Coronavirus plan. It is time for us to hear the voice of a leader. A leader who will lead us through bigotry. A leader who knows how to build. Ridges and do not walls this individual leader needs to be one that comes from more of a biblical motif. He needs to be a servant. Servant is one that serves others more than they do themselves. He has proven to be a servant because he has served next to the first africanamerican president of the United States, barack obama for two terms. [applause] servant because he has served, not only to the the United States of america, but he has served in the senate, being a senator. His years of serving have been over 40 years in public office. Servant,will it take a but it will take someone who feels what we feel. He has suffered the tragedy of. Eath in his own life heife, a son, and therefore can sympathize with other sufferers. Own country, thousands, millions of people have been infected with coronavirus. I know he feels that because he is a sufferer. I know he feels the death of over 250 thousand individuals have died in the United States of america and because he has experienced death himself, he can relate to the death of many lives that we have experienced. Not only must he be a servant, not only must he be a sufferer, but he also must to be a sustainer, somebody that is able who hasack on track fallen off of the track. I want you to know that i know 2008,ll of us remember when they gave over this country to president obama and to Vice President biden. What i would call a sinking titanic. Economically, we were in the waters of recession, some said close to a depression, but somehow someway, they got the holes,lugged up pulled this sinking titanic out of the water and guided us back since shores we have had they have been in. Sustainability. I say to all of us, if we are going to get back to what we used to be, it is going to take a servant, it is going to take someone who is a sufferer and a sustainer and i do believe in the person of Vice President pottery, his partner, sister harris, we will be able to get back to where we came from and did not go back to where we used to be. I introduce to you the Vice President , the candidate for the democratic party, Vice President biden. Hello, hello, hello [applause] hello, philadelphia it is great to see everyone.

Enjoyedhe things i most about being back on the campaign trail was meeting with the black faith leaders all around the country, the churches i get to go to during the primaries and over 400 black Church Leaders supporting us. Every sunday i would get to sit supported. And get i would go to church early in the morning i talk to people here about what is on their minds, pray with them. It was renewing. It was not about me, but our entire family. With mey grandkids is here who is a senior at philadelphia college. This campaign has been unlike any campaign in history. There is one thing that remains the same we have to earn our democracy. We have to get out and vote. As my late friend john lewis reminded us, freedom is not a state. It is an act. Have to defend it. We have to vote and to this is the most important election of our lifetimes. We have to vote like we never did before. Every day is a reminder of how high the stakes are, of how far the other side will go to suppress the turnout, especially here in philadelphia. President trump is terrified of what will happen in pennsylvania. He knows if you have your say, he will not stand a chance. But the American People will not 90 million over people have already voted. They have had enough. On the line toch sit it out. We only have two more days we can put an end to this presidency that has from the very beginning sought to tear us apart, to divide us. Can put anwo days we end to protect this nation. In two days we can put an end to a presidency that has poured gasoline on every opportunity he has all across this nation. Aliens of americans have already voted. More will vote in the two days millions of americans have already voted. More will vote in the two days ahead. Andessage is simple sylvania is critical in this election pennsylvania is critical in this election. I live in delaware, but i am a pennsylvania boy, born in scranton. Last time donald trump one, he this state i 44,000 votes votes. 00 the power to change this country is in your hands. There is nothing donald trump is going to do to stop this nation from voting matter what he tries. Folks, when americans vote, america will be heard. When america is heard, i believe the message will be loud and clear it is time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home. Breathe some life back into this nation. We are done. We are tired of the tweets, the anger, the hate, the irresponsibility. We have a lot of work to do. If i am elected president , we will start from the very first day. We will act. We are gonna acted to get covid under control. It is almost criminal the way he has handled it. On day one of my presidency, i will put in action a plan i have pland about for months, a for free distribution of therapeutics, vaccines when we theone, plan to address disproportionate way this virus has been hitting and devastating the black Community Across america. [applause] folks, every single day we are seeing race based disparities in every aspect of this virus. Higher testing rates, lower access to testing, harder time , lowerining safely access to highquality treatment when you become infected and it higher mortality rates. African are dying as white americans when they get the virus. In 100 black americans excuse me, one in one thousand black americans have died from covid19 and if we do not change between now and in january, it thestimated one in 500 by end of this pandemic. Mass casualty a event in the black community and it is unnecessary, totally uncalled for. Wouldlic health plan ensure the communities being had the hardest by this virus are a. Riority, not an afterthought we have a plan to build back better, to make sure everyone is built in on a fullscale share of the american dream. We are going to address systemic racism and build real economic opportunity. The blinders have been taken off. The American People have seen how bad things are. Buy at easier to business, to pursue an education after high school, to invest in hbcus, which do so much to mold black leaders of tomorrow, this is not just talk, i mean it. We will acted to deliver Racial Justice in america. I see in all the protests here in philadelphia and across the country, a cry for justice. Protesting is not burning or looting and violence must never be tolerated, but the names of george floyd, jacob blake, breonna taylor, Walter Wallace junior will not soon be forgotten. They will not be forgotten by me. They will not be forgotten by you and they will not be forgotten by the American People because heres what they are going to do they are inspiring and new wave of justice in america. George floyds little girl said to me i knelt down to say hi to her and she said daddy is going to change the world. That is what she said to me, six years old. We can change the world, we can change it. We all know this country has to come together. We cannot afford for more years of anger, hate and division we have seen under this president. From the day he announced, from the moment he came down that escalator, what did he say in new york . Go out and geto those rapist mexicans. He played ban on all muslims coming into the United States placed a ban on all muslims coming into the United States. We have got to come together. I am running as a proud democrat, but i will govern as an american president for everybody. I will work as hard for those who do not support me as those who do support me. Im unit. That is the job of a president i mean it. That is the job of a president. The duty to care for everyone. There will not be any red states are blue states. Just the United States of america. In our country is being tested, but our faith in god is helping us through because of all of you. Thank you for your commitment to the greatest commandment love our neighbors as ourselves and for our dedication to never grow weary of doing good. Being with you all reminds me of that gospel hymn that inspired so many of us. When i last talked it to john lewis when he was dying, he reminded me of it i do not feel no ways tired. I have come too far from where i started from. Nobody told me the road would be easy. I do not believe he brought me this far to leave me. We are not tired. Butroad has not been easy, we have come too far to stop now , so please vote, get everyone you know to vote. We need to get every soul in philadelphia to the polls. Your vote matters. Your voice deserves to be heard. If you still have an absentee ballot, get it to a drop box as as soon as you can or you can vote on election day, but make a plan now. Help get out the vote. Lvote. Com pa. I have been doing this a while. One of the reasons i got elected theelaware was because of people in pennsylvania. All of the media in pennsylvania philadelphiawas television. I was very happy to have the moniker of being known as pennsylvanias third senator. I married a philly girl. By the way, i got my eagles jacket on. [applause] folks, here is what i want to say and i will conclude. You have been here a long time. I will never forget what president john f. Kennedy said when he promised we are going to go to the moon. He said words and my colleagues in the senate always used to kid me for repeating he said we are doing it because we are americans. Postpone we refused to. I refuse to postpone the opportunities available to the American People. Theres nothing beyond the capacity of the United States of america. There is no limit to americas future. The only thing that can tear america apart is america itself and that is exactly what trump has been trying to do from the very beginning, dividing america based on race, religion, gender, national origin. It is wrong. It is not who we are. Everyone knows who donald trump is. Lets keep showing him who we are. And i mean this, it is not Just Campaign rhetoric, we choose hope over fear. We choose unity over division. Andse science over fiction overlies,oose truth the multiple lies he repeats. It is time to stand up. It is time to take back our democracy. We are better than this. At our best. This is the United States of america. God bless you all and may god protect our troops. I love you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. God love you all.
