Would they make the case of the American People to joe . They took a big step. They did take a big step. Because we no longer have to say presumptive, and you dont have to humanize joe biden, right . He is probably one of the most emp th empathetic people we have seen, and more empthetic than trump. And we have seen not one but two thunderstormer president s taking the case, bill clinton built on Michelle Obamas searing indictment of the trump presidency. It is what it is. That is what she says about this president. Smart on their part. A lot of this is strategy, how to use the current s words. How to use the past, how you use joe, and to me, democrats havent been pushing this idea of new. Theyre pushing the idea of true. What is sfleal whreal . What is deep . What actually matters . They are hanging it on the person of joe biden. Being positive about him, every bit as much without being negative to President Trump. Beating up on trump isnt enough, it wasnt enough last time. They are m
The nomination of his party. This was also the second virtual session for the democrats. It featured a roll call unlike any other weve ever seen. The advantage of it was we got to see our whole country state by state, territory by territory. This convention, of course, is happening as our country is still in the grip of the coronavirus, the pandemic that has thus far infected nearly 5. 5 million americans that we are aware of. It has taken over 172,000 lives. Tonight the democrats tried to draw a contrast with the incumbent president with a vision of joe biden, his presidency as one of moral leadership, committed to upholding the ideals and the security of the nation. Faced with a president of cowardice, joe biden is a man of proven courage. I was fired for refusing to defend president trumps shameful and unlawful muslim travel ban. We need a president with dignity, integrity, and the experience to lead us out of this crisis. I helped choose him to be Barack Obamas running mate in 2008

Night two of the Democratic National convention is now history. History was made as well tonight. Joe biden has officially secured the nomination of his party. This was also the second virtual session for the democrats. It featured a roll call unlike any other weve ever seen.

My fellow americans, this is my country. Many of us have fought hard for the right to say that. Many are now struggling today, so let me say this with conviction. This is our country. We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We must make the American People hear our tail of two cities. We must convince them we dont have to settle for two cities. We can have one city, indivisible shining for all of its people. If you give us a chance, we can perform. After all Ginger Rogers did everything that fred astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels. There is not a liberal america and a conservative america. There is the United States of america. There is not a black america and a White America and Latino America ah, and asianamerican. Theres the United States of america. The American Dream is not a sprint or even a marathon but a relay. Our families dont always cross the finish line in the span of one generation, but each generation
