00:00Mr. Garcia, Mr. Garcia, Mr. Garcia, do you have confidence, do you have confidence as

00:07Biden as your party's nominee?

00:08Absolutely.

00:09He's been a great, done a great job as president.

00:12He has delivered for the American people over and over again.

00:15And the election is going to be a binary choice.

00:16It's going to be between the president and a convicted felon who attacked the Capitol.

00:21And so I think, I think voters will have a choice.

00:23Do you think the voters recognize that after that stumbling performance last night?

00:27Look, I get that President Biden had a sore throat.

00:32Apparently was not feeling well.

00:33At the end of the day, we've seen the president in action for years.

00:38We know what he's like.

00:39And I think 20 minutes of the debate, half an hour of the debate, where he did obviously

00:43have some sort of throat challenge or perhaps was sick.

00:47I don't think it's going to matter at the end of the day.

00:48You don't think he'd be better off with a better candidate?

00:51Absolutely not.

00:52One person, there's one person in this country that has defeated Donald Trump and his name

00:57is Joe Biden.

00:58So the one person that can beat Donald Trump again is a person that already beat him.

01:02And let's be really clear about the president's record.

01:05The president has lowered the cost of healthcare.

01:07He is protecting abortion rights and fighting for abortion rights across this country.

01:12He's making sure that we're expanding infrastructure.

01:13And so he actually has a record to run on.

01:16And the truth is voters are going to have a choice.

01:18Then you have Donald Trump, who, by the way, couldn't say one factual thing in the entire

01:23debate.

01:24The entire debate, all he did was lie after lie after lie after lie.

01:29But Congressman, if the president can't articulate that record, isn't that a problem for you

01:34and the Congress?

01:35Look, let's be really clear.

01:36I think what we had last night was an issue of maybe style and substance, but on the substance,

01:41the president articulated his message very clearly.

01:43He talked about issues around infrastructure, around ensuring that the insulin cost of work

01:48he's done there.

01:49He talked about defending Roe and defending natural access to abortion.

01:53And he took on Donald Trump for the attack on the Capitol.

01:55So he was very clear, maybe with a little bit of a sore throat, but he was very clear

02:00about his message last night.

02:01And I was proud of Joe Biden.

02:02Joe Biden has always been there for us.

02:04This party was going to stay united behind the president.

02:07He's going to be our nominee.

02:08We're going to defeat Donald Trump.

02:09So you want him to stand as the nominee?

02:10100%.

02:11There's nobody I would rather have as their nominee than Joe Biden.
