Thank you.

Thank you.

South Carolina.

My buddy Jim Driver.

And you brought me back.

Thats a man of enormous integrity.

All those you've been knocked down, counted out, left behind.

This is your campaign.

Just days ago, the press and the pundits and declared his candidacy dead.

Now, thanks to all of you the heart of the Democratic plane we just wanted.

We've won big because we're very much I told you you could launch a candidacy.

You launched Bill Clinton Barack Obama to the presidency.

Now watch campaign on the path to defeating Donald Trump thing campaign is taking.

So join us.

Go to joe biden dot com Sign up, Volunteer Contributed Campa, we need you.

We want you.

And there's a place for you in this campaign, folks, as we celebrate tonight here in Colombia, talk directly to Democrats across America, especially those who will be voting on Super Tuesday.

This boat, this is the moment to choose the path forward for our for our party.

This is the moment, and it's arrived Maybe sooner than anyone guessed it would.

But it's here, And the decisions Democrats make all across America next few days will determine what this party stands for, what we believe and what will get done.

Democrats nominate me.

I believe we can beat down true thing close in the House of Representatives, a speaker and take back the United States Senate.

Fellow Democrats across America join us.

Democrats want to nominate someone who will build on Obamacare, not scrap it.

Take take on Anna and gun manufacturers, not protective.

Stand up and give the poor fighting chance for the middle class.

Get restored, not raise their taxes and make keep the promises we make, then join us.

And if the Democrats want a nominee, who's a Democrat?

Democrat, Democrat on Obama?

Biden, Democrat.

We have the option to winning.

Bigger, losing big.

That's the choice we need to build on the coalition.

The legacy of the most successful president, our lifetime Barack Obama way do this is by bringing America together.

Very race, ethnicity, gender, economic station, Democrats, Republicans, independents.

People have every strike look just like we did here in South Carolina, way like we could do across the entire country on Tuesday and beyond.

Folks win bigger lose.

That's a choice Most Americans don't want the promise of revolution they want more than promises they want results.

Thay want to give all Americans access to real opportunity to Babel of affordable health care for all Americans and environment with clean air, clean water and education.

Is is the funds are schools, pays our teachers, makes community college free, a nation that will stand up to and beat the night before my criminal justice system root out institutional rations liberalized.

Mobilized the world against climate change in an economy that works, rewards work, not just wealth.

My dad used to say Joey and Jobs about a lot more in the paycheck.

It's about your dignity.

It's about days is his respect.

It's about your place in the community being able look your kid in the eye and say, Honey, it's gonna be okay for all our families, for all our communities because that's the right thing to do.

That's what makes us Democrats.

Talk is cheap.

False promises are deceptive and talk about revolution and changing anyone's life.

We need real changes right now.

Something I've done my whole career.

Now do is president.

This is election to spend all our time in the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party.

This is a battle for the soul of the United States of America.

One incredibly careless moment is all of you know, when he means uniting America, not sewing more division and anger.

It may not only fighting but healing the country.

We have to make Donald Trump the Republican Party.

But here's the deal.

We can't become like them way.

Can't become like them way.

Can't have a never ending war.

Above all, it's time for America to get back up.

The country is so ready, so ready once again fight for the proposition that we hold these truths to be self evident.

But all men and women are created equal, die by the crater with certain inalienable rights.

We say it all the time, but we've never fully lived up to it.

But we've never before until this president walked away from it.

And it's the reason why Jam and I and all of us are in this, I believe with every fiber of my being that all men and women are created equal.

You know, I saw it a few days ago in a town hall in Charleston.

Jim, I spoke with Reverend Anthony Thompson whose wife, Myra, was studying the words of her Bible with eight other persons and Mother Emanuel four and 1/2 years ago.

It was a weekly routine, reading Scripture and finding Purpose and Faith in God and each other and invested Hey, vengeance, white supremacy Pierce that faith.

They were lost forever.

But you know what?

I found the most remarkable thing in my career thus far remarkable.

Reverend Thompson and the families of the Emanuel nine is through all that pain, all that grief they forgave.

And here's the deal.

In their forgiveness, they brought more change to South Carolina that any it's occurred over the previous 100 years.

Confederate fly came down.

We'll change.

That's why the Sunday after Jill and I and my family, we came back to Mother Emanuel on Sunday.

Service is after the funeral of the victims because six weeks early really lost our son Beau, and we needed to be healed, too.

We need to be healed.

I really mean this.

We need it.

Whatever they were exuding.

And with every season this past, they've gotten up and found purpose to live life worthy of the ones they lost worthy.

The blessings to live in this remarkable country.

We left here coming, arrived in overwhelming pain, thinking We can do this, we'll get through this.

So I want to tell you it's no small reason why I'm in this race.

People like all of you here tonight all around the country the days of Donald Trump's divisiveness will soon be over.

Ther Jim Toqueville He was right.

This moly ethnic country we call our democracy America.

You can't survive unless we focus on our goodness.

We can build a more perfect union because the American people in the last three and 1/2 years have seen the alternative.

No, I really mean it.

Think about it.

They've seen how utterly mean, selfish, lack of any sense of empathy.

Our concern for anybody else.

President who not only has horrible policies, but the way he marks it makes fun of other people.

All of you here in South Carolina, especially Jim Clyburn, my friend, who lifted me in this campaign on his shoulders.

Many I don't have time today.

All of you.

We, Jill and I, our daughter Ashley.

My son Hunter has been on the phone straight through for me.

My brother, my sister, two brothers, my sister, my four grand's five grandchildren.

My four granddaughters have come out on the campaign trail.

We'll never forget what you've done for us, waken say without fear of contradiction.

The Bidens love you guys.

I love you.

That's really looks way you stand behind Jamie has way Need to say Joe Cunningham back.

Representative.

You all the Bidens.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

Everything you've done for us, folks.

So here's the deal.

Let's get back up decently.

We're resilient people way Can't believe again.

We're better than this, Mom, We're better than this prison.

So get up.

Take back our country.

This is the United States of America.

There's nothing beyond our capacity.

If we do it together God bless you all.
