.
-One nation.
-Under God.
-Indivisible.
-With liberty...
-And justice for all.
-So I think we need
to ask ourselves,
why don't they
want us to vote?
And the answer is because,
when we vote, things change.
-America needs all of us
to speak out,
even when you have to fight
to find the words.
Vote, vote, vote.
-Look, this can't be
another "woulda, coulda,
shoulda" election.
Remember back in 2016,
when Trump asked,
"What do you have to lose?"
Well, now we know.
And don't forget, Joe and Kamala
can win by 3 million votes
and still lose.
Take it from me.
-But to light a way forward
for our country.
That is the guiding purpose
of House Democrats --
fighting for the people.
Who is standing the way?
Mitch McConnell
and Donald Trump.
-I have sat in the Oval Office
with both of the men
who are running for president.
I never expected that my
successor would embrace
my vision
or continue my policies.
I did hope, for the sake
of our country,
that Donald Trump
might show some interest
in taking the job seriously.
That he might come to feel
the weight of the office,
and discover some reverence
for the democracy
that had been placed
in his care.
But he never did.
No interest in putting
in the work.
No interest in using the awesome
power of his office
to help anyone but himself
and his friends.
None of this should
be controversial.
But at this moment,
this president
and those who enable him
have shown
they don't believe
in these things.
Tonight I'm asking you
to believe in Joe
and Kamala's ability
to lead this country.
-I hereby declare that
Kamala Harris is elected
as the Democratic candidate
for vice president.
-I have fought for children
and survivors of sexual assault.
I've fought against
transnational
criminal organizations.
I took on the biggest banks,
and helped take down one of
the biggest for-profit colleges.
I know a predator
when I see one.
We must elect Joe Biden.
And I will tell you,
I knew Joe as vice president.
I knew Joe
on the campaign trail.
And I first got to know Joe
as the father of my friend.
So make no mistake --
the road ahead is not easy.
We may stumble.
We may fall short.
But I pledge to you
that we will act boldly.
And we will act
with the same faith in you
that we ask you to place in us.
