Just over 10 years ago i joined a military where firing me just because of who i am was not just possible. It was policy. Now it is unlawful in america to fire someone because of who they are or who they love. They very ring on my finger, a wedding we celebrated here where i stand reflects how this country can change. Real, but my marriage political courage made it possible including that of joe biden who stepped out ahead even at this party and he said that Marriage Equality ought to be the law of the land. Go, but a long way to if this much can change between 2010 and 2020, imagine what could change between now and 2030, what we could achieve, this very season, gathering progressives and moderates and even what i like to call future former republicans standing for an america where everyone belongs. Joe biden is right, this is a contest for the soul of the nation. To me that contest is not between good americans and people americans. It is the struggle to call out what is good in every american. It is up to us. Will america be a place for faith is about healing and not exclusion question mark can we become a country that lives up to the truth that black lives matter . Ofl we handle questions science and medicine by turning to scientists and doctors . Will we see to it that no one who works fulltime can live in poverty . And kamala biden harris to guide us into the future. The day i was born, the idea of an out candidate seeking any federal office at all was laughable, yet earlier this year i campaigned for the presidency often with my husband at my side, winning delegates to this very convention. Now i come to this convention probably supporting joe biden and Kamala Harris and joining fellow democrats could a number of us recently got together to talk about the joe we know. Cory booker im very excited to present to you a group of people that ran in the 2020 them a credit primary against joe biden. You can anchor that sort of like think of you can that sort of like survivor. , i have a question for you like why does my girlfriend like you more than she likes me . Bernie there is an obvious answer. i am wondering if you have some memories of what he was like as a colleague in the senator in the senate. I remember one night, no one was there, and no one was watching. I was all alone and i gave my empty to a completely chamber. I walked out of there and thought i wonder if my mom was even watching this on cspan. At that moment the cell phone rings and i actually thought maybe my mom was watching it on cspan. It was joe biden. The credit goes not only to his kindness for calling me but it also goes to how much he cares about the government and what people are saying and that even when he is at home at night he is watching and he cares. Senator sanders . But did your mother watch the speech . One time he pulled me aside and pointed to somebody who we both knew who was working on my let me knowd he that that was somebody who had gone through a family tragedy, that joe somehow knew about and thought it was important for me to know about that. I thought that over time i realized that was just basic to who he is. Senator warren . i think the day i saw joe the clearance was on the anniversary of the marathon bombing. Everyone was honored to have the Vice President here, but he shifted at some point in that speech to the parent who had lost a child, to the man who had lost a wife, to someone who had experienced loss very personally. He spoke to each of the families from the heart. Booker what gets you excited about this idea of the inclusion of big ideas from all over the party into the future . The magic of joe biden comes with everything that is reasonable. Everyone will follow his lead. That is how we will rebuild the country. So optimistic about our country despite the dark days for a lot of our fellow americans in large part because of what and people are doing right now. After the murder of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor and ledrge floyd, young people these protests in the best traditions of the country, the traditions of john lewis. I faith in this country is reflected in those young people and the way that joe and kamal are listening to them and incorporating their ideas in the administration they will lead. People who say they will not vote, they are saying that from a privilege that a lot of folks do not have. Maybe this is not a life or death issue for you, but we are all in this together. Sanders i would say this is clear the clearly the most important election in modern history. In joe biden you have a human decent,o is honest and and at this moment in american history, i god, that is something this country needs. All of us, whether you are progressive or moderate or conservative, have got to come together to defeat this president. Joining us forr this segment. It was an honor to run against you and itd it is even a greater honor to support joe biden and Kamala Harris
