We have got to vote like we did in 2008 and 2012. Weve got to show up with the same level of passion and hope for joe biden. We have got to vote early, in person if we can, weve got to request our mail in ballots right now tonight and send them back immediately. Followup to make sure that they are received and then make sure that our friends and families do the same. We have got to grab our comfortable shoes, put on our masks, pack a brown bag of dinner, maybe breakfast too, because we have got to be willing to stand in line all night if we have to. Look, we have already sacrificed so much this year. So many of you are already going an extra mile. Even when youre exhausted, you are mustering up unimaginable courage to put on those scrubs and give our loved ones a fighting chance. Even when you are anxious, you are delivering those packages, stocking the shelves, and doing all that essential work so that all of us can keep moving forward. Even when it all feels so overwhelming, working

Speak with the in coming president of the United States, president elect, joe biden. The only reason they cant speak because of the current president s baseless attempts to prove voter fraud and maybe fear of what life is like of a oneterm president will be like outside the white house. Does not matter what he thinks or feels. It is what hes doing and hes harming this country and the transition to power. Moments ago, usa today released an interview with dr. Fauci.
