IN FULL: Biden delivers farewell speech at Democratic convention

An emotional Joe Biden has taken to the stage at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Illinois to deliver his valedictory address at the convention’s opening night.

A refreshed Democratic Party gathered on Monday night at the United Centre in Chicago as Vice President Kamala Harris prepares to take up the mantle as the party’s presidential candidate in November.

But, after 52 years of rising to the pinnacle of influence within his party, Mr Biden, 81, received a hero’s welcome for the act of stepping aside for Ms Harris.

Trust me, this is the Joe Democrat has been looking for all year, especially on that debate with trump, true speaking what happened now?this is 💯 percent different Joe

Great point about infrastructure. The divide between rural and urban/suburban infrastructure is a major handicap. Decent internet is a need similar to FDR's rural electrification act. Another good point, the real victims of Big Pharma's price gouging were the taxpayers, having to pay the arbitrarily chosen prices they demanded. And thank you for the strong statement on assault weapons and universal background checks.

There was no public tickets sold at this event. Only delegates, media, chosen volunteers.

And do you know why we can lead the world? Because we ARE the great American melting pot; let's start acting like it!

[randyerwin]

Time comes for all of us. Some know how to handle that. Others don't.

Americans seem to fully understand precisely what is at stake in November 2024. Meanwhile the rest of the world watches with interest. There is so much to improve: in particular to increase taxation of the super billionaire class; and to defend democracy principles. War, especially in Ukraine & Gaza/West Bank must cease!

Truly a great STATESMAN... He exemplifies what our founding fathers hoped future leaders would be like, great men who devote their lives for the betterment of our unique and amazing democracy. This guy's my hero. What a magnificent American. His legacy will have been saving our democracy from a very evil man.

As long as I live, I will ALWAYS be eternally grateful to President Biden for saving us from trump. His wisdom guided us back from the disastrous situation we were in from Covid and from that POS that unfortunately lived in the White House the 4 years prior. Without him, and allll the hard work he did for us our country would surely have been lost. THANK YOU JOE, you are one of the great ones and you will be missed. 💙
