  1. “I've forgotten his back during the Affordable Care Act. We had a provision of Medicare at 55, and one senator, Joe Lieberman, changed his mind on a Sunday show and one of those Sunday shows and said it was a moral issue when clearly it was a Hartford insurance issue, if I can say that.”

  2. “I do. I think the question is do we eliminate the filibuster in the first week or two or do we wait till Republicans block something significant and then say see they're not going to let us pass anything? I think it's pretty certain we just can't do what we need to do without and we can't do much of anything with this Republican opposition even if there are only 46 or 7 Republicans they will be able to block all kinds of things minimum wage fixing the overtime rule, Medicare at 55 student what we can do about student debt climate issues on all the great moral issues of our time wealth inequality structural racism climate the Republicans They don't buy the science even.”

  3. “That McConnell's saying we're not going to do anything on this coronavirus package, even when Jay Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve, who's a Trump appointee, as you know, nominated as chair of the Federal Reserve, is Powell saying you've got to spend, you've got an error on the side of doing more, not less. And McConnell is essentially shutting it down. I think they're already planning to do to Biden what they did to you and the president, President Obama when you came into office and hand you huge problems and then start attacking you immediately for not solving the problems quickly with no dollars. I mean, that's essentially what they will do next year.”

  4. “I've expected that we would win, and I think Trump senses that kind of has them in his brain that he's going to lose for some time, but I think this last week is the first time I've really thought about Electoral College landslide, the debates, and then the way he's handled his illness and his lack of empathy we knew, his caring about nobody himself we knew, but this is even two or three weeks before that, what he said about men and women who died in the service of their country. I think that began to move some sliver of voters. And then the taxes did, and then now this. And I think Trump, and I also think there may be a shift. This sounds a little conspiratorial, but I think McConnell knows he's going to lose the Senate too. And the fact that McConnell and Trump now are saying.”

  5. “Also makes Trump's whining and legal challenges. Everybody that knows anything about elections, including the media, will all say, hey, Biden won Ohio on this election. This election is certain.”

  6. “7 30 on election night or the early vote. Then the precinct workers begin to bring ballots in throughout the evening and those are counted. The only ballots that likely won't be counted by about 10 or 11 o'clock if things go as normal are absentees that are postmarked by election day but arrive later. So if you mail your absentee ballot the day before the election, it'll count, but it won't count until the board receives it, maybe the Thursday or Friday afterwards. But that's a small percentage of ballots. Those in what are called provisional ballots, but we will know if Ohio goes for Biden election night in essence is over for Trump.”

  7. “That's another big advantage, ohio, and that's what I that's the case I've been making to all kinds of people on the Biden campaign and outside the Biden campaign. If you allow an election night, all the early voting, the absentee voting, which started early voting started yesterday, people are starting to get their absentee ballots in the May Al County, and I've already sent for hours, and many people have 2 million people have already sent for absentee ballots in Ohio. The lines in early voting yesterday were comparable to a few days before the election kind of line starting at 4 o'clock in Columbus in the morning for an 8 o'clock opening of the board, which tells you something. But Ohio, they count all those early ballots. They open them and sort them and approve them and accept them in terms of checking for identification and all. That's all done. So normally the first ballots that are put in the computer, it's”

  8. “320 electoral votes or whatever. The other thing it does is it makes it easier to govern in 2021 that when an electoral college landslide. So Ohio's absolutely in play as is Arizona, as is a number of these states that Barack Obama carried. But I mean, I know he didn't carry Arizona, but North Carolina once. We can win these states. And I just think the contrast between Biden and Trump is so vivid increasingly. And voters in my state are seeing that.”

  9. “Well, thank you. I've been talking to the Biden people regularly, a handful of different people in the campaign and different functions since about June and pretty intensively. And at first, they didn't, you know, they don't need, Biden doesn't need Ohio to win. He wins Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, doesn't really need Florida, doesn't really need North Carolina or Ohio or even Arizona if he wins those states. But you obviously want to do better than that. If he wins Ohio, and I really think he's going to, it's a landslide, an electoral college landslide. And we know the importance of the electoral college landslide in two ways. One is that it will even take the legs out from under anything Trump tries to do in challenging the election as we know he will. It will look even stupider and more futile when Trump tries to do that if we get”

  10. “Educated women especially. There are workers that voted for Trump in 16. Some of them are coming back where I would hope they come back to to us and they are. And I think African American turnout, while it's not going to do as well as it did in 8 and 12 with Barack Obama that leads top of the ticket, it will do better than it did in 2016. In 2018, in my Senate re-election, we had the highest black turnout in the Midwest in Ohio. So we know how to do it here, African American engagement is always deep and broad here, and that's going to pay off this year.”

  11. “I remember a dozen years ago that you in the Center from Illinois flew to Ohio the Sunday night before the election because it was really the swing state in those days. And because 2016 was, if not an outlier, it certainly kind of to many people took Ohio out of the toss-up category, but it never really was. It's always been, it's been a toss-up state for years. It's been a swing state. In Ohioans feel, Biden is a pro-worker candidate, not afraid to use the word union. He will be campaigns through the eyes of workers contrasted with Trump's just regular betrayal of workers. And that has really come through. I think there's excitement in the suburbs among”
