2019-2021 Town Halls: on Homeland Security

Joe Biden: Greatest terror threat to America is domestic terror

That is the greatest threat to terror in America, domestic terror. I would make sure that my Justice Department and the civil rights division is focused heavily on those very folks, and I would make sure that we, in fact, focus on how to deal with the rise of white supremacy. It is a bane on our existence. It has always been. As Lincoln said, we have to appeal to our better angels, and these guys are not -- and women -- are, in fact, demented. They are dangerous people.

Joe Biden: Protect electoral process from disinformation

I joined an international organization headed by the former head of NATO to work out an agreement that everyone running for office, both in Europe and the United States, would take the pledge that they would not use any disinformation period in an election. Any foreign power that provided information or tried to get engaged in an electoral process in any one of the countries would be reported immediately.
