EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: "Look, what the President said last night was that when it comes to MAGA Republicans, when it comes to the extreme ultra wing of Republicans, they are attacking democracy, right? They are attacking taking away rights and freedoms. They are using threats of violence. They are taking away voting rights. And he called it what it is, that’s what he did. He called it what it is and what many would argue, you know, historians would agree with us on. And so what Joe Biden believes is as president, he should and the President should be the strongest voice for democracy. And so he was making that very clear, he was making that contrast to what congressional Democrats have been doing, which is fighting for our rights, fighting for freedom, delivering on an economy that is historic, 10 million jobs that have been created, lowering health care, lowering prescription drugs, and making sure that we take on those special interest groups. And we saw just a couple weeks ago that we won. So he’s making that contrast, trying to make that very clear of what we’re seeing today.”
