Joe biden made to Campaign Stops in ohio one at a food mobilization drive in cincinnati. The president won the state four years ago but this year it is listed as a tossup. Good evening cincinnati. I am the democratic nominee for congress here in the First District, and i could not be more proud or more excited to be here today in support of joe biden. [applause] we are 22 days from election day and the energy could change across ohio has never been stronger. We have so many real pressing problems in our Community Whether the pandemic, economy, Racial Injustices, we will not solve them with the status quo with leaders like President Trump and congressman chavez who divide us and tears apart the majority of americans in the majority of people in this Community Leaders to bring us together and get things done. [applause] they want leaders who are low ego and know how to deescalate. They want leaders who put people politics. Thats why we need to elected joe biden for president. [applause] ten years ago i was diagnosed with cancer. I had a day i know joe biden had with his family when everything changes in one day all the things that were stressing you out evaporates and the only thing that matters is access to healthcare. It is an incredibly vulnerable feeling and what motivates me to run for congress and why i support joe biden for president. President trump and republicans in Congress Work repeatedly to take away access to healthcare and with existing conditions and then during a pandemic type of access to healthcare is a human right and its not okay to play politics with peoples lives. [applause] country cannot afford another four years of a president who puts himself for our country and we cannot afford another two years of republicans in Congress Like shabbats. It is time for change in time to elect a president like joe biden who will expand access to health care and fight systemic racism and pulled back our economy as a middleclass. [applause] who this election is about the future of our country, the future of our democracy. To say enough is enough that we deserve better leadership. Thats why i ask all of you to join me to do everything you can to help elect joe biden and democrats up and down the ticke ticket, we are in this together.

This is a magnificent side. I understand to marriage proposals were made here in that corner. Thank you for that passport into the city, thank you for your friendship working for you i cannot seem in the light. Thank you mr. Mayor in the mayor is a very good friend with a hello one of the most decent men i know who occupies my seat in the United State Senate we were truman scholars together you seem like youre cut from the same cloth thank you very much for your support i appreciate it. Kate you are something else. There is an old joke a long time ago a senator said to me when i was much younger and my second term he said joe, i will come to delaware and campaign for you or against you whenever wholesale landers but did not hurt you but all kidding aside kate, we need you in u. S. Congress and they mean that. The reason i say that you are healthcare advocate and a cancer survivor, mom, and we need leaders like you representing people in the First District people understand what is going on every day. In the discussions taking place around the Kitchen Table in the morning when family still try to figure out what to do. Thank you for the introductio introduction, joyce. Before i begin let me say i am saddened to hear one of my baseball heroes, joe morgan, a good man passed away. My condolences to the Morgan Family and his teammates. He played one year at the philadelphia phillies. I will get myself in trouble but i happen to grew up in a household in scranton pennsylvania where he wanted to have dinner you had to be a yankees fan because of the aaa ballclub and my grandpa was an allamerican and a great yankees fan. It was hard back then but in delaware if you are not a phillies the end we put it this way, if i were not a phillies fan i would be sleeping alone. [laughter] you think im kidding. I am not. Burger played for a year if my memory serves me correctly. He was the voice as one of the great baseball announcers in history. Can make all the and all the difference in ohio. I learned a long time ago that you win ohio you are the starting gate and again i spent a lot of time as i was telling the mayor when i first got elected to the senate i was 29 in washington and i got a phone call from a First Responder saying my wife and daughter had just been killed and my two boys were badly injured and they were not sure if id make it. The Fire Department took about three hours and the jaws of life to get my kids out of the car because they were broadsided by a tractortrailer. My sister managed my campaign my younger sister and much younger brother raised all the money we raised, 187,000. We went to our governor to determine who they would pick in my spot because i didnt plan on going. A lot of really fine men who in the senate at the time and republicans and democrats came to me and said hes coming to stay for six months and help us organize. I started commuting every day back and forth. Thats how i got involved because when they published that, they keep records on how many miles you travel. And i traveled over a million 4,000 miles. I used to like to take the train home because it cost a lot of money but in addition to that, it felt much more secure but they humored me and let me go home. I remembered getting on the train and i got to know their family. They said i just read joey. Big deal. Went to new jersey and you know how many miles you travel on amtrak, no i dont. He said we figure 117 here and the next number of days you travel to million 100,000 on amtrak. I think i hold a record other than a conductor. My point is we will end up moving highspeed rail in a way that we havent done before and the reason i went home is the same reason you all try to and that is to be there in the evening when my kids went to bed in the morning, my son, and my daughter ashley, get them back to school in the morning on the way to the station and then as they got older it wasnt the case, but kiss them good night. I know dad, weve got to say three hail marys. Its one way that ive said this before and i apologize for the press that travel with me for repeating it, but usually i could get the 7 00 on the fast train. You get outside the beltway exit and i wonder literally sitting there looking out the window what were those parents talking about at that dining room table, what were they doing before they put their kids to bed. My guess is they talk about the same things we talked about all across the country. And we are talking about it today. They are asking questions as profound as ordinary. Are we going to be okay. Are we going to make it and what are we going to do. Whos going to tell her we dont have the money to go back to that Community College or youve got to drive another thousand miles we just dont have the money to get new tires. Its about answering those kind of questions. My dad used to have an expression. He wasnt a coalminer but my greagreatgrandfather was a ming engineer. My dad used to say the job is a lot more than a paycheck. Its about your dignity and respect and your place in the community and being able to look your kids in the eye and say its going to be okay and mean it. That is a lesson that ive never forgotten and its what i grew up with in scranton pennsylvania when my dad took us to delaware but we finally got together again and that is the discussion that we had in scranton like here in cincinnati. Unemployment is up and Economic Outlook remains very certain and mishandled. Across ohio in this country folks are worried about making their next rent or mortgage payment or whether they will be out in the street. Whether they can purchase that Prescription Drug they need or how much food they can put on the table. Making hard choices worrying about what school a child is enrolled in is going to be open. What do they do if i go to work, whos going to take care of them, how do we do that . They see the people at the top doing better and better even in the midst of this recession. You have to wonder who is looking out for me. Thats Donald Trumps presidency. 215,000 people dead. Experts are telling us we may lose up to another 200,000 lives by the end of january all because the president is only worried about one thing, the stock market. Its estimated if we just wore masks, the one i just took off to speak the experts say we could save between now and the end of the year 100,000 lives. The president knew back in january i think it was the 28th of january when the committee kept telling us how serious the pandemic would be, he knew that it was extremely dangerous and an extremely communicable disease, airborne, but he didnt tell anybody. But out of his desire to try to get bob woodward to write something good about him he did a long interview with them and he went on record saying he knew how dangerous it was, but he did and said nothing except praising the great performance and how transparent he was. Ask yourself why did he not tell the country or how better off would he be had he told the country. He said nothing. He told bob woodward he didnt want to panic the american public. Americans dont panic. He has been unconscionable. The longer hes president , the more reckless he gets. Doctor fauci, the most respected person in this area, in the country referred to the president s announcement for the Supreme Court in the rose garden as a super spreader event publicly criticizing you and how is he responding, he is running a national as all across the country quoting him out of context. Doctor fauci said back in march referring to Public Health officials, quote, i cant imagine anybody could be doing more, referring to Public Health officials. But trump and his campaign were used to deception and not telling the truth and told a lie by putting fauci in the ad in plying he was talking about trump saying he doesnt know how anybody could do any better. After fauci saw the ad he went public. He came after that and said i didnt give permission and it was not about the president. Even after he said that. And i listen to your talk. Even after he said that, look what happened. They continued to lie and said we are keeping it in the ad. The same that says im going to increase taxes on middleclass folks and the same amount of credibility. Look, they use it knowing that its a lie. Can you remember any other major mainstream president ial candidate doing Something Like this . As a consequence of months of overwhelming lying and misleading and irresponsible action, on the part of donald trump, how many empty chairs are going to be around the dinner table tonight because of their negligence, how many . How many brothers, sisters, moms, dads are gone . We are so much better than this despite the crisis we face, we have an enormous opportunity. We always come out of the crisis stronger. Thats the uniqueness of who we are. We now have an opportunity to build back and give everybody a fair return on their work and begin to reward work and not just wealth. For example, for the committee communities of color and all across the country the question is how do we break the cycle will. The answer is justice. I know the nation is Strong Enough to provide safe streets for the families and Small Businesses and too often to bear the brunt of looting and burning which is never justified. We have no need for the armed militia roaming the streets. We should have no tolerance for extremist white supremacist groups managing the communities. Reading what is happening in michigan, the governor is a good friend. They are in the driveway with assault weapons. What about those guys you talk about all the time lacks he said i would tell them to stand back and stand by. I worked in the committee in delaware and that is called a dog whistle. They say we should trust the american Law Enforcement communities through their job as i do and let them do their job without the groups acting as vigilantes. They say we have no need to face Racial Injustice in this country. You havent opened your eyes to whats been going on in the country and has for a long time. I decided to run for president. I decided to run when i saw those folks marching out of the fields in charlottesville. This is why we elected him and ask the president what do you think h and he said something no president has ever said. Mark it down. Thereve been a very powerful voices in the recent weeks and months. Ive spent some time. I knelt down to say hi to her and she said in a soft voice daddy changed the world. Also got to know jacobs mom and the whole family. Violence didnt reflect her son and the nation needed healing. One of the things i found pretty moving choking back tears remember what he said a couple of weeks ago, quote, we are the ones getting killed. We are the ones getting shot. Its amazing why we keep loving this country if this country doesnt love us back. Think about that. Theres a deep love for this country and for too long have never been fully recognized. Some talk about the lack of. Weve never met that standard. Moving closer and closer. It was turned back in a big way. With all due respect i think we need the leadership to deescalate tension and bring us back together to heal and hope. That is a president s job. Its about being able to compete and build wealth. Its about jobs, good paying jobs, financial stability, families of color building wealth, being able to pass it down like my Irish Catholic folks were able to do and build homeequity. For example, another example of this, more and more women are dropping out of the workforce in this recession whether in the city or the suburbs. Testing, tracing, not politicizing the race for a vaccine with safe and equitable distribution providing funding for ppe, protective equipment and other resources and for schools and businesses to reopen safely. If you notice the president said when he was asked about his responsibility he said i take no responsibility. That is a quote. I take no responsibility. No National Standard has been set by this administration. We have to do so much and we can do so much. For so many families experiencing it between raising your kids while caring for and aging loved one. Its real. Protect your healthcare in the middle of the pandemic. Why do so many republicans today have time to hold a hearing on the Supreme Court with 22 days left to go. Think about that. The Inspector General and once every two weeks 145 billion up to the states and localities so you dont have to lay off cops, firefighters, school teachers, nurses, First Responders. I will tell you why they are not doing anything about it. Its all about wiping out the Affordable Care act has been an obsession since he became president. The nominees said in the past the law should be struck down. Thats going to take healthcare coverage away from 20 million americans because of his mishandling of the economy and covid, 10 million have already lost their employerbased insurance. Its going to take away preexisting coverage for 100 plus million americans and complications to covid19 like lung scarring and heart damage could put how many millions if theres already so many contracting covid in the United States. What happens then, it cannot be covered. Its going to take us backwards where they can charge a woman more for the same treatment that they charge a man. Pregnancy once again becomes a preexisting condition. We could do so much better than this. Together we can build on the Affordable Care act with a new Health Insurance option. A nonprofit public option which is giving a real competitor and increase the subsidies so premiums are lower and you can afford plans and lower deductibles and outofpocket costs. We can only do any of this if the country comes together. Last week, went to gettysburg pennsylvania where Abraham Lincoln told us a house divided cannot stand. Today hope seems elusive. The policies are ripping us apart. And the republicans are willing to cooperate and get punished by this president. I refuse to let that happen. We need to revive the spirit of bipartisan. That is where we are. Still being able to look at one another. I say that and i said that from the time i announced. Youve got a lot done before, but you cant do that anymore. Im here to tell you we can, and we must if we are going to get anything done. Ii am running as a proud democt but i will govern as an american president. [applause] there will be no blue states and red states. Its one america. I will work with democrats and republicans. Its hard for those who vote against me and those that voted for me. Thats the job of the president , the ability to care, to care for everybody. We can disagree on policy, but still care. You have a sacred duty, a sacred obligation to vote. It matters. Ohio matters. You elected me and take nothing. I ask for your support in 2020. I promise to always have your back. So please, vote. Go to i will vote to request your absentee ballot and vote by mail to confirm your early voting locations to vote early in person and find your polling place. Just make sure you have a plan. Bring along family and friends. Make their plan to vote as well. No matter what, dont let anybody discourage you and tell you that your voice will not be counted. It does. Dont be intimidated by the talk of having some of these proud boys stand there with their rifles to try to open carry and intimidate people without saying anything. You decide our future. Vote and turn out in large numbers. I said i was running to restore america. Its time to rebuild the backbone of this country. This time, bringing everybody along. No matter your race, age, gender, disability, everybody gets to come along. Its time to unite america. We will do that by choosing hope over fear, science over fiction, truth over lies and unity over division. Theres nothing beyond the capacity of the nation when we stand together. So its time to stand up, take back our democracy, unite, and lets for the first time in a while reflect the values of the vast majority of america. May god bless you and god bless our troops.
