## Transcript

I do think it's problematic. I think millions of the American. This is not the way the system is supposed to work. Is the reason it's unprecedented. You don't just steam roll the rules that pros. That's what's happening here. Mr. For me excited I suggest the president should every This is the United States ing the campaign is. I'm from to stay, it has been and it remains the honor and privilege of my lifetime to work for President Biden. I've been working for him now for more than 22 years. And if you step back for a second and think about what he inherited when he took office, maybe the worst health crisis in at least 100 years in this country, the worst economic crisis, going back to the great recession, the worst democratic crisis, as long as I can think.

And we had countries around the world. Looking at all of this and circling like sharks to see if they could take advantage of the perceived weakness of the United States. And what he did, what he's done, what he continues to do over these 3.5 years and going forward through the remainder of this term. Has been to turn all of that around in a powerful way. The investments that we've made here at home in our future, in our competitiveness, whether it's through the infrastructure bill, whether it's through the Chips and Science Act, whether it's through the Inflation Reduction Act, countries around the world see that we're serious about investing in ourselves and competing s.

President Biden's selfless decision has given the Democratic Party the opportunity to unite behind a new nominee and boy oh boy, are we enthusiastic. When I spoke with her Sunday, She said she wanted the opportunity to win the nomination on her own, and to do so from the grassroots up, not top down. We deeply respected that. Hakim and I did. She said she would work to earn the support of our party, and boy has she done so in quick order. Vice President Harris has done a truly impressive job securing the majority of delegates needed to win the Democratic Party's nomination to be our next president to the United States.

The vast majority of my senators quickly and enthusiastically endorsed her. So now that the process has played out. From the grassroots bottom up. We are here today to throw our support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. Joe Biden will go down in American history as one of the most consequential presidents of all time. President Joe Biden has made the selfless decision. To pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris who is ready, willing, and able to lead us into the future. Kamala Harris will fight for our freedom. Kamala Harris will fight for our families. C Kamala Harris will fight for our future.

I'm proud to strongly endorse Kamala Harris to be the 47th President of the United States of America. We're going to hold the Senate. We're going to win the House. We're going to elect Kamala Harris as our next president in November.
