Biden’s Unity Agenda
“You ought to see a united front on all four of those points. I think you ought to be able to see Republicans join with Democrats in unifying around an agenda to do things like end cancer, protect children’s mental health, fight the opioid epidemic, [and help our veterans]. These are common goals we ought to be able to share across Party lines.
"But you saw Republicans in that chamber boo the fact that 6.5 million new jobs were created in the last year; 369,000 new manufacturing jobs were created last year and Republicans boo’ed that news. I hope that the mainstream working Republicans in this country will take their party back from the elites in Washington and say that 'jobs are a good thing; “that we can agree that we ought to be able to work together to end cancer and protect our kids’ mental health. There are some goals that should be above partisan rhetoric that we should be able to unify around as one nation."
A positive vision for our country
"Tonight was a phenomenal night. Joe Biden brought a positive vision for a country that returned to global leadership. in the moment of crisis when a mad dictator is storming a sovereign nation, Joe Biden led Western Democracies across the globe in a united front to push back"
Our country is hurting. We need leadership. We need support.
"Thankfully Democrats have the numbers right now [in Congress] that they can go about the business of the people while Republicans are in chaos. Our country is hurting. We need leadership. We need support. Thankfully Joe Biden has offered that with the American Rescue Plan that would help put people back to work, that would help meet the needs of those who have lost so much during this pandemic and its effects, that would help get the critical materials and resources to schools and counties and cities and state governments to help schools get to a place where they can reopen safely. Hopefully Republicans will join and help work towards a better future for our nation."
A battle for the soul of the American nation
"This is a battle for the soul of the American nation. At a time when we need to be revitalized, to have hope, at a time when we need healing we have Joe Biden and Kamala Harris - a rosary saying Catholic and my fellow Baptist. Who are talking from a place of faith about how we save the soul of this nation from the things that DONALD Trump has done like caging children like separating children from their parents at the border.
"It is going to come down to bread and butter, kitchen table issues in rural America. It is going to come down to things like the losses farmers have faced from the terrible, failed trade policies of Donald Trump. It is going to come down to our economic future for Main Street small businesses. Donald Trump is one of only a handful of American Presidents in modern times to run for re-election with net job losses."
