'Thank You, Joe!' Democrats Celebrate Biden at DNC

Democrats gathered in Chicago for their convention on Monday with praise for Joe Biden’s presidency — and one last appeal to voters from the man who decided to leave it behind.
The president is hoping his appearance headlining the opening of the party’s convention can bolster Vice President Kamala Harris’ political prospects and help cement his legislative and policy legacy by denying Republican Donald Trump the chance to return to power.

But from the opening gavel, the party’s delicate and bittersweet gambit of celebrating Biden’s presidency while simultaneously passing the torch to a new generation was on full display. Leaders from each end of the party’s political spectrum prepared speeches hailing the current president while signaling enthusiasm for the party’s ticket.

Harris, in a surprise appearance, launched the primetime portion of the proceedings by vowing “a great week” while hailing Biden as an “incredible president.”

“Joe, thank you for your historic leadership for your lifetime of service to our nation,” Harris said. “And for all you will continue to do — we are forever grateful to you.”

You can love him, that's a commandment from God...but what he has done with his authority while in office, is nothing short of disgraceful...and he will be judged for his actions, like every human being.
