Um, let me begin by reiterating what I have said from day one of this campaign.

And that is that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the modern history of our country, and he must be defeated.

Tragically, we have a president today who is a pathological liar, and it was running a corrupt administration.

He clearly does not understand the Constitution of the United States and thinks that he is a president who is above the law.

In my view, he is a racist, a sexist homophobe, a xenophobe and a religious bigot.

And I will do everything in my power to make that happen.

Last night obviously, was not a good night for our campaign.

From a delegate point of view, we lost in the largest state up for grabs yesterday.

We lost in Mississippi, Missouri and Idaho.

On the other hand, we won in North Dakota and we lead the vote count in the state of Washington, the second largest state contested yesterday with 67% of the votes have been counted.

What became even more apparent yesterday is that while we are currently losing the delegate count approximately 800 delegates for Joe Biden and 660 for us we are strongly winning into enormously important areas which will determine the future off our country.

Poll after poll, including exit polls, show that a strong majority of the American people support our progressive agenda.

The American people are deeply concerned about the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality in this country, and the American people want the wealthy and large profitable corporations to start paying their fair share of taxes.

Overwhelming support for that The American people understand that the federal minimum wage of 7 25 an hour is a starvation wage.

They want to raise the minimum wage in this country to a living wage of atleast $15 an hour.

And the American people understand that of our kids are going to make it into the middle class of this country.

We must make public colleges and universities and trade schools tuition free.

The American people understand that we cannot continue a cruel and dysfunctional health care system, and it is amazing to me to see that even in conservative states like Mississippi, there is an overwhelming understanding that we are now spending twice as much per capita on health camp as through the people of any other country, while 87 million of us remain uninsured or underinsured.

And this crisis, this absurd healthcare system is becoming more and more obvious to the American people as we face the challenge of the Corona virus pandemic that we are currently experiencing.

Imagine facing a pandemic and having 87 million people who are having a difficult time going to a doctor when they need.

And the American people know, unlike Donald Trump, that climate change is an existential threat to our country on the planet and that we need to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy.

And the American people also know that we need fundamental transformation of a broken and racist criminal justice system as well as a cruel immigration system that K keeps millions of people living in fear.

But it is not just the ideological debate that our progressive movement is winning.

We are winning the generational debate well.

Joe Biden continues to do very well with older Americans, especially those people over 65.

Our campaign continues to win the vast majority off the votes of younger people, and I am talking about people not just in their twenties but in their thirties and their forties.

The younger generations off this country continue in very strong numbers to support our campaign today.

I say to the Democratic establishment, In order to win in the future, you need to win the voters who represents the future of our country, and you must speak to the issues off concern to them.

You cannot simply be satisfied by winning the votes of people who are older.

While our campaign has won the ideological debate, we are losing the debate over electability.

I cannot tell you how many people our campaign has spoken to who have said, and I quote, I like what your campaign stands for.

I agree with what your campaign stands for, but I'm gonna vote for Joe Biden because I think Joe is the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump.

We have heard that statement all over this country.

Needless to say, I strongly disagree with that assertion.

But that is what millions of Democrats and independents today believe.

On Sunday, I very much look forward to the debate in Arizona with my friend Joe Biden and let me be very Frank as though the questions that I will be asking Joe job, What are you going to do for the 500,000 people go bankrupt in our country because of medically related debt?

And what are you going to do for the working people off this country and small business people who are paying on average 20% of their incomes?

Joe, what are you going to do to end the absurdity of the United States of America being the only major country on Earth where health care is not a human right?

Are you really going to veto a Medicare for all Bill if it is passed in Congress?

Joe, how are you going to respond to the scientists who tell us we have seven or eight years remaining to transform our energy system before irreparable home takes place to this planet because of the ravages of climate change?

Joe, in a time when most young people need a higher education to make it into the middle class.

What are you going to do to make sure that all of our people can go to college or trade school, regardless off their income?

And what are you going to do about the millions off people who are struggling with outrageous levels of student debt?

Joe, at a time when we have more people in jail, then Communist China a nation four times our size, what are you going to do?

Toe and mass incarceration and a racist criminal justice system?

And what are you going to do to end the terror that millions of undocumented people experience right now because of our broken and inhumane immigration system?

Joe, what are you going to do about the fact that we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any major country on Earth and a living with the fact that 500,000 people tonight homeless and 18 million families are spending half of their income to put a roof over their heads?

Joe importantly, what are you going to do?

End the absurdity of billionaires buying elections and the three wealthiest people in America owning more wealth in the bottom half about people.

Donald Trump must be defeated and I will do everything in my power to make.

That happens on Sunday night in the 1st 1 on one debate of this campaign, the American people will have the opportunity to see which candidate is best positioned to accomplish that goal.
