Joe Biden has been speaking for more than 10 minutes and he hasn't referenced Trump by name a single time -- just "the Trump administration" twice

Biden says he gave "serious consideration" to naming Bernie Sanders as Labor Secretary, but they agreed they didn't want to risk control of the US Senate on a special election in Vermont. He says the two have "agreed to work closely on their shared agenda."

Biden sidesteps a question about whether he supports Trump's impeachment, but says "I have thought for a long time that President Trump was not fit to hold the job. That is why I ran."

"What the Congress decides to do is for them to decide," he adds.

"The difference here is this had the active encouragement of a sitting President of the United States" -- Biden says rioters who stormed the Capitol on Wednesday should be treated like domestic terrorists and should be prosecuted

"He is not fit to serve. He is one of the most incompetent presidents in the history of the US ... what 81 million people stood up and said [is] it's time for him to go'" -- Biden on Trump

"I was told on the way over here that he indicated he's not gonna show up on the inauguration -- one of the few things him and I have ever agreed on. It's a good thing, him not showing up." -- Biden

"He's welcome ... I'd be honored to have him there" -- Biden on Pence possibly attending the inauguration

Biden says "a number" of Republicans have called him since Wednesday to express outrage & embarrassment with Trump. He praises McConell & Romney for standing up & saying the right things on Senate floor, but adds "there's others who should be ashamed of themselves."

"I think they should be just flat beaten the next time they run ... they're part of the big lie ... there are decent people out there who actually believe these lies because they've heard them again and again" -- Biden on Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley
