Biden has turned Trump’s attacks on his mental acuity back on Trump. “He either doesn’t understand his job or is having a difficult time sitting down & reading those reports...I don’t know how he can not read & not see & not know so many things that have come up in the last 3yrs” — PolitiTweet.org

Biden to Trump: “You called yourself a cheerleader. We don’t need a cheerleader, Mr. president. We need a president, Mr. president. A president will level with the American people, a president will tell us the unvarnished truth.” — PolitiTweet.org

“Wear a mask, period,” Biden said. “It’s about keeping other people safe. It’s a simple measure, but it’s also one of the most effective ways we can do the right thing. it may be inconvenient, it may be uncomfortable, but it’s the right thing to do as Americans.” — PolitiTweet.org

Very little mention of Trump on this fundraiser. Obama knocked "A White House...that has gone at the very foundations of who we are and who we should be...That sees the Justice Department as simply an extension of the personal concerns of the president." Full quote: https://t.co/sWSDou7IcF — PolitiTweet.org

Plenty of Dems warning supporters not to become complacent on this call. Obama: "Just cause this energy is out there does not mean that it assures our victory and it does not mean that it gets channeled in a way that results in real change, because…there’s a backlash." — PolitiTweet.org

Obama: "But one of the things that counts the most is that somebody, whatever mistakes they've made, whatever hardships they’ve gone through, have they shown and have they been tested to have the kind of character that stands up...that's who he is" 2/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Obama, in pitch to younger voters, acknowledges: "I’ll be honest—and hoping Joe doesn’t take offense by this — Joe’s been around for a while. And sometimes what happens is we take that for granted, and there’s a tendency to always look for the new and shiny object." 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

@davidplouffe warns Biden's "not gonna win states by 14 or 15, much less 10...Ignore the polls, and assume this is going to be super close, and if it’s not, we’re going to need you to make sure we harvest every vote out there." — PolitiTweet.org

@jomalleydillon says due to the coronavirus, "When it's appropriate, we’ll go out there and do some of the traditional engagement that we would expect to see” and while typically door-knocking is the “gold standard,” now, “the gold standard is creating community.” — PolitiTweet.org

‘@jomalleydillon says some would call VA, NH & CO “safe states, I would not call them safe,” says they’re only safe “if we do the work to make sure that we win.” Adds "we cannot take for granted that this is going to be a close election," predicts polls tightening up. — PolitiTweet.org
