The transition from President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden was a dangerous one for American democracy.

It had been a long campaign season with Trump determined to win a second term amidst a pandemic, economic ruin, and various other political disasters.

The anti-American radicals defaming our noble history heritage in heroes, they support Sleepy Joe Biden, Antifa, and the rioters, looters, Marxists, and left-wing extremists. They all support Biden.

Meanwhile, Biden was facing his own set of challenges, trying to hold his family together while fighting for what he called the Soul of America.

I said at the time, we're in a battle for the Soul of this nation. I said it again when I announced my candidacy.

And I say it here today, we are in a battle for the Soul of this nation.

And come election night, there were no quick answers. Results took weeks leaving room for conspiracies and lies.

We all watched the subsequent transition, play out, watched the January 6th attack on the Capitol unfold.

It was clear that our democracy was being tested, but it wasn't fully clear exactly how much.

We will never give up, we will never concede, it doesn't happen, you don't concede when this theft can go.

Oh, meanwhile, up on the steps of the backside of the Capitol, we're seeing protesters overcome the police.

The police are now running back into the Capitol building. We have cheers from the protesters that are watching behind the scenes.

To smash windows, occupy offices.

The floor of the United States Senate, rummaging through desks on the Capitol, on the House of Representatives.

Threatening the safety of duly elected officials, it's not protest, it's insurrection.

Now we gather, due to a selfish man's injured pride.

And the outrage of supporters who he has deliberately misinformed for the past two months and stirred to action this very morning.

I believe the president is dangerous and should not hold office one day longer.

He may have only 13 days left as president, but yesterday demonstrated that each and every one of those days is a threat to democracy so long as he is in power.

I joined the Senate Democrat leader in calling on the Vice President to remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th Amendment.

If the Vice President and the Cabinet do not act, the Congress may be prepared to move forward within impeachment.

Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa set out to uncover the details of what was playing out behind the scenes during this unprecedented transition of power.
