That’s why I’ve made it a priority in my entire career to work closely with you from the time I got to the Senate 180 years ago,” Biden said.

Biden then continued: “You know, I suppose my tenure as vice president. You know, if I have the honor of becoming your president, I make this commitment to you: You’re going to have an access directly to the White House and I am going to be right there with you helping you and your communities based on what you think you need and the challenges you are facing.”
