On Thursday, President Obama came to Atlanta to campaign for Raphael Warnock, just a few days before Election Day on December 6. Watch Obama make the powerful case to keep working until Rev. Warnock is re-elected in the final two minutes of his speech:

Never tire! WE CAN’T GET TIRED! If those who came before us, and faced seemingly insurmountable hurdles, persisted who are we to tire? Set an example for the next generation! Thank you, @BarackObama for this necessary reminder. pic.twitter.com/MsmfPLcYxX

Transcript:

And I always thought to myself: If Ms. Cooper didn't get tired, then I can't be tired. If John Lewis, even in his seventies, wasn't tired, I've got no excuses, I can't be tired.

And if I'm not tired, you can't be tired.

If the men and women, who had to endure the stain of discrimination, the smack of billy clubs, weren't tired. If the folks who had to fight those early fights - those were the tough fights - for union rights and voting rights and gay rights and women's rights, if they didn't get tired, you can't be tired.

So you gotta go out there and keep working. You have to stay focused. Because if you do, if you put everything you've got into the next few days, if you vote, if you get your friends to vote, and your neighbours to vote. If you do all that, not only will we re-elect Raphael Warnock, not only will we keep Georgia and America on a path to a better future. But we will be setting an example for a 4-year old right here, and laying a foundation for him to build on, and that 1-year old over there, and I've seen a 3-months old over there.

They're watching right now to see if we're gonna get tired. And I'm gonna tell them right now: We're not going to be tired. We're going to bring it on home!

Let's make this happen, Georgia.

I love you.

God bless you.

Let's finish the job!
