You got to have a courageous president to stand up and says, listen, if - if you send a bill to me that spends more money than what we've coming in, I'll veto it. I mean, I'm going to try to work with you the best I can, but I'm going to veto it.

Let me say this as your incoming chair of the Democratic national committee: I promise you, my friends, I commit to all Americans, that we will have a party that you can be proud of. We will elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

I've decided to lead in a way that takes people with me. It's the approach that I think will stand not only our party but also our state in good stead.

I'll listen to the people. I will not put my party ahead of what the people want.

Let me do what I do best. And that's to run and represent my country and make my country proud.

Together, we will lead our party back to the White House, and we will lead our country back to safety, prosperity, and peace.

It's important to remember that whatever the presidential candidates of either party say, they will have to interact with the United States Congress, particularly the Senate, when it comes to crafting policy... we play an important role. And I'm going to continue to play that role, whoever is president.

As president, I will bring all the parties and stakeholders together. I am going to come up with a solution that respects the environment and does not cause an upheaval in the economy.

Whatever my party affiliation, I will continue to be guided by President Kennedy's statement that sometimes party asks too much.
