Doing here . I am a lifelong republican. About republicans and democrats. Its about the person, a person decent enough, stable enough, Strong Enough to get our economy back on track, a person who will work with everyone, democrats and republicans to get things done. Donald trump isnt that person. Joe biden is. Whitman i am meg whitman. Donald trump has no clue how to run a business, let alone an economy. Joe biden has a plan to strengthen our economy for workingclass voters. Im with joe. Susan im a farmer republican member of comair former republican member of congress from new york city and i have known donald trump for most of my career, so disappointing and disturbing. I have gotten to work with joe biden on issues regarding women. That is why i am so proud to call him my friend and support his candidacy for president. He is a really good man and exactly what this nation needs. Now, i am delighted and honored to introduce a former colleague of mine, the former congressman of ohio, the former governor of ohio, john kasich. Mr. Kasich america is at a crossroads. The choices we make as a nation about which path we want to take when we come to challenging times. America is at that crossroads. The stakes are greater than at any other modern times. Many have been deeply concerned about the current path we have been following, a path that has led to division, dysfunction, irresponsibility, and growing vitriol among our citizens. Continuing to follow that path will have terrible consequences for americas soul, because we are being taken by the wrong road by a president who has pitted one against another. He is unlike all of our best leaders before him who worked together to unite us and lead to a united america. I am a lifelong republican, but that holds second place to my responsibility to my country. That is why i have chosen to appear at this convention. In normal times, Something Like this would probably never happen, but these are not normal times. I am proud of my republican heritage, the party of lincoln, who reflected its founding principles of unity and a higher purpose, but what i have witnessed these past four years belies those principles. Many of us cannot imagine four more years going down this path, to that is why my asking you choose a better way forward. The best of america lies ahead, but only when we rediscovered our shared belief in the United States of america, for our childrens future which can be bright, hopeful, and inspired if we choose to make it so. I have known joe biden 30 years. I know his story and profound grief that has so deeply affected his character. I know joe is a good man, a man of faith, unifier, someone who understands the hopes and dreams of the common man and common woman, a man who can help us to see the humanity in each other. A restorede path to and rejuvenated america lies in respect and unity and a common purpose for everyone. Where joe are areas and i absolutely disagree, but that is ok because that is america, because whatever our differences, we respect one another as human beings, each of us searching for justice and purpose. We can all see what is going on in our country today, and all the questions that are facing us, and no one person or party has all the answers. What we do know is we can do better, and what we have been today for sure, and i know that joe biden with his experience and wisdom and decency can bring us together to help us find that better way. I am sure there are republicans could notndents who imagine crossing over to support a democrat. They fear joe could turn sharp left and leave them behind. I dont believe that. The measure of the man is reasonable, faithful, respectful, and no one pushes joe around. Joe biden is a man for our times that calls for all of us to take off our partisan hats and put our nation first were ourselves and our children. When america chooses the right path and pulls together like we have done so many times before, we can dream big dreams and we can see the top of the mountain as a United States of america, with a soul that is a beacon of freedom to the entire world. Mr. Sanders good evening. Our great nation is now living in an unprecedented moment. We are facing the worst Public Health crisis in 100 years and the worst economic collapse since the great depression. We are confronting systemic racism and the enormous threat of climate change, and in the midst of all of this, we have a president who is not only incapable of addressing these crises, but is leading us down the path of authoritarianism
