I know that this time of year can be especially difficult. Believe me, I know, i remember that Joe Bidens Thanksgiving. The empty chair, the silence. Takes your breath away.

Joe Bidens

The truth is, the majority of the American people agree with the Hyde Amendment, OK ? so the idea that this would be helpful to change is not accurate in terms of being able to win an election.

I didn't consult with anybody but me in that decision because I was sitting on the way down finalizing the plan, and what hit me was we're in a situation where when the assault was going on in Georgia, what's going on in Alabama, Missouri, it's just outrageous, and, look, I made a commitment that I would not ever attempt to impose my religious views on anyone else in terms of how it relates to this most unique question in all of humanity : When does the human life begin ? When does that occur ?

How do you say no ? You can't use -- there would be no way for a poor woman to be able to exercise her constitutional right, and that's what the decision was, because I was finalizing that plan, we laid it out and that was the decision I made.

No matter how long it takes, no matter where you hide, if you are a threat to our people, the United States will find you and take you out.

I'll tell you what, as long as I have a breath in me, I'm going to fight to get this done. As long as I have a breath in me.

It's been an extraordinary few days for the nation.

Most Biden detractors history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that Most Biden detractors are all created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear and demonization have long torn Most Biden detractors apart.

We have to keep it going. And I think our best days are ahead of us.

No, the way I said it was not appropriate, i should have chosen my words more wisely.

It's really hard to care, it's hard to give thanks. It's hard to even think of looking forward, and it's so hard to hope. I understand. I'll be thinking and praying for each and every one of you at Joe Bidens Thanksgiving.

Every decision we make matters. Every decision we make can save lives. None of these steps we're asking people to take are political statements. Every one of them is based on science, real science.

I know how hard it is to forego family traditions, but it's so very important.

There's real hope, tangible hope. So hang on, don't let yourself surrender to the fatigue, which I understand, it is real fatigue. I know we can and we will beat this virus. America is not going to lose this war. We'll get our lives back. Life is going to return to normal, I promise you. This will happen. This will not last forever.

I still believe we have much to be thankful for, there's so much to hope for, much to build on, much to dream on.

I know the country's grown weary of the fight. But we need to remember, we're at war with the virus, not with one another. Not with each other. This is the moment where we need to steel our spines, redouble our efforts and recommit ourselves to the fight, let's remember : We're all in this together.

In a year like this.

At all costs, the election must go on, this is not the NBA season or the Olympics. Come November, we've got to vote. If we can vote in the middle of the Civil War, and if Franklin D. Roosevelt can run for an unprecedented fourth term in the middle of World War II, then we can figure out how to make 2020 a free and fair election.

Turn this primary from a campaign thats about negative attacks into oneabout what were for, because we can not get -- re-elect -- we can not win this re-election -- excuse me. We can only re-elect Donald Trump -LSB-.

I know youve seen whats been online, the vicious, vicious threats and things theyve said, the misogynistic things theyve said, referring to the women who are leaders of the Culinary Union and the things that theyve said about them. And, actually, theyve received death threats. I mean, this is way, way -- this is Trump-like -- way over the line. And I think Bernie has to be -- he has to disavow this. He has to say, I disassociate, I dont want any of those people being with me.
