00:00This afternoon, the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit to stop the counting of ballots in Pennsylvania.
00:08That is simply wrong.
00:11It goes against the most basic principles of our democracy.
00:15It takes away the right of every American citizen to cast their vote and to choose our leaders.
00:23We have to have fair elections, and those elections have to be free of external influences.
00:30We need to have confidence that people are choosing their leaders and that the leaders are not choosing the people
00:36who vote for them.
00:38We need to make sure that the voters are choosing the leaders, not the other way around.
00:42Our election officials at the state and local levels should be free to do their jobs without fear, without intimidation,
00:49without attacks.
00:51These attempts to subvert the democratic process are simply disgraceful.
00:57We're going to fight every single attempt to disenfranchise voters.
01:02If you're talking about the Trump lawsuit, the one that Rudy Giuliani talked about, I think they were concerned about
01:09the lack of openness and transparency.
01:12Well, the Philadelphia that they're talking about has been streaming the processing of ballots, I think, right from the start,
01:21from the pre-canvassing period.
01:23We can't comment on active litigation, but I can tell you that we will oppose any effort, every effort, to
01:31at any point shut down the vote.
01:33We get to decide when the last vote is counted.
01:37Again, I can't comment on what any court is going to do, but no, we don't have any anticipation that
01:43the vote count is going to stop.
01:44I think it will continue until the last ballot is counted, and every vote is going to have the opportunity
01:49to cast their vote.
