These were tweeted by Nevada journalist Jon Ralston. I hope video of the speech will be available soon.

See the images below for the longest excerpts from the speech I've been able to find so far. Sorry I don't have plain text to copy here.

"Let me make something clear to Trump and his hatchet men and the special interests funding his attacks against me – I’m not going anywhere."

Editing to link to a thread with some short video clips of the speech. Still haven't found video of the full speech, though there was a livestream from a local station and from CBSN earlier.

11. Biden, in fiery remarks, tells Trump: "I'm not going anywhere"

Biden, who spent four decades in the Senate, has sought to separate Trump and his base from the Republican Party that contains his friends and peers. But in his remarks, Biden intends to slam the GOP.

“He is repeatedly smearing me and my family. His party fans out to carry the smear,” Biden will say, according to excerpts of Biden’s prepared remarks in Reno, Nev.

“Let me make something clear to Trump and his hatchet men and the special interests funding his attacks against me — I’m not going anywhere,” Biden will say. “You’re not going to destroy me. And you’re not going to destroy my family. I don’t care how much money you spend or how dirty the attacks get.”

Democrats have begun to worry that Trump’s relentless attacks on Biden will weigh on the campaign, even if they’re baseless. If Biden is the Democratic nominee there is fear that Trump could succeed in sowing doubt in voters’ minds.

13. Mahalo, highplainsdem!

My internet has been out and it keeps going back and forth.. I don't know what's wrong. But I want to get this posted fast before it goes out again!

So happy Biden gave such a great "fiery" speech!

16. Thank you for all you've done

for us and Joe Biden, highplainsdem!

17. Wow!

That's exactly the right attack mode and tone. We can't shrink from the ugliness or back down or submit. You take the battle directly to Trump and tell it like it is: abuse of power, propaganda and smears vs staying focused on the important issues facing the country, the kind that affect the daily lives of all Americans.

I'm loving this! Joe's the man and this is his moment.

Thanks, highplainsdem.
