You can tell when things are real, and tonight was one of the most positive and genuine moments in politics that I have witnessed in a very long time! No more darkness, no more lies, no more division, "we're not going back"!

I love seeing all the love Biden and our beautiful first lady received from that crowd We will always love Uncle Joe because he is everything our country needed at the moment and he was not too selfish to pass the torch to Kamala and it was great. I love hearing Rachel, Lawrence, Chris and Jen, and Stephanie, who all showed how our president's speech made them all feel emotional and so genuine this is the MSNBC I know and love no bashing of our President.
