'If you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us, not the worst. I will be an ally of the light, not the darkness.'
On the final night of the virtual Democratic National Convention, Joe Biden formally accepted the nomination for president, more than three decades after he first ran for the office. Biden was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972 and stayed until 2009, when he joined President Barack Obama's office as vice president for eight years. Now, Biden is finally leading the ticket, and another historic one at that, with vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris at his side.
After a week-long slate of political heavyweights, Biden finished out the convention with a speech of his own, talking to the nation about the crises we are all facing: the pandemic, the recession, the calls for racial justice, and the threats of climate change. He conveyed his vision for the future of America, one of light and hope.This content is imported from Twitter.
