[applause] please welcome abigail, john, doctor jill biden, Amy Klobuchar and Vice President joe biden. [cheering] thank you unbelievable. How great is it to be here in dallas, texas . [cheering] and how great it is to be here with my family, john and abigail and with Vice President joe biden. And how wonderful it is to be standing next to him on the stage when it isnt the debate stage. [cheering] so, i actually asked you all know announced my campaign for president in the middle of a minnesota blizzard just so i could impress everyone in texas. [cheering] and in particular, everyone in dallas. So, we didnt let the snow stop us. We didnt let the cold stop us. We did continue through that speech because thats what we do in the heartland. We made the campaign go a long way, and our Homegrown Campaign with a tremendous staff that stuck together from the beginning and volunteers beat the odds and that got me up here right now on this stage in dallas. [applause] and the most amazing thing was getting to know so many people across the country, and i know the Vice President does this as well. The vietnam vet as he talked about having his son from mental illness. The rancher that voted for donald trump that after he saw him give a speech in front of that sacred wall with a cia star of those that lost their lives in the line of duty decided he wasnt going to do it again. [applause] the immigrant mom who told me she works two jobs old 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 nonsense in our politics, and if you are tired of the extremes, you have a home with me and i think that you know you have a home with joe biden. [applause] so many people joined us, supported us as we carried forward with this simple but fundamental message in that it is time for americans to join hands and stick of pointing fingers instead of pointing fingers. It is time to turn back the division and hate and exclusion and bitterness coming into this time to Work Together to lift up those who are left out and to bring people with us instead of shoving them away. [applause] i believe it is the reason i enm up here that we are never going to out divide the decider in chief. 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 action it is up to us, all of us to put the country back together, to heal the country and then to build something even greater. I believe we can do this together and that is why today i am ending my campaign and endorsing joe biden. [applause] [cheering] 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 moms, the farmer, the dreamer, for the builder, for the veteran. He can bring our country together and filled that coalition of our fighters of democratic faith and as well as independents and moderate republicans because we do not in our party want to get by a victory, we want to win big. [applause] as you know from all the work he has done, he will not just govern with his hat. He has a lot of good ideas, but he will also govern with his heart and i know that you know in this great state of texas the heart of this country is bigger than the heart of the guy in the white house. [applause] this time, and america america,a president that understand that service is not about selfinterest. It is about sacrifice. [cheering] 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 the extremes that are trying to drown out people. And most of all, it is time and this is what i feel so strongly about is time for a president that will bring decency and dignity back to the white house. [applause] [cheering] [chanting] at one of the debates, the many debates, i told a story [laughter] i told the story of Franklin Delano roosevelt and when he died he put his body on a train that went from georgia to washington, d. C. The story is people spontaneously stood along the stream tracks to show their respect. And a reporter came up on a regular guy that just had his hat in his hands and he was sobbing. The reporter said to him sir, do you mind me asking did you know president roosevelt . And the guy says no, i didnt know the president , but he knew me. He knew me. [cheering] and that is exactly what is missing right now in the white house. We have a president that has no empathy, but cannot put himself in the shoes of the people of this country. Well, guess who can do that, and that is joe biden. [applause] [chanting we love joe ] so, if you out there are trying to figure out how you can 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. If you are someone trying to decide how to be paid fo pay foe longterm care of your parents and child care or college for your kids, show knows you and he will fight for you. And if youre 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 than by joining his. [applause] [cheering] because america, you gave an opportunity for the granddaughter of an iron ore miner, the daughter of a teacher and a newspaper man. You gave me, minnesota, the opportunity to be the first woman elected to the u. S. Senate in the state of minnesota. In america, you gave me this incredible year to be a candidate for president of the United States. [applause] [cheering] it is because you have 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 i turn it over to the next president , i want to remind you of something really practical. Tomorrow is super tuesday. There are 14 super tuesday states including my home state of minnesota. [cheering] so, what i want all of you to do is vote for joe. Vote for decency, vote for dignity, vote for the heart of 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] thank you. Hello, dallas. As my mom would say, i apologize for my back. If you have my back i promise i will have yours. You know, i want to make something clear. I cant tell you how much the senators endorsement means to me. Its great to see her family, her husband john into their brilliant daughter and fr
