Org] texasle campaigning in joe biden also received the , endorsement of senator Amy Klobuchar, who entered her Residential Campaign following a sixth place finish in the South Carolina primary. The appeared together at a rally two in dallas that also included orourke. Didate beto sen. Klobuchar all right. Ok. [applause] [cheers] amy. Amy. Amy. Amy. Sen. Klobuchar all right. Wow. Thank you unbelievable. Well, how great is it to be here in dallas, texas . [applause] [cheers] and how great is it to be here with my family, john and abigail, and with Vice President biden [applause] [cheers] and how wonderful it is to be standing next to him on a stage when it isnt the debate stage. [laughter] so, i actually, as you know, announced my campaign for president in the middle of a minnesota blizzard. Just so i could impress everyone in texas. [applause] [cheers] and, in particular, everyone in dallas. So, we did not let the snow stop us. We did not let the cold stop us. We did continue through that speech, because thats what we do in the heartland. We made a little in this campaign, my campaign, go a long way. And our homegrown campaign, with a tremendous staff that stuck together from the beginning, and volunteers, every way, beat the odds. And that got me up here, right now, on this stage in dallas. [applause] [cheers] and the most amazing thing was getting to know so many people across the country. And i know the Vice President knows this as well. The vietnam vet who sobbed as he talked about losing his son to mental illness. The rancher who voted for donald trump, but after he saw him give a speech in front of that sacred wall, with the cia stars of those who lost their lives in the line of duty, decided he wasnt going to do it again. [applause] [cheers] the immigrant mom who told me she worked two jobs, all for her kids. And through it all, i said to them, and i believe this now, standing with the Vice President , if you feel tired of the noise and the nonsense in our politics, and if you are tired of the extremes, you have a home with me. [applause] [cheers] and i think you know you have a home with joe biden. [applause] [cheers] so many people joined us, supported us, as we carried forward with this simple but fundamental message, and that is it is time for americans to join hands instead of pointing fingers. [applause] [cheers] it is time it is time to turn back the division and the hate and the exclusion and the bitterness. And it is time to work together, to lift up those who are left out and to bring people with us instead of shutting them away. Shoving them away. [applause] [cheers] i believe, and its the reason i am up here, that we are never going to outdivide the dividerinchief. We must, as americans, dream bigger than that. We have to be better than that. Because if we spend the next four months dividing our party and going at each other, we will spend the next four years watching donald trump tear apart this country. We need, texans, we need to unite our party and our country. And to do it not just with our words but with our actions. It is up to us, all of us, to put our country back together, to heal this country, and then to build something even greater. I believe we can do this together. And that is why, today, im ending my campaign and endorsing joe biden for president [cheers] [applause] lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe sen. Klobuchar ok. I have a few other things to say. [laughter] joe biden has dedicated his life to fighting for people. Not for the rich and the powerful, but for the mom, for the farmer, for the dreamer, for the builder, for the veteran. He can bring our country together and build that coalition of our firedup democratic base. [applause] [cheers] and it is fired up. As well as independents and moderate republicans. Because we do not, in our party, want to just eke by a victory. We want to win big, and joe biden can do that. [applause] [cheers] as you know from all the work he has done, he will not just govern with his head. Hes got a lot of good ideas, but he will also govern with his heart. [applause] [cheers] and i know that you know here in this big state of texas that the heart of this country is bigger than the heart of the guy in the white house. [applause] [cheers] it is time it is time, america, for a president that understands that service is not about selfinterest. It is about sacrifice. It is time for a president that represents all of america, including people in the middle of this country, at a time when we see people in extremes that are trying to drown out people. And, most of all, it is time and this is what i feel so strongly about it is time for a president that will bring decency and dignity back to the white house. [applause] [cheers] lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe sen. Klobuchar so, at one of the debates, of our many debates fmr v. P. Biden all of which you won. [laughter] sen. Klobuchar i told the story of Franklin Delano roosevelt, the beloved president. And when he died, they put his body on a train that went from georgia to washington, d. C. And the story is that people spontaneously stood along those train tracks, to show their respect. And a reporter came upon a guy, a regular guy who just had his hat in his hand, and he was sobbing. And the reporter said to him, sir, you mind me asking, did you know president roosevelt . And the guy says, no, i didnt know the president. But he knew me. [cheers] he knew me. And that is exactly what is missing right now in the white house. We have a president that has no empathy, that cannot put himself in the shoes of the people of this country. Well, guess who can do that . That is joe biden. [applause] [cheers] we know joe. We know joe. We know joe. We know joe. We know joe. Sen. Klobuchar so, if you out there are trying to figure out how you stretch your paycheck to pay for your rent or your mortgage, or someone in your family is, you know joe knows you, and he will fight for you. [applause] [cheers] if you are someone trying to decide how do you pay for the longterm care for your parents, and the childcare or college for your kids, joe knows you, and he will fight for you. And if you are trying to figure out how am i going to fill that prescription for insulin, or some other prescription drug, or fill my refrigerator, joe knows you, and he will fight for you. So, i cannot think of a better way to end my campaign then joining his. [applause] [cheers] because amy. Amy. Amy. Amy. Amy. Amy. Amy. Amy. Amy. Amy. Amy. Amy. Sen. Klobuchar because, america, you gave an opportunity to the granddaughter of an iron ore miner. To the daughter of a teacher and a newspaperman. You gave me, minnesota, the opportunity to be the first woman elected to the u. S. Senate from the state of minnesota. [applause] [cheers] and, america, you gave me this incredible year to be a candidate for president of the United States. [applause] [cheers] it is because you had faith in what we can achieve together. It is because of your undying belief that, for all of us, the best is yet to come. So, before our turn it over to our next president , i want to remind you of something really practical. Is super tuesday. And,row is super tuesday, texas, you are one big super tuesday state. 14 super tuesday states, including my home state of minnesota. So what i want all of you to do is vote for joe. Vote for decency. Vote for dignity. Hearts, for our country. That is what he will bring to the white house. And, with that, i give you the next president of the United States, joe biden. [applause] [cheers] amy. Amy. Amy. Amy. Joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe fmr. V. P. Biden thank you, thank you, thank you. Well, hello, dallas. My back. Ze for [cheers] but you have my back, and i promise i will have yours. [cheers] folks you, thank you, thank you. I want to make clear something. I cannot tell you how much the senators endorsement means to me. It is great to see her family, to see john and her brilliant daughter abigail, who is with her, and from the moment amy her run innnounced that snowstorm, it was not hard to see that she had the grit and determination to do whatever she set her mind to. Amy knows how to get things done. She really does. That is why amy has never lost. And she is not losing now. You will hear a lot from Amy Klobuchar for a long, long time. [applause] [cheers] that is why she is one of the most affect senators in the United States senate. Her campaign was all about what we could get done. How to make america better every day, in simple, straightforward ways. Folks, the story that amy tells , with frequenton roosevelt and as a train went by she believes in that notion that i did not know the president , but he knew me. Let me tell you something it is everything that amy is about. Nobody who has ever dealt with her does not inc. That she doesnt think that she know them. Isnt that what is missing with this president today . About something in my campaign as well to compete the total lack of decency in this current president. He cannot stay there. He cannot stay. There is no sense of decency or honor. The way he ridicules people. The way he demeans people. The way he talks about and demonizes people who are different. The fact that he is so self absorbed does not seem to care about anything, anything else in this country. Knew i believed that he was not going to be a very good president. But i have to admit to you, with donald trump, i did not have any idea just how much he was going to be always about donald trump. And it is having a corrosive impact. It is having a corrosive impact on our children. Reports ofeady seen children in school mimicking the behavior of the president. A large piece in the Washington Post talked about the way in which teachers are finding kids are bullying other kids and quoting the president , using the president s language. Singling out immigrants for ridicule and harassment. What in gods name did we expect . What did we think was going to happen when this behavior became so clear . When teachers try to deal with this kind of behavior, is it any surprise that the kids will say, well, thats what the president does . Apparently, the washington that thiscle laid out student told teachers that is what the president does. Our children are listening. It has a profound impact on our society. I have said, many times, that this nation will be able to overcome four years of donald trump. , heif this man is reelected will fundamentally alter who we are as a nation for the generation to come, and we cannot let that happen. [applause] [cheers] amy, thank you. Thank you for being here tonight. Thank you for your friendship. And thank you for your support. I want to also thank you for the voice you are going to supply in this race. Thank you for your endorsement. I am truly honored to have it. And i was not joking amy won all the debates. [laughter] and i sure glad i was not on stage beating you again, amy. Folks, you know, just a few days ago, the press and the pundits declared this campaign dead. But South Carolina had something to say about it. [applause] [cheers] and minnesotas and the rest of the super tuesday states, they will have a lot to say about it. Will be oney do, we our way to defeating donald trump. And my message to every person who has been knocked down, counted out, left hind this is your campaign left behind this is your campaign we need you. We want you. Go to joebiden. Com. Signed up to volunteer. We need you. And we are going to do this. The decision the Democratic Party will make in the next few weeks will determine what this party stands for. What we believe and what we are able to get done. If democrats want a nominee to beat donald trump, keep nancy pelosi speaker of the house, making sure we take back the United States senate and the texas state legislature, then join us name acrats want to nominee who will build obamacare, not scrap it, take on the gun manufacturers, protect our children, who will stand up for the middle class, not raise taxes, then join us. If democrats want a nominee who is a democrat, a lifelong democrat, a proud democrat, and obamabiden democrat, then join us. [cheers] [applause] we can either win big or lose big. We need to build a coalition and a legacy of one of the most successor president s of our lifetime, barack obama. [cheers] bringing thehis by country together. That is what has united amy and me all along. The idea that we had to unite our country. We were made fun of our by our competition. We refuse that republicans are our enemies. This time, we have to bring around everybody. Gender,ce, ethnicity, disability, or economic situation. Democrats, republicans, independents any strike. That is why i am so excited to bring amy who endorsed our campaign. Who endorsed as well. Includingdorsement congressman. Mayors who joined in just the last two days. Most americans do not want the promise of a revolution. They want results. They want a revival of decency, honor, and character. They want to give all americans access to real opportunities. Goodve affordable and health care for everyone. An environment with clean air and clean water. An Education System that finds our schools, pays teachers a decent wage. That is the uniqueness of america. We are based on an idea. We have never lived up to it, but we have never before walked away from it like this president has. [cheers] [applause] ofelieve, with every fiber my being, what we have done in every generation is further open the aperture for inclusion. Making sure that people have a shot. Peopleto recognize three who have dedicated their careers to fighting for a more perfect union. Colin howard. He flipped this district and help take back the house in 2016. He did what i only dreamed of doing. Played in the nfl. [laughter] hell of an athlete and what a great congressman. We need to make sure he holds that in november. And mark he has done incredible work. Helped lead the fight against the erosion of the Voting Rights act, against the erosion of voting in this nation. Half the states in this nation have put up barriers. It is the new jim crow all over again. Bernice is a legend that she is a woman who knows how to get things done for the people of dallas. And she leaves nobody behind. Trumps of donald divisiveness will soon be over. I guarantee we can build a more perfect union. Because the American People have now seen the alternative. There are two way people get inspired. Rateget inspired by leaders like lincoln and roosevelt and kennedy and obama. But they also get inspired by very bad leaders. I really mean it. I really mean it. This president has ripped the bandaid off, exposed just how venal he has become and how he has literally strangled the life out of the republican party. So, folks, we got a shot. This is bigger than whether a democrat wins. This is about restoring the character of america. It is not a joke. Because we have been damaged all over the world. We have been damaged badly. His embrace of thugs and dictators, the way he treats our military and talks about them, the way he demeans people entlemen, he has never done anything then seek division. So, folks, it is time to get back up. Andre decent and brave resilient people. We are better than this moment, better than this president. So get up lets take this country for the United States of america. Everything we can, we do it together. God bless you all, and may god protect our troops. [applause] [cheers] folks, thank you. There is one more person i want to thank. A man who electrified the state and nation. A man who has a enormous compassion and courage in the wake of the shooting in el paso. A man with unlimited future. I man who will be changing this nation for the better for many years to come. Ladies and gentlemen, beto orourke [applause] [cheers] wife s come on, beto and amy. Watch your step here. God love you. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. [applause] [cheers] beto dallas [cheers] anybody from the rio grande panhandle . Aso the texarkana and east texas . The 254f of everyone of counties of this great state, we welcome dr. Jill biden and Vice President joe biden [speaking spanish] [applause] [cheers] ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow, march 3, 2020 tomorrow, i will g my ballot for joe biden. [applause] [cheers] lets go, joe lets go, joe lets go, joe beto and let me tell you why. We need somebody who can beat donald trump. The man in the white house today poses an existential threat to this country, to our democracy, to free and fair elections. And we need somebody who can beat him. And, in joe biden, we have that man. We have someone who is the antithesis of donald trump. Joe biden is decent. He is kind. He is caring. He is empathetic. I do not know if you saw this last week. The Vice President was at a town hall in South Carolina. And reverend Anthony Thompson came up to the microphone and talked about losing his wife at mother emanuel ame in South Carolina in 2015. To him,iden listened with his eyes closed, so he could concentrate on every single word that man said. And then he spoke back to him, and to all of us, from his heart, filled with compassion and love and the power to heal. He wanted to heal that man. If wanted to heal charleston, South Carolina he wanted to heal charleston, South Carolina. But as someone who lives in el paso, texas, who saw another white nationalists rampage which saw 22 people killed, solely based on their ethnicity we felt joe biden healing us. At a time this country is so polarized, so deeply divided, we need somebody who can bring us together and heal us. We need someone who can really establish reestablish the moral authority of the United States. We need somebody who will fight for democracy here and abroad. Because democracy is under attack here and abroad. We need joe biden. [applause] [cheers] and, mr. Vice president , i have traveled to each one of the 254 counties of texas. I know this state. And ive got to tell you
