Joe Biden urges senators to 'deescalate,' listen to voters before Supreme Court confirmation vote: 'Just because you have the power to do something doesn't absolve you of your responsibility to do right by the American people.'
For the second Sunday in a row, former Vice President Joe Biden made remarks focused on the vacant Supreme Court seat.
"Uphold your constitutional duty. Summon your conscience. Stand up for the people. Stand up for our cherished system of checks and balances," he continues. "[The] U.S. Constitution provides one chance, one, for the Americans to have their voices heard on who serves a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, who makes those big decisions about their health care, their civil rights and much else. That chance is now. That moment is now. And the voters, in my view, are not going to stand for this abuse of power" Biden added.Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden speaks during a campaign event, Sept. 27, 2020, in Wilmington, Delaware.
