OUR FRIENDS AND 
STAND UP TO OUR 
ADVERSARIES. 
>> I KNOW THAT 
IF WE ENTRUST 
THIS NATION TO 
JOE, HE WILL DO 
FOR YOUR 
FAMILIES WHAT HE 
DID FOR OURS. 
BRING US 
TOGETHER AND 
MAKE US WHOLE. 
>> GOOD EVENING. 
WELCOME TO NBC 
NEWS' SPECIAL 
COVERAGE OF THE 
2020 DEMOCRATIC 
NATIONAL 
CONVENTION ON IC 
NBC NEWS NOW. 
THOSE WERE THE 
HIGHLIGHTS FROM 
LAST EVENING. 
WE ARE LESS THAN 
AN HOUR FROM THE 
START OF A HUGE 
NIGHT AND A 
HISTORIC ONE. 
REGARDLESS OF 
YOUR POLITICS, 
THESE ARE THE 
MOMENTS THAT ARE 
ETCHED IN THE 
HISTORY BOOKS. 
IN A FEW HOURS 
KAMALA HARRIS 
WILL ACCEPT THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY'S 
NOMINATION TO BE 
THE VICE %
PRESIDENT OF THE 
UNITED STATES. 
A COUNTRY NEVER 
ELECTED A BLACK 
WOMAN PRESIDENT 
OR VICE 
PRESIDENT, NEVER 
ELECTED A BLACK 
WOMAN AS 
GOVERNOR EITHER. 
SHE IS THE 
SECOND BLACK 
WOMAN TO BE 
ELECTED TO THE 
U.S. SENATE. 
TONIGHT SHE 
BECOMES 
A VICE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
NOMINEE. 
SHE WILL TALK EN
ABOUT HER 
UPBRINGING, JOE 
BIDEN AND, OF 
COURSE, DONALD 
TRUMP. 
AND THE OTHER 
SPEAKER TONIGHT, 
WE WILL HEAR 
FROM PRESIDENT 
OBAMA WHO WILL 
DELIVER MARKS 
THAT WILL BE 
HIGHLY CRITICAL 
OF PRESIDENT 
TRUMP. 
TYING HIM TO UM
$170,000 COVID 
DEATH IN THIS 
COUNTRY AND 
PORTRAYING HIM 
AS INCAPABLE OF 
FULFILLING THE 
BASIC FUNCTIONS 
OF HIGH OFFICE. 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
WILL SPEAK LIVE 
FROM THE MUSEUM 
OF THE AMERICAN 
REVOLUTION IN 
PHILADELPHIA. 
A LOCATION THAT 
DEMOCRATS SAY IS 
INTENDED TO  
UNDERSCORE 
AMERICA'S 
DEMOCRACY IS ON 
THE LINE ITSELF. 
TONIGHT WE WILL 
HEAR FROM HOUSE 
SPEAKER NANCY 
PELOSI, AND THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY'S LAST 
PRESIDENTIAL LA
NOMINEE HILLARY 
CLINTON, AS WELL 
AS ELIZABETH 
WARREN. 
SO AS WE GEAR UP 
FOR TONIGHT'S 
CONVENTION, THE 
SPOT SLIGHT ON 
KAMALA HARRIS. 
THIS IS HER 
NIGHT. 
BUT THE MOST 
MEMORABLE 
MOMENTS COULD 
COME FROM 
PRESIDENT OBAMA, 
BECAUSE IN MANY 
WAYS THEY COULD 
GET  UNDER THE 
SKIN OF 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
JOINING ME NOW 
ARE MY P.NBC NEWS 
COLLEAGUES. 
MIKE, LET ME 
START WITH YOU 
IN A PREVIEW OF 
WHAT WE EXPECT 
TO HEAR FROM 
KAMALA HARRIS. 
>> Reporter: 
WITH ANY 
ACCEPTANCE 
SPEECH, ONE IS 
TO INTRODUCE THE 
CANDIDATE TO THE 
COUNTRY AND 
SECOND IS TO 
PRODUCE THE CASE 
AGAINST THE 
CHALLENGER. 
FOR KAMALA 
HARRIS, WE SAW 
HER DO THAT IN 
THE HEARINGS ON 
CAPITOL HILL. 
AND SHE WILL DO 
THAT TONIGHT. 
SHE WILL TALK 
ABOUT DONALD 
TRUMP USING 
TRAGEDIES AS 
POLITICAL 
WEAPONS WHERE 
JOE BIDEN WOULD 
TURN IT INTO 
PURPOSE. 
I THINK YOU 
KNOW, SHE WILL 
BE INTRODUCING 
HERSELF AS THE 
CHILDREN OF 
IMMIGRANTS, 
INCLUSION IS THE 
WORDS THEY ARE 
USING TONIGHT. 
THEY WANT TO 
HIGHLIGHT THE 
DIVERSITY OF THE 
DEMOCRATIC PARTY 
AND THE COUNTRY 
AND MAKE THE 
COUNTRY THAT 
DIVERSITY GIVES 
THIS COUNTRY 
STRENGTH AND GISHE 
AS MUCH AS 
ANYBODY CAN 
REPRESENT THAT 
JUST HERSELF. 
>> IT SEEMS AS 
IF THEY BELIEVE 
KAMALA HARRIS IS 
A SWISS ARMY 
KNIFE, SHE COULD 
BE TALKING TO 
VOTERS IN 
FLORIDA, 
ARIZONA, 
SUBURBAN WOMEN 
IN GRAN RAPIDS 
THAT THERE --  %
THEY HOPE HER 
STORY CONNECTS 
IN THAT WAY. 
ISN'T JUST ABOUT 
A BLACK WOMAN, 
AN INDIAN 
AMERICAN, THAT 
OTHER GROUPS 
IDENTIFY WITH 
HER EXPERIENCE. 
SEEMS LIKE THAT 
IS WHAT THEY ARE 
HOPING HERE. 
>> Reporter: I or
LOVE THAT TERM 
BECAUSE THIS 
DEMOCRATIC 
CONVENTION FOR 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN IS 
ABOUT REALLY 
JUST SHORING UP 
THE TWO PILLARS 
OF THE BIDEN 
COALITION. 
INCLUDING 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
VOTERS WHICH PUT 
HIM %
INTO THIS 
POSITION, BUT IT 
ALSO INCLUDES 
SUBURBAN 
MODERATES. 
THAT'S WHY WE 
HAVE SEEN  RBSO 
MUCH FOCUS ON 
REPUBLICANS AND 
FORMER 
REPUBLICANS 
MAKING THOSE 
APPEALS BUT 
KAMALA HARRIS 
THEY BELIEVE CAN 
DO BOTH. 
AS A WOMAN OF 
COLOR SHE WILL 
ENERGIZE AND 
ALREADY HAS 
ENERGIZED THE 
DEMOCRATIC PARTY 
BEHIND JOE BIDEN 
AND THEY THINK 
HER PERSONAL 
STORY AND THHER 
CONNECTION TO NN
VOTERS CAN SELL 
IN THE SWING 
DISTRICTS THAT 
HELPED PUT 
DEMOCRATS IN 
CHARGE OF THE 
HOUSE. 
>> IF KAMALA 
HARRIS' SPEECH 
LIVES LONG IN 
HISTORY, AND I 
THINK IT WILL, 
WHAT COULD BE A 
BIGGER IMPACT 
SHORT TERM IS 
PRESIDENT 
OBAMA'S SPEECH 
TONIGHT. 
HE WILL DIRECTLY 
NAME CHECK 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
IN WAYS WE HAVE 
NEVER SEEN HIM 
DO BEFORE. 
WE KNOW HOW THIS 
WILL GET UNDER 
THE PRESIDENT'S 
SKIN. 
THIS IS ONE OF 
THOSE SPEECHES, 
DONALD TRUMP 
WILL MAKE IT 
RESONATE. 
TELL US A LITTLE 
BIT %ABOUT THIS 
SPEECH. 
>> Reporter: I 
WOULDN'T BE 
SURPRISED IF WE 
GOT SWIFT 
REACTION FROM 
DONALD TRUMP ON 
TWITTER. 
THIS IS GOING TO 
BE PRESIDENT 
OBAMA'S MOST 
FORCEFUL 
INDICTMENT YET 
OF PRESIDENT UL
TRUMP. 
HE WILL COMPARE 
THE WHITE ENHOUSE 
TO A REALITY 
SHOW AND HE WILL 
TRY TO MAKE THE 
CASE OUR 
DEMOCRACY IS AT 
STAKE 
AS HE 
SPEAKS FROM 
PHILADELPHIA AND 
IT IS A CRITICAL 
SPEECH BECAUSE 
IF YOU THINK 
ABOUT WHAT 
FORMER PRESIDENT 
BILL CLINTON DID 
FOR PRESIDENT 
OBAMA IN 2012, 
HE WAS CALLED 
THE EXPLAINER IN 
CHIEF, IN SOME 
WAYS PRESIDENT 
OBAMA IS TAKING 
ON A SIMILAR 
MANTLE. 
HE WILL BE THE 
ONE WHO BEARS 
WITNESS TO NOT 
ONLY WHAT IT 
TAKES TO SERVE 
AS PRESIDENT BUT 
WHAT IT TAKES TO 
LEAD A COUNTRY 
IN CRISIS AND HE 
WILL MAKE THE 
CASE FOR JOE 
BIDEN, KAMALA 
HARRIS, HE WILL 
TALK ABOUT HIS 
FIRSTHAND 
EXPERIENCE OF 
WORKING WITH JOE 
BIDEN TO HELP 
REVIVE AN 
ECONOMY IN 
RECESSION, HELP 
GET HEALTH CARE 
PASSED. 
ONE OF THE 
CRITICAL MOMENTS 
OF THE OBAMA 
WHITE HOUSE AND 
HE WILL DO WHAT 
HIS WIFE DID, HE 
IS GOING TO URGE 
PEOPLE TO GET 
OUT AND VOTE. 
PARTICULARLY 
AGAINST THE VOBACK 
DROP OF 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
RAISING ALL 
SORTS OF 
QUESTIONS ABOUT 
THE LEGITIMACY 
OF THIS 
ELECTION. 
HE SEES THAT AS 
VITAL TO THIS
DEMOCRACY. 
IT WILL BE ONE Y.
OF THE MOST 
IMPORTANT FOR 
FORMER PRESIDENT 
OBAMA THAT WE 
HAVE SEEN. 
>> I AM GLAD YOU 
BROUGHT UP THE 
BILL CLINTON 
2012 SPEECH. 
THE BILL CLINTON 
OF THEN WAS VERY 
POTENT. 
AND I WOULD 
ARGUE THE PEAK 
OF PRESIDENT 
OBAMA'S POWERS 
ARE PROBABLY 
RIGHT NOW. 
AND IT OBIS A BIG 
-- COULD BE A 
BIG, BIG DEAL. 
GETTING US 
STARTED FROM 
DELAWARE, THANK 
YOU, BOTH.
I WANT TO START 
WITH YOU, ON 
KAMALA HARRIS, 
AND TELL ONME WHAT 
THIS MEANS TO 
YOU. 
>> Reporter: WE  
ALL SAID IT IS A 
HISTORIC MOMENT 
BUT FOR ME I 
FEEL THE 
SWELLING WITH 
KAMALA HARRIS 
TONIGHT, 
SPEAKING LAON 
STAGE AS A BLACK 
WOMAN, YOU KNOW, 
KNOWING THAT WE 
ARE IN THE 
CENTENNIAL YEAR 
OF A WOMAN'S 
RIGHT TO VOTE 
AND KNOWING HOW 
FAR BLACK WOMEN 
HAVE COME AND TO 
HAVE HER ON 
CENTER STAGE 
TONIGHT IT IS 
ALMOST 
OVERWHELMING AND 
I HEARD THAT 
FROM FRIENDS AND 
FAMILY WHO ARE 
FEELING THE SAME 
SENSE OF BOTH 
PRIDE, BUT ALSO 
ELATION AT THIS 
PROSPECT AND 
JUST CAN'T WAIT 
TO VOTE COME 
NOVEMBER 3. 
>> MBYOU KNOW, 
THESE MOMENTS, 
YOU KNOW, SHE IS 
GOING TO BE SO 
MUCH BIGGER 
AFTER TONIGHT OF 
A HOUSEHOLD 
NAME, I DON'T 
KNOW HOW YOU 
PREPARE SOMEBODY 
FOR THAT. 
YOU KNOW, WE 
KNOW AFTER 
TONIGHT 
EVERYTHING 
CHANGES. 
>> Reporter: 
WELL, IT REALLY NIH%
DOES. 
AND YOU KNOW, 
THE INTERESTING 
THING, PEOPLE 
HAVE BEEN 
STRUGGLING WITH 
WAYS TO 
PRONOUNCE HER 
NAME, EVERYONE 
WILL KNOW 
TONIGHT GOING 
FORWARD THAT HER 
NAME IS KAMALA 
HARRIS AND THEY 
WILL KNOW HER 
STORY AND THEY 
WILL BE ABLE TO 
REPEAT HER STORY 
AND THEY WILL 
FEEL IN THEIR 
LIFE EXPERIENCES 
THEY LIVED HER 
STORY AS WELL 
AND  SO I THINK 
IT IS AN 
IMPORTANT AND 
TONIGHT IS A 
BLOCKBUSTER OF 
DEMOCRATS ON 
STAGE TONIGHT 
LEADING UP TO 
HAVING KAMALA 
HARRIS  TAKE 
CENTER
STAGE. 
WANT TO 
TURN TO FORMER 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
TODAY, I WANT TO 
PLAY FROM THE 
JOHN LEWIS 
FUNERAL, THAT 
DAY, THAT 
MORNING, DONALD 
TRUMP FLOATED 
THE IDEA HE 
WOULD DELAY  THE 
ELECTION, AND 
WHETHER THAT 
INSPIRED A 
RESPONSE OR NOT, 
WE WILL NEVER 
KNOW BUT I THINK 
THAT CONTEXT 
MATTERS WHEN WE 
HEAR FROM  
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
FROM THREE WEEKS 
AGO. 
>> TODAY KSWE 
WITNESS WITH OUR 
OWN EYES POLICE 
OFFICERS 
KNEELING ON THE 
NECKS OF BLACK 
AMERICANS. 
GEORGE WALLACE 
MAY BE GONE, BUT 
WE CAN WITNESS 
OUR FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENTS 
SENDING AGENTS 
BUT AS WE SIT 
HERE, THERE ARE 
THOSE IN POWER 
WHO ARE DOING 
THEIR DARNEDEST 
TO DISCOURAGE 
PEOPLE FROM 
VOTING, BY 
CLOSING POLLING 
LOCATIONS AND 
PARDONING 
PINORTS AND 
STUDENTS WITH 
RESTRICTED LAWS 
AND RESTRICTING 
OUR VOTING 
RIGHTS, UNDER 
MINING THE 
POSTAL SERVICE 
IN THE RUN UP TO 
AN ELECTION THAT 
WILL BE 
DEPENDENT ON 
MAIL-IN BALLOTS 
SO PEOPLE DON'T 
GET SICK. 
>> WE ARE NOT 
GOING TO SEE AN 
APPLAUSE, I 
DON'T THINK, FOR 
TONIGHT BECAUSE 
OF SOCIAL 
DISTANCING 
ISSUES, SOI FEEL 
LIKE WE WILL 
HEAR PORTIONS OR 
AT LEAST 
THOUGHTS LIKE 
THAT TONIGHT. 
>> Reporter: 
YEAH. 
I WAS STRUCK 
LOOKING AT THAT 
AND THINKING 
WHEN HE TOUCHED 
ON THEMES THAT 
RESINATED IN A 
SIMILAR WAY WHEN 
HE SANG AMAZING 
GRACE, IS 
ANOTHER INSTANCE 
OF WHEN WE HAVE 
SEEN PRESIDENT 
OBAMA SPEAKING 
IN A NTCHURCH 
ABOUT POLITICS 
AND THE FACT 
THEY ARE TIED 
TOGETHER FOR HIM 
FOR THAT 
COMMUNITY AND 
WHAT THAT MEANS, 
I THINK YOU ARE 
RIGHT, THAT HE 
MAY BE AT THE 
HEIGHT OF HIS 
POST PRESIDENCY 
IN TERMS OF 
SPEAKING TO THE 
AUDIENCE THAT 
GOT OUT TO VOTE 
FOR HIM. 
I REMEMBER GOING 
TO HIS RALLIES 
AND THE CHEERS 
AND THAT LEFT 
THAT STADIUM 
WHERE HE WAS 
SPEAKING, YOU 
KNOW, A LOT OF 
THOSE PEOPLE 
DIDN'T GO TO THE 
POLLS IN 2016 
AND I THINK THAT 
IS WHY THEY SEE 
KAMALA HARRIS AS 
BEING SO 
IMPORTANT HERE. 
I THINK THE 
CHALLENGE IS THE 
FORUM IS A LOT 
DIFFERENT, NOT 
TO SAY PRESIDENT 
OBAMA DOESN'T 
BRING STRENGTHS 
AS A POLITICIAN 
TO A FORMAT THAT 
IS NOT A CROWD, 
BUT I THINK WE 
CAN'T -- THERE 
IS NO WORLD IN 
WHICH HE DOES 
NOT GO AFTER 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
>> WE KNOW R HE IS 
USING HIS NAME, 
WHICH NORMALLY 
WE HAVEN'T HIM 
DO A LOT. 
HE NEVER USED 
THE PRESIDENT'S 
NAME IN THOSE 
REMARKS AT JOHN 
LEWIS' MEMORIAL 
SERVICE. 
DO YOU THINK THE 
BILL CLINTON 
2012 COMPARISON 
IS AN APT ONE 
HERE? 
>> Reporter: I 
DO. 
NOT MUCH THAT 
COULD POINT YOU 
IN PRECEDENCE 
HERE. 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
HAS, IN HIS POST 
PRESIDENCY, 
HESITATED TO 
INVOLVE HIMSELF 
IN TAKING ON 
TRUMP UNLESS HE 
FELT DEMOCRACY 
WAS AT STAKE. 
LOOK AROUND US. 
WE ARE IN THE 
MIDDLE OF A 
PANDEMIC, AN 
ECONOMIC MELT 
DOWN AND HE -- 
YOU SAW MICHELLE 
OBAMA SPEAK 
FRANKLY ABOUT -- 
SHE TOLD US THIS 
IS A LOT I WANT 
YOU TO TAKE 
AWAY, LISTEN TO 
ME, IT CAN GET 
WORSE AND I WILL 
AND I THINK YOU 
WILL SEE THE 
SAME RAISING OF 
THE STAKES FROM 
HIM. 
IN 2016, BOTH 
WERE A LITTLE 
LOW TO ENGAGE 
HIM DIRECTLY. I 
WAS SURPRISED 
THAT JOHN LEWIS 
FUNERAL, HE HAD 
AN AGENDA. 
HE HAD A FIVE-
POINT AGENDA ON 
WHAT HE WANTED 
AMERICANS TO DO 
TO MAKE SURE 
IS IR VOTE 
GOING TO BE 
COUNTED AND I 
THINK THIS IS 
WHAT YOU WILL 
SEE FROM BOTH OF 
THEM FROM NOW 
UNTIL NOVEMBER. 
>> I THINK JOHN 
LEWIS WOULD HAVE 
CALLED WHAT 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
DID GOOD 
TROUBLE. 
WHAT -- HOW -- 
HOW -- HOW 
STRONG OF A CASE 
DO YOU HOPE 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
MAKES AGAINST 
PRESIDENT TRUMP? 
>> Reporter: I 
HOPE HE  MAKES A 
COMPELLING ONE 
THAT IS VERY 
DIRECT. 
ONE OF THE 
THINGS  WE COME 
TO LEARN ABOUT 
BOTH OBAMAS IN 
THE POST 
PRESIDENCY IS 
THAT THEY ARE 
VERY PLAIN 
SPOKEN WHEN IT 
COMES TO TALKING 
ABOUT ISSUES OF 
CONCERN, AND 
SPEAKING THEIR 
MIND. 
I THINK WE SAW 
THAT FROM 
MICHELLE OBAMA 
ON MONDAY. 
SHE DIDN'T WANT 
TO LEAVE ANY 
POSSIBILITY THAT 
HER WORDS COULD 
BE 
MISINTERPRETED 
AND  SHE WAS VERY 
DIRECT. 
I THINK WE CAN 
EXPECT THE SAME 
THING FROM 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
TONIGHT AND ALSO  
TO RECOGNIZE THE 
MOMENT THAT WE 
ARE IN, I THINK 
HE WILL OFFER A 
SOBERING 
ASSESSMENT OF 
THIS PRESIDENCY 
AND HE WILL LET 
US KNOW WHAT 
COULD HAPPEN IF 
WE DON'T DO THE 
RIGHT THING AND 
VOTE THIS GUY 
OUT OF OFFICE. 
>> HE IS THE 
SECOND MOST 
POPULAR PERSON 
IN THIS COUNTRY 
IF YOU COUNT 
MICHELLE OBAMA 
AS A POLITICIAN. 
ANYWAY. 
STICK AROUND K 
WITH US. 
UP AHEAD, I WILL 
CLOCK WITH 
CONGRESSMAN JIM 
CLIBURN. 
HE WILL JOIN MAME 
AND HOW 
MUCH DOES THE E 
RUNNING MATE 
MATTER TO THE 
TICKET? 
THAT IS NEXT. 
FIRST, WE WILL 
TAKE A LOOK BACK 
AT MEMORABLE 
CONVENTION 
MOMENTS AND ON 
THIS NIGHT NONE 
SEEM MORE 
APPROPRIATE FROM 
THIS MOMENT IN 
1984. 
THE FIRST WOMAN 
TO ACCEPT ANY 
MAJOR PARTY'S 
NOMINATION FOR 
VICE PRESIDENT. 
>> BY CHOOSING A 
WOMAN TO RUN FOR 
OUR NATION'S 
SECOND HIGHEST 
OFFICE, YOU 
STAND A POWERFUL 
SIGNAL TO ALL 
AMERICANS. 
THERE ARE NO 
DOORS WE CANNOT 
UNLOCK. 
WE WILL PLACE NO 
LIMIT ON 
ACHIEVEMENTS. 
IF WE CAN DO 
THIS, WE CAN DO 
ANYTHING.

>>> WELCOME BACK 
TO NBC NEWS NOW, 
NIGHT THREE OF 
THE DEMOCRATIC 
NATIONAL 
CONVENTION. 
TONIGHT IS A 
HUGE NIGHT, 
KAMALA HARRIS' 
BIG NIGHT. 
THE FIRST WOMAN 
OF COLOR TO 
ACCEPT A MAJOR 
PARTY'S
ACCEPTANCE FOR 
VICE PRESIDENT. 
WILL 2020 
CHANGE? 
JOINING ME NOW, 
A PAST RUNNING 
MATE, OUR NBC 
NEWS NATIONAL 
POLITICAL 
CORRESPONDENT. 
WALK US THROUGH 
THIS. 
>> Reporter: 
LET'S LOOK AT 
THIS. 
FIRST, THE MOST 
DIRECT LITERAL 
WAY A RUNNING 
MATE CAN HELP 
THE TICKET. 
DOES THE TICKET 
CARRY THE 
RUNNING MATE'S 
STATE? 
REMEMBER THESE 
TWO? 
1960. 
OF COURSE, WITH 
LBJ, JOHN F. 
KENNEDY CARRIED 
TEXAS. 
AND TEXAS AND 
ILLINOIS, THAT 
WAS ENOUGH TO 
MAKE JFK 
PRESIDENT. 
THAT WAS 60 
YEARS AGO. 
SINCE THEN, CAN 
WE FIND ANOTHER 
EXAMPLE OF THAT? 
CARTER. 
1980. 
THE TICKET WINS 
MINNESOTA. 
MINNESOTA STICKS 
OUT THERE. 
YOU CAN SEE. 
THAT IS THE LAST 
EXAMPLE WE COULD 
FIND OF THAT. 
THE OTHER 
QUESTION, THE 
MORE BROAD -- 
DOES THE VICE 
PRESIDENT 
ENHANCE THE 
PUBLIC'S IMAGE 
OF THE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
CANDIDATE, MAKE 
THE TICKET MORE 
APPEALING. 
THESE ARE -- 
1988 HERE, THIS 
IS A COMBINATION 
OF A COUPLE 
POLLS. 
THE QUESTION WAS 
ASK WHEN THE 
RUNNING MATE WAS 
PICKED, DOES 
THIS MAKE YOU 
MORE OR LESS 
LIKELY TO VOTE 
FOR THE TICKET. 
YOU CAN SEE THE 
TOP ONE, WAS 
ALGOR BY BILL 
CLINTON. 
25% MORE LIKELY 
WHEN THE TICKET 
CAME IN. 
>> WHAT IS 
AMAZING, THIS IS 
NUMBER TWO. 
I WOULD HAVE 
GUESSED GORE WAS 
THE MOST 
HELPFUL. 
I AM SHOCKED IT 
IS JACK KEMP. 
LOOK AT YOUR 
LIST. 
ONLY ONE OF THE 
FIRST SIX WON. 
>> Reporter: 
YEAH. 
YOU GET TO THE 
END OF THIS, THE 
VERY END HERE, I 
WAS -- LOOK AT 
THIS. 
DAN QUAIL, 21% 
HAD A NEGATIVE 
VIEW BUT THEY 
VOTED FOR BUSH 
ANYWAY. 
YET THE FOLKS 
WHO HAD 
RESERVATION 
BROKE MORE FOR 
BUSH. 
>> THERE IS 
MAYBE ONE OTHER 
WAY WE MIGHT SAY 
IS SHE HELPING. 
IF SUDDENLY 
SOUTH FLORIDA, 
CARIBBEAN VOTE, 
ALREADY YOU HEAR 
REPORTS THAT 
KAMALA HARRIS IS 
JAMAICAN IS 
RESONATING WITH 
VOTERS THERE, 
THERE MIGHT BE 
OTHER WAYS WHERE 
WE MEASURE HER 
IMPACT. 
>> Reporter: 
YEAH, NO. 
IN 2000, FLORIDA 
FOR DEMOCRATS, 
THERE WAS SHOT 
THAT THE FIRST 
JEWISH VICE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
NOMINEE COULD 
GET VOTES FOR 
GORE IN FLORIDA. 
SOME SAY HE DID 
GET THEM THE 
VOTES BECAUSE OF 
THE DESIGN OF 
THE BALLOT. 
>> WHAT AN 
EXCELLENT, 
EXCELLENT SET OF 
NUMBERS TODAY. 
I LOVE THAT VP 
CHART. 
NICE TO SEE. 
WELL DONE. 
JOINING ME NOW 
IS ONE OF JOE 
BIDEN'S MOST 
IMPORTANT 
SUPPORTERS IN 
CONGRESS, JIM 
CLYBURN. 
SINCE HELPING 
HIM GAIN THE 
MOMENTUM THAT 
LED HIM TO THE 
NOMINATION, HE 
ADVISED JOE 
BIDEN ON A 
RUNNING MATE 
PICK. 
HERE IS WHAT HE 
TOLD ME BEFORE 
THE PICK WAS 
MADE ABOUT WHAT 
HE WOULD LIKE TO 
SEE FROM JOE 
BIDEN. 
TAKE A LISTEN. 
>> JOE BIDEN IS 
A GUY FULL OF 
COMPASSION. 
HE HAS MUCH MORE 
COMPASSION THAN 
HE EXHIBI S 
PASSION. 
>> CONGRESSMAN 
JOINS ME NOW. 
YOU KNOW, THE 
SECOND YOU SAID 
THAT TO US, ALL 
OF US IN OUR 
MEET THE PRESS 
NEWSROOM WAS 
GOING, ALL 
RIGHT, WHO IS HE 
TALKING ABOUT. 
WELL? 
>> 
,
I THINK THE 
DEMOCRATS --
,
. 
>> WHAT WOULD BE 
YOUR -- WHAT 
WOULD BE YOUR 
CONCERN ABOUT 
SORT OF -- LET 
ME ASK YOU THIS, 
THERE IS A LOT 
OF ASSUMPTION 
KAMALA HARRIS IS 
GOING TO EXCITE 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
VOTERS. 
WHAT ELSE NEEDS 
TO BE DOWN TO 
EXCITE YOUNGER 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
VOTERS? 
%
VOTERS? ,
. 
>> CONGRESSMAN, 
I AM GOING TO 
HAVE TO CUT THIS 
SHORT. 
WE HAVE A LITTLE 
BIT OF AN AUDIO 
ISSUE ON OUR 
END. 
ALWAYS A 
PLEASURE TO HAVE 
YOU ON. 
ENJOY THE 
CONVENTION. 
>>> THE 
PANELISTS WITH 
ME, YOU KNOW, TO 
GO TO THIS ISSUE 
OF PASSION, 
RIGHT, THAT HE 
BROUGHT UP, WHAT 
-- WHAT DO YOU 
THINK THAT WILL 
LOOK LIKE 
TONIGHT? 
WHAT DOES 
PASSION FROM 
KAMALA HARRIS 
LOOK LIKE 
TONIGHT? 
>> Reporter: WE 
GOT A LITTLE BIT 
OF A PREVIEW 
WHEN SHE STEPPED 
OUT WITH JOE 
BIDEN WHEN SHE 
WAS FIRST 
ANNOUNCED. 
ANYONE THAT 
COVERED OR 
WATCHED KAMALA 
HARRIS IN 
SETTINGS LIKE 
THIS, THIS IS A 
STRANGE ONE, IT 
WILL BE VIRTUAL 
WITHOUT THE 
CROWD BUT SHE IS 
EFFECTIVE AT 
COMBINING SHARP 
ATTACKS WITH THE 
PERSONA THAT IS 
AUTHENTIC TO 
HER, WARM, OPEN, 
QUICK TO LAUGH, 
CONNECTS ON A 
PERSONAL LEVEL 
AS WELL AS IN 
THE ROOM. 
YOU KNOW, I 
THINK THAT SHE 
COMBINES THOSE 
THINGS TOGETHER 
IN A WAY THE 
FORMAT WILL BE 
CHALLENGINGIC 
BUT I THINK IT 
WILL BE 
TRANSPARENT HOW 
SHE FEELS ABOUT 
THIS, BEING THE 
FIRST AFRICAN-
AMERICAN WOMAN 
TO GET THIS 
NOMINATION AND 
HOW SHE FEELS 
ABOUT PRESIDENT 
TRUMP AND HAVING 
COVERED KAMALA 
HARRIS IN THE 
PAST, I WOULD BE 
SURPRISED IF 
THAT DOESN'T 
SHOW THROUGH. 
>> INTERESTING, 
THE FORMAT, I 
FEEL LIKE THE 
PERSON THAT 
FIGURED OUT THIS 
FORMAT IS 
MICHELLE OBAMA. 
YOU KNOW, IT 
WASTAGES  WAS -- 
FELT LIKE SHE 
WAS TALKING TO 
YOU. 
I THINK IT IS 
HARDER TO DO THE 
BIG SPEECH 
WITHOUT AN 
AUDIENCE. 
>> Reporter: 
YEAH. 
MICHELLE OBAMA, 
YOU DIDN'T WANT 
TO DARE TURN 
AWAY. 
SHE WAS DEADLY 
SERIOUS. 
I AM INTERESTED 
TO SEE WHAT IT 
LOOKS LIKE 
BECAUSE THIS WAS 
THE STAGE THAT 
WAS SUPPOSED TO 
BE IN MILWAUKEE. 
THE TRUCKS WERE 
ON THE WAY TO 
MILWAUKEE AND 
THEN THEY GOT 
THE CALL TO COME 
TO DELAWARE. 
SO -- I HAVE NO 
IDEA WHAT IT 
LOOKS LIKE BUT 
IT COULD BE 
CHALLENGING FOR 
HER. 
YOU KNOW, EVEN 
THOUGH THE 
SPEECHES WE SAW 
FROM OUTSIDE, 
CAME ACROSS 
BETTER AND WERE 
EASIER FOR THE 
AUDIENCE TO 
ABSORB SO THAT 
COULD BE HARD TO 
TRANSLATE. 
>> YOU PROBABLY 
HAVE MORE 
EXPERIENCE THAN 
ANY OF US HERE 
WHEN IT COMES TO 
SPEAKING IN 
FRONT OF A 
CROWD, TRYING TO 
HAVE A DOESN'T 
CONVERSATION, AN 
INTIMATE FEEL, 
THIS IS ONE 
ASPECT THAT I 
THINK IT IS AN 
EXTRA CHALLENGE. 
>> Reporter: I 
THINK IT IS. 
I SPOKE AT THE 
2012 CONVENTION 
ON THE BIG 
STAGE. 
YOU LOVE THE 
FEEDBACK YOU ARE 
GETTING FROM AN 
AUDIENCE SO THIS 
IS GOING TO BE A 
LITTLE BIT 
DIFFERENT SO 
HERE IS WHERE I 
THINK IT COULD 
WORK FOR KAMALA 
HARRIS. 
PART OF HER JOB 
TONIGHT IS 
INTRODUCING 
HERSELF TO 
PEOPLE AND WHAT 
BETTER WAY TO 
INTRODUCE 
YOURSELF THAN TO 
BE IN THEIR 
LIVING ROOMS, 
KITCHENS AND 
DENS WHILE YOU 
ARE TALKING WITH 
THEM SO I THINK 
THAT COULD WORK 
TO HER ADVANTAGE 
SO THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE CAN SEE A 
LITTLE BIT OF 
HER PERSONALITY 
AND WHO SHE IS. 
I THINK IT -- 
YOU KNOW, IT 
MATTERS WHAT THE 
SET UP IS BUT I 
SUSPECT THAT SHE 
IS GOING TO 
SEIZE THIS 
MOMENT. 
SHE KNOWS IT IS 
A BIG MOMENT, 
SHE HAS TO 
CONNECT ON THE 
BIG ISSUES 
CHALLENGING 
DONALD TRUMP BUT 
AT THE SAME TIME 
MAKING SURE THAT 
SHE COMES ACROSS 
TO THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE AS 
SOMEBODY WHO IS 
READY TO BE ON 
THIS BIG STAGE. 
>> YOU WROTE 
ABOUT WOMEN IN 
POLITICS AND 
WORKING SINCE 
THE END OF THE 
CLINTON CAMPAIGN 
AND I WANTED TO 
GET YOUR 
REACTION TO 
SOMETHING I 
THOUGHT WAS 
REALLY 
INTERESTING TAKE 
ABOUT HOW KAMALA 
HARRIS IS THE 
FIRST -- MAY BE 
THE THIRD WOMAN 
VICE PRESIDENT 
NOMINEE BUT SHE 
IS THE FIRST 
THAT ISN'T BEING 
ASKED TO RESCUE 
A TICKET THAT IS 
LOSING. 
BEFORE THEY WERE 
LIKE HELP RESCUE 
US AND IT WAS 
ALMOST UNFAIR. 
IN THIS CASE, 
KAMALA HARRIS 
ISN'T ALREADY 
BEING PENALIZED 
WITH WHEN SHE IS 
BEING PICKED. 
>> Reporter: 
RIGHT.
AT THE SAME TIME 
I THINK I 
IMAGINE KAMALA 
HARRIS FEELS THE 
ADDITIONAL 
PRESSURE, RIGHT? 
JOE BIDEN CAN'T 
GO UP MUCH 
HIGHER IN THE 
POLLS. 
>> NO. 
>> Reporter: NOT 
POSSIBLE. 
SO I WOULD -- 
YOU KNOW FOR, 
HER SAKE I AM 
SURE SHE IS 
RELIEVED THERE 
WAS A BOUNCE FOR 
HER. 
BUT AT THE SAME 
TIME SHE TAKES 
THIS -- THIS 
STAGE TONIGHT 
WITH THE GRAVITY 
OF A REALLY GOOD 
CHANCE THAT SHE 
WILL BECOME THE 
FIRST WOMAN VICE 
PRESIDENT. 
>> THE 
TRADITIONAL 
THROSTLE RUNNING 
ROLL OF THE 
RUNNING MATE IS 
TO BE ON THE 
ATTACK, BEING 
THE PROSECUTOR. 
KAMALA HARRIS IS 
NOT AFRAID OF 
THAT ROLE. 
>> Reporter: IT 
HAS BEEN A 
NATURAL ROLE FOR 
HER AND SHE ALSO 
-- I SPENT TIME 
THINKING ABOUT 
THIS AS I 
COVERED HILLARY 
CLINTON'S 
CAMPAIGN AND 
OTHER WOMEN WHO 
HAVE FOUGHT IN 
THE PUBLIC ARENA 
FOR 
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, 
YOU KNOW, WOMEN 
ARE JUDGED BASED 
ON THE WAY THEY 
COME ACROSS ALL 
THE TIME. 
EVERY -- EVERY 
-- THE WAY THEIR 
VOICES SOUND, 
THE WAY THEY 
CARRY THEMSELVES 
AND KAMALA 
HARRIS HAS A 
UNIQUE SET OF 
POLITICAL 
TALENTS THAT 
MAKE IT -- MAKE 
HER PERHAPS THE 
RIGHT PERSON TO 
START TO BREAK 
THESE BARRIERS. 
THERE ARE A LOT 
OF THINGS SHE 
BRINGS TO THE 
TABLE IN TERMS 
OF RAW POLITICAL 
TALENT. 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
WAS A TALENTED 
POLITICIAN, SO 
IS KAMALA HARRIS 
AND IN SOME WAYS 
BECAUSE OF THE 
WAY WE REACT TO 
WOMEN 
POLITICIANS IT 
MAY REQUIRE A 
DIFFERENT SKILL 
SET, ESPECIALLY 
THIS FIRST TIME 
OUT OF THE GATE 
IF THEY GET INTO 
THE WHITE HOUSE 
AND ON THE HILL, 
SHE HAS MANAGED 
TO ASK THOSE 
TOUGH QUESTIONS 
TO BE SHARP, 
AGGRESSIVE 
WITHOUT COMING 
ACROSS IN A WAY 
THAT IS 
NECESSARILY OFF 
PUTTING IN THE 
WAY SO MANY 
PEOPLE SAY I 
WOULD LOVE A 
WOMAN PRESIDENT 
BUT MAYBE NOT 
THAT WOMAN. 
SHE WILL HAVE TO 
KEEP WALKING 
THAT LINE THE 
WHOLE TIME. 
>> LOOK, IT IS A 
LOT ABOUT HOW 
WOMEN 
POLITICIANS HAVE 
BEEN COVERED BY 
THE COLLECTIVE 
MEDIA AND I 
THINK THAT 
CHANGE IS GOING 
TO HELP BREAK 
THOSE 
STEREOTYPES THAT 
HURT WOMEN 
POLITICIANS IN 
THE PAST. 
STICK AROUND. 
I WILL SNEAK IN 
ANOTHER BREAK. 
UP AHEAD, LIVE 
TO PHILADELPHIA 
WHERE THE FORMER 
PRESIDENT IS 
SPEAKING TONIGHT 
AND WE WILL TALK 
ABOUT THE 
CURRENT 
PRESIDENT'S 
DISTURBING 
REMARKS LATE 
TODAY. 
BUT FIRST ON 
THIS NIGHT THAT 
BELONGS TO THE 
VICE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
NOMINEE, 2008, 
JOE BIDEN WAS 
MAKING THE CASE 
FOR PRESIDENT 
OBAMA. 
>> THE CHOICE IN 
THIS ELECTION IS 
CLEAR, THESE 
TIMES REQUIRE 
MORE THAN A GOOD 
SOLDIER, THEY 
REQUIRE A WISE 
LEADER. 
A LEADER WHO CAN 
CHANGE, CHANGE 
THE CHANGE THAT 
WE KNOW 
EVERYBODY NEEDS.

TO OUR 
DEMOCRATIC 
NATIONAL 
CONVENTION 
COVERAGE ON NBC 
NEWS NOW. 
FORMER PRESIDENT 
OBAMA WILL 
ADDRESS THE 
CONVENTION 
TONIGHT LIVE 
FROM THE MUSEUM 
OF AMERICAN 
REVOLUTION IN 
PHILADELPHIA. 
NBC NEWS WHITE 
HOUSE 
CORRESPONDENT IS 
ON THE GROUND IN 
PHILADELPHIA. 
PETER, WHAT HAVE 
YOU LEARNED? 
TELL US ABOUT 
WHERE YOU ARE 
AND WHAT WE 
EXPECT TO HEAR. 
>> Reporter: WE 
ARE RIGHT HERE 
OUTSIDE THIS 
MUSEUM OF THE 
AMERICAN 
REVOLUTION IN 
PHILADELPHIA.
THAT IS BY 
DESIGN. 
THIS SITE WAS 
SELECTED SO THAT 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
COULD UNDERSCORE 
THE SIGNIFICANCE 
OF THIS 
ELECTION. 
THIS IS OUR VERY 
DEMOCRACY THAT 
IS AT STAKE HERE 
AND SPEAKING TO 
THOSE CLOSE TO 
THE FORMER 
PRESIDENT, THEY 
SAY HIS 
RESPONSIBILITY 
TONIGHT WON'T BE 
JUST TO GO AFTER 
DONALD TRUMP, 
WHEN HE WILL DO, 
SAYING HE IS 
SELF-ABSORBED, 
SELF-SERVED. 
HE HAS SHOWN NO 
INTEREST TO 
TREAT THE 
PRESIDENT MORE 
THAN A REALITY 
SHOW. 
TO BE THE 
VALIDATER AND 
CHIEF OF JOE 
BIDEN. 
THE MAN WHO WAS 
THE LAST ONE IN 
THE ROOM DURING 
THE DECISION-
MAKING PROCESS 
ON DEALING WITH 
A RECESSION, 
HEALTH CARE AS 
WELL. 
ONE OF THE 
CHALLENGES WILL 
BE TO PUT MEAT 
ON THAT BONE. 
WHAT WE WILL BE 
WATCHING FOR IS 
MUCH THE SAME 
WAY AT HIS 
CONVENTION 
SPEECH, DONALD 
TRUMP SAID I 
ALONE CAN FIX 
IT. 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
WILL SAY WE 
TOGETHER CAN FIX 
IT NOW. 
IT IS UP TO ALL 
AMERICANS TO GET 
INVOLVED IN THIS 
DEMOCRACY TO 
MAKE A 
DIFFERENCE RIGHT 
NOW, NOT JUST TO 
VOTE BUT TO STAY 
ENGAGED. 
THE MESSAGE WILL 
BE FOR EVERYBODY 
BUT SPECIFICALLY 
FOR THOSE WHO 
ARE UNDECIDED 
AND EVEN FOR 
THOSE WHO 
CONSIDER NOT 
VOTING AT ALL. 
>> BEHIND THE 
SCENES, DOES THE 
TRUMP CAMPAIGN 
RELISH A 
COMPARISON WITH 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
OR NOT? 
DOES THE 
CAMPAIGN RELISH 
IT? 
>> Reporter: YOU 
KNOW, THAT IS A 
GOOD QUESTION. 
WHEN YOU 
SPEAKING TO THE 
PRESIDENT, YOU 
POSE THESE 
QUESTIONS. 
TWEETING ABOUT 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
AND HILLARY 
CLINTON, SAYING 
WELCOME TO THE 
POLITICAL 
BATTLEFIELD. 
WHEN YOU TALK 
ABOUT PRESIDENT 
OBAMA WITH 
CAMPAIGN 
MEMBERS, THEY 
KNOW HE IS THE 
MOST POPULAR 
POLITICIAN IN 
THIS COUNTRY 
RIGHT NOW. 
IF HE COULD GIVE 
THE STAMP OF 
APPROVAL TO JOE 
BIDEN, THAT WILL 
PROVE 
PROBLEMATIC FOR 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
WHEN YOU SPEAK 
TO THEM, THEY 
REALIZE 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
IS ONE OF THEIR 
BIGGEST 
CHALLENGERS 
OVERALL. 
>> OUTSIDE WHERE 
WE EXPECT TO 
HEAR FROM 
PRESIDENT OBAMA, 
DO YOU HAVE ANY 
IDEA, ARE THERE 
GOING TO BE 
PEOPLE INSIDE OR 
NOT? 
>> Reporter: 
THAT IS A GOOD 
QUESTION. 
I WILL REACH OUT 
AFTER THIS 
CONVERSATION AND 
FIND OUT. 
THERE ARE PLENTY 
OF PEOPLE 
OUTSIDE. 
WE REPORTED THIS 
A COUPLE HOURS 
AGO. 
HUNDREDS OF 
FOLKS HERE IN 
DOWNTOWN 
PHILADELPHIA 
HAVE FLOODED 
THESE STREETS TO 
BE A PART OF 
WHAT THEY 
BELIEVE WILL BE 
A HISTORIC 
MOMENT. 
NOT JUST KAMALA 
HARRIS' SPEECH 
BUT PRESIDENT 
OBAMA COMING 
BACK TO THE 
CITY. 
>> LIKE I SAID, 
HE MAY BE AT HIS 
PEAK OF HIS POST 
RESIDENTIAL 
POWERS. 
THANK YOU. 
IF IT WEREN'T 
FOR, YOU KNOW, 
THE VIRUS, WE 
WOULD BE DOING 
THIS SHOW FROM 
MILWAUKEE 
BECAUSE THAT IS 
WHERE THE 
DEMOCRATS WOULD 
BE PUTTING ON 
THEIR SHOW AND 
WHILE THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
NATIONAL 
CONVENTION IS A 
SMALL FOOTPRINT, 
VICE PRESIDENT 
MIKE PENCE WAS 
THERE WORKING TO 
BOOST TURNOUT IN 
RED AREAS OF THE 
STATE. 
>> Reporter: THE 
WHITE HOUSE HAS 
BEEN ON THE 
GROUND IN 
WISCONSIN AS 
MUCH AS THE 
DEMOCRATS HAVE 
DESPITE THE 
DEMOCRATS 
PUTTING THEIR 
CONVENTION IN 
MILWAUKEE. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
WAS HERE, VICE 
PRESIDENT MIKE 
PENCE 
CAMPAIGNING HERE 
TODAY. 
THEY ARE TRYING 
TO BE EVERYWHERE 
IN THE STATE. 
THIS IS A STATE 
THE PRESIDENT 
CARRIED BY FEWER 
THAN 25,000 
VOTES. 
IT HAD BEEN 
DEMOCRAT BEFORE 
THAT. 
THEY ARE TRYING 
TO JUICE NUMBER 
IN THE RURAL 
PARTS OF THE 
STATE WHERE HE 
IS POPULAR 
BEFORE GOING TO 
THE SUBURBAN 
REPUBLICAN PARTS 
OF THE STATE. 
TODAY THE VICE 
PRESIDENT WAS 
HERE, THIS IS 
WHERE REPUBLICAN 
PRESIDENTIAL 
CANDIDATES HAVE 
A 100-YEAR 
WINNING STREAK 
AND HE IS TRYING 
TO RING AS MUCH 
SUPPORT AS HE 
CAN FROM THE 
DEDICATED TRUMP 
SUPPORTERS, 
TAKING PEOPLE 
WHO ARE VOTERS 
AND TRYING TO 
TURN THEM INTO 
VOLUNTEERS AND 
ACTIVISTS AND 
TRYING TO KEEP 
PEOPLE IN THE 
FOLD. 
NOT EXACTLY 
HAPPY WITH THIS 
PRESIDENT BUT 
NOT GOING TO GO 
ANYWHERE NEAR A 
DEMOCRATIC 
CANDIDATE. 
>> A LOT OF 
PEOPLE SAY IT IS 
BECAUSE HE IS A 
BUSINESS MAN, HE 
HASN'T BEEN A 
LIFETIME 
POLITICIAN AND 
HE TELLS IT LIKE 
IT IS BUT I 
DON'T LIKE THE 
WAY HE TELLS IT. 
I DON'T LIKE THE 
WAY HE APPEARS 
TO IGNORE HIS 
WIFE, I DON'T 
LIKE THE WAY HE 
TALKS ABOUT 
WOMEN, WHETHER 
IT IS NOW OR IN 
THE PAST. 
DON'T LIKE THE 
WAY HE DOESN'T 
SHOW EMPATHY FOR 
PEOPLE WHEN HE 
SHOULD BE 
SHOWING HIS 
HEART. 
IT MAKES ME 
EMBARRASSED THAT 
HE IS MY CHOICE. 
>> Reporter: SHE 
SEEMS LIKE THE 
KIND OF 
REPUBLICAN THAT 
THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN WOULD 
LOVE TO TARGET. 
SHE WANTS A 
PRESIDENT WITH 
EMPATHY, SHE 
TOLD ME SHE IS 
SCARED TO DEATH 
OF THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY. 
SHE DOESN'T WANT 
TO SEE THEM IN 
CHARGE. 
FOR THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN, THE 
MOST THEY CAN 
HOPE FOR IS TO 
KEEP VOTERS LIKE 
DEBBIE AT HOME. 
THAT IS ONE 
THING SHE SAID 
MIGHT BE THE 
CASE HERE. 
SHE PROBABLY 
WANTS THE 
PRESIDENT TO GET 
REELECTED BUT 
SHE COULD NOT 
VOTE. 
THAT COULD MAKE 
ALL THE 
DIFFERENCE. 
>> BIG THANK 
YOU. 
A FASCINATING, 
FASCINATING 
REPORT ABOUT 
JUST ONE VOTER. 
FASCINATING. 
JOINING ME NOW 
TO TALK A LITTLE 
BIT MORE ABOUT 
WISCONSIN, THE 
LIEUTENANT 
GOVERNOR OF THAT 
STATE. 
MR. LIEUTENANT 
GOVERNOR, GOOD 
TO SEE YOU 
AGAIN. 
I HOPE YOU GOT A 
CHANCE TO HEAR 
THAT VOTER JUST 
NOW. 
I DON'T KNOW IF 
YOU GOT A CHANCE 
TO SEE IT. 
HOW DO -- HOW 
WOULD YOU TALK 
TO THAT VOTER? 
SHE IS SKEPTICAL 
OF DEMOCRATS, 
DOESN'T LIKE 
THIS PRESIDENT. 
HOW DO YOU MAKE 
THE CASE TO HER? 
>> Reporter: 
THAT IS THE 
SECOND TIME I 
GOT TO HEAR HER 
TODAY. 
AND THE CASE WE 
MAKE TO THAT 
SORT OF 
CANDIDATE, THERE 
IS A BETTER WAY, 
THERE IS A 
CHOICE FOR THE 
CANDIDATE IN JOE 
BIDEN WHO 
LISTENED TO 
EVERY CONCERN 
SHE LAID OUT.
I THINK PEOPLE 
HAVEN'T LISTENED 
TO WHAT JOE 
BIDEN IS TALKING 
ABOUT. 
>> WHAT -- TELL 
ME ABOUT THE 
SMALL FOOT PRINT 
ON THIS 
CONVENTION AND, 
YOU KNOW, IS IT 
-- DO YOU FEEL 
AS IF MILWAUKEE 
IS ENGAGED? 
ONE OF THE 
REASONS WAS TO 
ENGAGE MILWAUKEE 
RESIDENTS IN 
FAMILIAR, 
GETTING THEM 
MORE INTERESTED 
IN THIS 
ELECTION, MUCH 
HARDER IN A 
VIRTUAL FORMAT. 
WHAT KIND OF 
LUCK DO YOU HAVE 
IN ENGAGING 
MILWAUKEE AND 
MADISON? 
>> Reporter: 
YEAH. 
I FEEL LIKE 
MILWAUKEE IS 
ENGAGED. 
NOT TO THE 
DEGREE WE 
EXPECTED IT TO 
BE ENGAGED. 
WITH THE 
PANDEMIC, THERE 
IS VERY LITTLE 
THAT WE COULD 
DO. 
WE HAVE A 
PRESIDENT THAT 
PRETENDED ITTEND 
DIDN'T EXIST. 
DIDN'T EXIST. ,
. 
>> YOU KNOW -- 
YOU KNOW, THIS 
DIVIDE ON HOW TO 
CAMPAIGN, THE 
TRUMP CAMPAIGN 
DECIDED TO 
DOUBLE DOWN ON 
IN-PERSON 
CAMPAIGNING. 
TRYING TO DO IN-
PERSON DOOR 
KNOCKING. 
YOU GUYS ARE ALL 
PUTTING HEALTH 
FIRST HERE. 
HOW CONCERNEDRED 
YOU THAT YOU ARE 
NOT GOING TO BE 
ABLE TO DO THE 
FACE TO FACE, 
GET OUT THE VOTE 
ORGANIZING THAT 
CLEARLY WAS 
HELPFUL IN 2018 
IN THE STATE OF 
WISCONSIN? 
>> THE MORE FACE 
TO FACE THE MORE 
WE ARE ABLE TO 
GET OUT IN FRONT 
AND -- I DON'T 
FORESEE THAT 
MUCH DOOR 
KNOCKING 
HAPPENING FROM 
REPUBLICANS 
EITHER BECAUSE 
PEOPLE AREN'T 
GOING TO BE 
WILLING TO 
ANSWER A DOOR 
FOR A STRANGER 
SO IT WILL BE 
IMPORTANT TO 
ENGAGE IN 
TRADITIONAL 
MEDIA BECAUSE 
WHEN YOU KNOCK 
AT A PERSON'S 
DOOR YOU RUN THE 
RISK OF A PERSON 
NOT BEING HOME. 
WHILE PEOPLE ARE 
AT HOME THEY ARE 
CONSUMING MEDIA, 
THEY ARE READING 
NEWSPAPERS. 
THERE IS STILL 
AN INCREDIBLE 
CHANCE TO GET IN 
FRONT OF PEOPLE. 
I AM CONCERNED 
ABOUT NOT HAVING 
THE FACE TO FACE 
CONVERSATIONS.
IT IS NOT A 
HAPPY TIME IN 
AMERICA RIGHT 
NOW. 
YOU LOOK AT ALL 
THE POLLING 
DATA, MOST 
AMERICANS TAKE 
IT SERIOUSLY. 
SO I THINK WE 
ARE DOING THE 
RIGHT THING AND 
THE PUBLIC WILL 
RESPOND TO IT. 
>> THE 
LIEUTENANT 
GOVERNOR FROM 
WISCONSIN, 
APPRECIATE YOU 
COMING ON. 
I HOPE YOU 
ENJOYED THE 
CONVENTION AS 
BEST YOU CAN 
UNDER THESE 
CIRCUMSTANCES. 
>> APPRECIATE 
IT. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>>> WE WANT TO 
UPDATE YOU ON 
SOMETHING, THE 
PRESIDENT SAID 
TONIGHT, A GROUP 
OF CONSPIRACY 
THERASTS
CONSPIRACY -- 
THEY INSPIRED 
VIOLENT ACTS. 
THIS IS A 
PREVIEW OF THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
NATIONAL 
CONVENTION, WE 
DIDN'T PLAN ON 
HAVING A BIG 
DONALD TRUMP 
SEGMENT BUT WHAT 
HE SAID TODAY 
WAS ALARMING. 
WHAT DID HE SAY? 
>> Reporter: SO 
LET ME SAY I AM 
SURE HE DIDN'T 
PLAN TO UTTER 
THE WORDS IN 
RELATION TO THE 
YOUR DNC 
COVERAGE TONIGHT 
BUT THAT IS THE 
VERY FRINGE, 
JUST CONSPIRACY 
THEORY, THE 
BELIEF PRESIDENT 
TRUMP HAS BEEN 
TASKED TO BRING 
THEM TO JUSTICE. 
IT IS A HUGE 
ISSUE. 
LAST YEAR THE 
FBI EVEN 
DESIGNATED -- 
CONCERNED ABOUT 
THE THREAT OF 
EXTREMISM FROM 
SUPPORTERS SO 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
WAS ASKED ABOUT 
THIS BECAUSE 
RECENTLY THERE 
HAVE BEEN A 
COUPLE PEOPLE -- 
SHE OPENLY TALKS 
ABOUT CONSPIRACY 
THEORIES, THE 
PRESIDENT DODGED 
A QUESTION ABOUT 
THIS A COUPLE 
DAYS AGO BUT 
SOME REPORTERS 
WANTED TO NO 
MORE. 
I WANT TO PLAY 
THAT EXCHANGE. 
>> I DON'T KNOW 
MUCH ABOUT THE 
MOVEMENT OTHER 
THAN THEY LIKE 
ME VERY MUCH. 
THESE ARE PEOPLE 
THAT LOVE OUR 
COUNTRY. 
>> Reporter: 
THIS BELIEF THAT 
YOU ARE SAVING 
THE WORLD FROM 
THIS IS A TANNIC 
CULT OF 
PEDOPHILES AND 
CANNIBALS. 
DOES THAT SOUND 
LIKE SOMETHING 
YOU ARE BEHIND? 
>> I HAVEN'T 
HEARD THAT. 
BUT IS THAT 
SUPPOSED TO BE A 
BAD THING OR A 
GOOD THING? 
YOU KNOW? 
IF I CAN HELP 
SAVE THE WORLD 
FROM PROBLEMS I 
AM WILLING TO DO 
IT, I AM WILLING 
TO PUT MYSELF 
OUT THERE. 
AND WE ARE 
ACTUALLY. 
>> Reporter: 
HERE IS WHY THAT 
IS SUCH AN 
EXTRAORDINARY 
ANSWER, THE 
PRESIDENT NOT 
ONLY DID NOT 
DISAVOW THEM BUT 
APPRECIATE THE 
SUPPORT. 
HE SAID I DON'T 
KNOW MUCH ABOUT 
THEM, YOU HAVE 
TO REMEMBER, 
THIS IS NOT NEW. 
IF THIS WAS 
2018, 2019, A 
LOT OF PEOPLE 
DIDN'T KNOW Q, 
NOW, STILL, IT 
HAS IN THE NEWS, 
ESPECIALLY OVER 
THE PAST FEW 
DAYS, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP FOLLOWS 
THE NEWS, AND 
YET THAT IS THE 
ANSWER HE GIVES. 
WHY? 
HE MADE WHAT I 
THINK IS A VALID 
POINT, 
INTERESTING 
POINT, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP OFTEN 
FINDS IT 
DIFFICULT TO 
DEFAULT TO 
ANYTHING OTHER 
THAN IF THEY 
SUPPORT DONALD 
TRUMP, THEY MUST 
NOT BE TOO BAD 
AND THAT IS A 
PATTERN TIME AND 
AGAIN AND IT 
APPEARS THAT IS 
THE DIRECTION 
THE PRESIDENT 
WAS HEADED AS HE 
GOT THESE 
QUESTIONS TODAY. 
THERE IS THE 
RISK, THERE ARE 
PEOPLE WHO SAY 
TALKING ABOUT Q 
-- 
>> I KNOW. 
>> Reporter: 
AGAIN, CRAZY 
CONSPIRACY 
THEORY GIVES 
OXYGEN TO IT SO 
I HAVE TO 
REMEMBER, THIS 
IS SOMETHING THE 
PRESIDENT IS 
HIMSELF NEEDING 
TO ADDRESS 
BECAUSE THERE 
ARE PEOPLE WHO 
ARE WANTING TO 
GET INTO THE 
MAIN STREAM 
REPUBLICAN BLOOD 
STREAM HERE, WHO 
BELIEVE THIS 
STUFF. 
>> WELL, IT IS 
EVEN WORSE, THE 
BELIEF PUTS HIM 
AT THE CENTER. 
HE JUST EMBRACED 
IT. 
LOOK, HE TOLD US 
HE WOULD DO THIS 
AT THE BEGINNING 
OF THE EXAMPLE 
FOUR YEARS AGO 
WHEN HE REFUSED 
TO DENOUNCE 
DAVID DUKE AND 
HERE WE GO 
AGAIN. 
THANK YOU. 
I AM NOT GOING 
TO KEEP GOING 
DOWN THAT RABBIT 
HOLE, I WANT TO 
TURN TO TONIGHT, 
THERE ARE OTHER 
A-LIST 
DEMOCRATIC STARS 
SPEAKING TONIGHT 
THAT ARE NOT 
NAMED KAMALA 
HARRIS AND 
PRESIDENT OBAMA. 
YOU HAVE 
ELIZABETH 
WARREN, NANCY 
PELOSI, HILLARY 
CLINTON. 
HILLARY CLINTON 
IS NOT SPEAKING 
IN THE 10:00 
P.M. 
HOUR BUT 
ELIZABETH WARREN 
AND NANCY PELOSI 
ARE. 
WHAT SHOULD WE 
TAKE AWAY FROM 
THAT? 
>> Reporter: I 
DON'T THINK SHE 
CARES. 
I DON'T. 
YOU KNOW, SHE IS 
-- SHE HAPPY TO 
DO WHATEVER IS 
USEFUL TO THE 
TICKET. 
I WISH -- I HAVE 
A COUPLE 
THOUGHTS ABOUT 
THE WOMEN 
SPEAKING 
TONIGHT. 
ONE IS THERE IS 
A REMARKABLE 
NUMBER OF THEM. 
IT IS ORGANIC. 
THE DEMOCRATS 
DIDN'T HAVE TO 
GO LOOKING, THEY 
ARE THE PARTY. 
THE FORMER 
SPEAKER OF THE 
HOUSE, A MAJOR 
PRESIDENTIAL 
CANDIDATE AND 
THE FORMER 
NOMINEE AND I 
KNOW THAT -- I 
WISH HILLARY 
CLINTON GOT TO 
WALK INTO THE 
ARENA IN 
MILWAUKEE 
TONIGHT BECAUSE 
I KNOW THERE 
WOULD HAVE BEEN 
AN OUTPOURING OF 
LOVE FOR HER BUT 
YOU SAW -- DO 
NOT LET THAT 
HAPPEN. 
SHE HER MESSAGE 
IS -- 
>> NANCY PELOSI 
IS GOING TO BE 
SPEAKING 
TONIGHT. 
THE LEADOFF 
SPEAKER IN THE 
SECOND HOUR, AND 
SHE IS KNEE DEEP 
IN POST OFFICE 
AND CORONAVIRUS 
RELIEF, WHAT DO 
WE EXPECT FROM 
HER?

WELL, SHE HAS 
BEEN PERHAPS THE 
HIGHEST PROFILE 
OVER THE LAST 
COUPLE OF YEARS 
DEMOCRATIC IN 
WASHINGTON WHO 
HAVE TAKEN ON 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
PEOPLE RAISED 
QUESTIONS ABOUT 
WHETHER OR NOT 
SHE WOULD BE THE 
SPEAKER OF THE 
HOUSE, WAS SHE 
THE RIGHT 
PERSON, AND SHE 
SWASHED THAT 
LINE OF 
THINKING, GOT 
HERSELF 
REINSTALLED AND 
THEN BECAME 
POPULAR AND TOOK 
ON THE PRESIDENT 
IN ALL THESE 
WAYS WHICH SHE 
LEARNED HOW TO 
GET UNDER HIS 
SKIN AND WHAT TO 
SAY TO MAKE HIM 
REACT IN THE WAY 
THAT GETS HER 
WHAT SHE WANTS. 
THEY HAVEN'T 
SPOKEN IN MONTHS 
SO YES, SHE IS 
LEADING THIS 
HOUSE, BRINGING 
THE HOUSE BACK 
ON SATURDAY TO 
VOTE ON POST 
OFFICE FUNDING 
AS WE HAVE SEEN 
THE PRESIDENT 
SAY, IF THEY 
DON'T GET THEIR 
MONEY THEY CAN'T 
EXECUTE THE 
ELECTION. 
I WOULD EXPECT 
TO SEE MORE OF 
THAT FROM NANCY 
PELOSI. 
>> YOU KNOW, I 
FEEL LIKE NANCY 
PELOSI ENTERED A 
NEW PHASE OF 
WHERE -- NOT 
JUST WHERE SHE 
STANDS IN 
HISTORY BUT HOW 
THE DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY EMBRACES 
HER, REMINDS ME 
OF TED KENNEDY. 
THE PARTY DIDN'T 
ALWAYS EMBRACE, 
AND THEN THEY 
REALIZED HE IS 
SO TALENTED. 
YES. 
AND IT WAS A 
REEMBRACE OF 
HIM. 
I AM SENSING 
THAT WITH NANCY 
PELOSI. 
FAIR? 
>> Reporter: 
ABSOLUTELY. 
SINCE JANUARY 
2017, IT HAS 
BEEN NANCY 
PELOSI WHO HAS 
TAKEN ON DONALD 
TRUMP MOST 
DIRECTLY AND 
EFFECTIVELY AND 
I THINK THE 
PARTY REALIZES 
THAT AND THE 
COUNTRY REALIZES 
THAT. 
SHE HAS COME 
INTO HER OWN IN 
THIS PHASE OF 
HER STENT AS 
SPEAKER AND I 
THINK -- YOU 
KNOW, I CAN'T 
THINK OF 
ANYBODY, NOT 
ANYONE WHO WOULD 
HAVE BEEN ABLE 
TO LEAD 
DEMOCRATS IN THE 
HOUSE OF 
REPRESENTATIVES 
AND CONGRESS. 
EXCITING TO SEE 
HER TAKE CENTER 
STAGE AND WE 
HAVE AT LEAST 
THREE DEMOCRATIC 
WOMEN WHO STOOD 
IN DONALD 
TRUMP'S HEAD FOR 
THE LAST FOUR 
YEARS. 
>> EXACTLY. 
LIVING RENT FREE 
AS  THE 
CONVENTION WITH 
YOU THREE. 
I ENJOYED IT. 
THANK YOU ALL 
FOR BEING WITH 
US THIS HOUR. 
THE PROGRAM FOR 
NIGHT THREE OF 
THE DEMOCRATIC 
NATIONAL 
CONVENTION WILL 
BEGIN IN JUST A 
MOMENT. 
DON'T GO ANYWHERE
. IF THERE IS A 
PROBLEM, WE WILL 
COME RIGHT BACK. 
HERE IT IS. 
,
>>> I PLEDGE 
ALLEGIANCE TO 
THE FLAG. 
>> OF THE UNITED 
STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
,
>> HEY, 
EVERYBODY, IT'S 
ME, KAMALA. 
BEFORE I GO ON 
STAGE, I WANT TO 
TALK ABOUT  THE 
IMPORTANCE OF 
VOTING. 
I KNOW MANY OF 
YOU PLAN TO VOTE 
THIS YEAR. 
AMIDST THE 
EXCITEMENT OF 
THE ENTHUSIASM, 
WE HAVE ALSO 
HEARD ABOUT 
OBSTACLES AND 
MISINFORMATION 
AND FOLKS MAKING 
IT HARDER FOR 
YOU TO CAST YOUR 
BALLOT. 
I THINK WE NEED 
TO ASK OURSELVES,
WHY DON'T THEY 
WANT US TO VOTE? 
WHY IS THERE SO 
MUCH EFFORT TO 
SILENCE OUR 
VOICES? 
THE ANSWER IS 
BECAUSE, WHEN WE 
VOTE, THINGS 
CHANGE. WHEN WE 
VOTE, THINGS GET 
BETTER. 
WHEN WE VOTE, WE 
ADDRESS THE NEED 
FOR ALL PEOPLE 
TO BE TREATED 
WITH DIGNITY AND 
RESPECT IN OUR 
COUNTRY. 
SO EACH OF US 
NEEDS A PLAN, A 
VOTING PLAN. 
JOE AND I WANT 
TO MAKE SURE YOU 
ARE PREPARED. 
IF YOU TEXT VOTE 
TO 30330, WE 
WILL HELP YOU 
COME UP WITH 
YOUR PLAN. 
REMEMBER 
DEADLINES AND 
GET READY TO 
VOTE IN YOUR 
COMMUNITY. 
SEND THAT TEXT 
AND ENCOURAGE 
YOUR FAMILY AND 
FRIENDS TO SEND 
ONE, TOO. 
NOW, LET'S ENJOY 
ANOTHER NIGHT OF 
INSPIRATION FROM 
AROUND OUR 
COUNTRY. 
I WILL SEE YOU A 
LITTLE LATER 
TONIGHT. 
UNTIL THEN, I 
TURN IT OVER TO 
MY DEAR FRIENDS 
IN TONIGHT'S 
MODERATOR. 
>>> WELCOME 
TONIGHT THREE OF 
THE DEMOCRATIC 
NATIONAL 
CONVENTION. 
I AM HONORED TO 
BE JOINING YOU 
AS WE CONTINUE 
TO CELEBRATE 
THIS 
UNCONVENTIONAL 
CONVENTION. 
WE ARE GOING TO 
BE HEARING A LOT 
MORE FROM 
SENATOR HARRIS 
LATER, I 
PROMISE. 
BUT FIRST, WHEN 
I WAS IN SEVENTH 
OR EIGHTH GRADE, 
WE MEMORIZED THE 
PREAMBLE OF THE 
CONSTITUTION. 
I HAVE NEVER 
FORGOTTEN IT. 
THE FIRST 15 
WORDS OF OUR 
CONSTITUTION 
ARE, WE THE 
PEOPLE OF THE 
UNITED STATES, 
IN ORDER TO FORM 
A MORE PERFECT 
UNION. 
WE SAY MORE 
PERFECT BECAUSE 
OUR UNION IS NOT 
WITHOUT FLAWS. 
WHEN OUR 
CONSTITUTION WAS 
WRITTEN, WOMEN 
COULDN'T VOTE 
FOR BLACK PEOPLE 
WERE CONSIDERED 
3/5 OF A HUMAN 
BEING. 
BUT THEREIN LIES 
THE WORK. 
NO ONE IS 
PERFECT. 
NOTHING IS. 
BUT IT IS THE 
STRIVING TOWARD 
JUSTICE, EQUALITY
, AND TRUTH THAT 
DISTINGUISHES 
US. 
WE FIGHT FOR A 
MORE PERFECT 
UNION BECAUSE WE 
ARE FIGHTING FOR 
THE SOUL OF THIS 
COUNTRY AND FOR 
OUR LIVES. AND 
RIGHT NOW, THAT 
FIGHT IS REAL. 
TONIGHT, WE ARE 
GOING TO HEAR 
FROM SO MANY 
PHENOMENAL WOMEN 
WHO ARE WORKING 
TO HELP US BUILD 
THAT MORE 
PERFECT UNION. 
SPEAKER NANCY 
PELOSI, 
SECRETARY 
HILLARY CLINTON, 
SENATOR 
ELIZABETH 
WARREN, GOVERNOR 
MICHELLE LOHAN 
GRISHAM. 
WE ARE GOING TO 
SEE AN INCREDIBLE
PERFORMANCE FROM 
JENNIFER HUSTON 
AND A WORLD 
PREMIERE 
PERFORMANCE FROM 
BILLIE EILISH. 
WE WILL MEET SO 
MANY ACTIVISTS. 
WE WILL HEAR 
FROM OUR 34th 
PRESIDENT, 
BARACK OBAMA. 
THAT'S A LONG 
WAY OF SAYING 
THIS IS GOING TO 
BE AN 
UNFORGETTABLE 
NIGHT, FILLED 
WITH IMPORTANT 
BUSINESS. 
THE MOST 
IMPORTANT VOICE 
WE HOPE TO HEAR 
FROM TONIGHT IS 
THE ONE WE NEED 
TO HEAR FROM 
MOST. 
IT'S YOURS. 
IF WE ARE GOING 
TO REPAIR THE 
DAMAGE THAT HAS 
BEEN DONE, IF WE 
ARE GOING TO 
FINALLY REALIZE 
THE DREAM, WE, 
THE PEOPLE HAVE 
TO GET INVOLVED 
NEED TO GET 
INVOLVED. 
IT'S GOING TO BE 
YOUR VOICE, YOUR 
SERVICE, YOUR 
ACTION THAT 
HELPS US CREATE 
THAT MORE 
PERFECT UNION. 
TONIGHT, WE ARE 
GOING TO TALK 
ABOUT WHERE WE 
ARE AND WHERE WE 
ARE GOING ON SO 
MANY ISSUES 
IMPORTANT TO OUR 
FUTURE. 90% OF 
AMERICANS REPORT 
COMMON SENSE GUN 
LAWS BECAUSE WE 
NEED TO DO MORE 
TO ADDRESS THE 
EPIDEMIC OF GUN 
VIOLENCE. 
LET'S START 
THERE. 
>>> PEOPLE 
AFFECTED BY 
EVERY DAY GUN 
VIOLENCE HAD TO 
WALK BY THE 
STREET CORNER 
WHERE THEIR BEST 
FRIEND, THEIR 
MOTHERS, THEIR 
BROTHERS WERE 
SHOT. 
IT GOES ON AND 
ON. 
THE POINT OF 
WHAT I AM SAYING 
IS, UNTIL ONE OF 
US FOR ALL OF US 
STAND UP AND 
SAY, I CAN'T DO 
THIS ANYMORE, I 
CAN'T SIT BY AND 
WATCH THESE 
SHOOTINGS BEING 
TREATED LIKE 
ACTS OF GOD, GUN 
VIOLENCE IS NOT 
GOING TO STOP. 
I AM GOING TO DO 
SOMETHING TO 
PREVENT IT. 
,
>> THEY SAY THAT 
GUN LAWS -- THEY 
SAY A GOOD GUY 
WITH A GUN STOPS 
A BAD GUY WITH A 
GUN. 
THEY SAY GUNS 
ARE JUST LIKE 
KNIVES. 
THEY SAY THAT NO 
LAW COULD HAVE 
BEEN ABLE TO 
PREVENT THE 
HUNDREDS. 
US KIDS DON'T 
KNOW WHAT WE'RE 
TALKING ABOUT, 
THAT WE ARE TOO 
YOUNG TO 
UNDERSTAND. 
WE TALK. 
WE ACT. 
>> WHAT WE ARE 
FIGHTING FOR 
WILL HAPPEN 
BECAUSE WE ARE 
FIGHTING SO 
STRONGLY FOR 
ITS. 
WE ARE GOING TO 
MAKE THIS CHANGE.
>>> LONG BEFORE 
THIS PANDEMIC, 
OUR CITY HAS BEEN
SUFFERING FOR 
THE EPIDEMIC OF 
GUN VIOLENCE. 
>> GUN VIOLENCE 
IS A PUBLIC 
HEALTH CRISIS. 
ONE THAT DISSES 
FORTUNATELY 
EFFECTS THE 
BLACK AND BROWN'S
COMMUNITIES. 
SEVERAL YEARS 
LATER, IT WOULD 
BE MY SON. 
I KNOW EXACTLY 
THE PAIN, THE 
HEARTBREAK OF 
GUN VIOLENCE. 
>> MY FRESHMAN 
YEAR, MY HIGH 
SCHOOL WENT INTO 
LOCKDOWN BECAUSE 
A KID BROUGHT A 
GUN TO SCHOOL. 
>> WE HAVE TO 
ENDURE LIVE 
SHOOTER TRAINING 
DRILLS. 
>> HIGH SCHOOL 
HAVE ENOUGH TO 
DEAL WITH. 
THEY SHOULD ALSO 
BE RESPONSIBLE 
FOR KEEPING 
THEMSELVES SAFE 
AT SCHOOLS. 
THAT IS THE JOB 
OF THE 
GOVERNMENT. 
>> WE HAVE TO 
END CORPORATE 
LOBBYING. 
WE HAVE TO 
ADDRESS MENTAL 
HEALTH IN OUR 
COMMUNITIES. 
>> I WANT A 
PRESIDENT WHO 
MAKES GUN 
VIOLENCE A TOP 
PRIORITY, AND 
THAT WOULD BE 
JOE BIDEN.

MOTHER AND 
ACTIVISTS

>> IN A SPLIT 
SECOND, A SINGLE 
BULLET SHATTERED 
MY FAMILY'S 
LIFE. 
MY SON WAS ONLY 
13 YEARS OLD. HE 
WAS RECOGNIZED 
AS A GIFTED AND 
TALENTED STUDENTS
. THE 
POSSIBILITIES 
WERE ENDLESS. 
HE WAS AT A 
BIRTHDAY PARTY 
WHEN HE WAS SHOT 
IN THE BACK LEFT 
SIDE OF HIS HEAD.
IT SHATTERED HIS 
GOAL. 
ONE-SHOT CHANGED 
OUR LIVES FOREVER
. TODAY, HE DOES 
NOT TALK. 
HE DOES NOT WALK.
I KNOW HE KNOWS 
ME BY THE SMILE 
HE SHOWS WHEN I 
WALK IN HIS 
ROOM. 
I AM UNSURE IF 
HE KNOWS A GUN 
SHOT HAS CHANGED 
HIS LIFE. 
SINCE MARCH, I 
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN 
ABLE TO SEE MY 
SON THREE TIMES. 
I CAN'T TOUCH OR 
HUG HIM DUE TO 
COVID-19. PEOPLE 
TELL ME THAT I'M 
LUCKY. I TELL 
THEM WE ARE 
BLESSED. I 
REMIND THEM THAT 
MY SON IS IN A 
WHEELCHAIR AND 
UNABLE TO FEED 
HIMSELF. 
I DON'T THINK HE 
FEELS LUCKY WHEN 
HE HAS TO BE 
BASED FROM HEAD 
TO TOE OR GET 
INJECTIONS FOR 
MUSCLE 
CONTRACTIONS. 
I AM A IN A 
SPACE OF 
GRATITUDE. 
YES, I CAN TOUCH 
HIM. 
I CAN HOLD HIS

THAT I BIRTHED 
IS NOT ABLE TO 
LEAVE HIS DREAM,

EVERY DAY, WE 
ARE REMINDED 
THAT HE MAY 
NEVER BE THE 
SAME. 
WE ARE NOT 
ALONE.

ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY, THERE 
ARE FAMILIES WHO 
KNOW WHAT A 
BULLET CAN DO. 
THAT'S WHY MY MOM

TO STOP THIS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
HE DOESN'T CARE. 
HE DIDN'T CARE 
ABOUT THE 
VICTIMS OF 
PARKLAND, LAS 
VEGAS, OR EL 
PASO. 
I WANT A 
PRESIDENT WHO 
CARES ABOUT OUR 
PAIN AND GRIEF, 
A PRESIDENT WHO 
WILL TAKE ON THE 
GUN LOBBY TO BAN 
ASSAULT WEAPONS 
BAN ASSAULT 
WEAPONS AND KEEP 
GUNS OUT OF THE 
HANDS OF 
CRIMINALS. JOE 
BIDEN HAS TAKEN 
ON THE NRA TWICE 
AND WON. 
HE WILL DO IT 
AGAIN AS 
PRESIDENT.

IN THE EYES OF 
TOO MANY PARENTS

LITERALLY SCORES

LOST THEIR 
CHILDREN TO GUN 
VIOLENCE.

WHERE WE GO TO 
SCHOOL, WHAT 
KIND OF CAREERS 
WE WILL HAVE, TO 
WHETHER OR NOT 
WE CAN RAISE A 
FAMILY, DEPENDS 
ON US TAKING 
CLIMATE CHANGE 
SERIOUSLY RIGHT 
NOW. 
JOE BIDEN WON'T 
SOLVE THIS 
CRISIS IN FOUR 
YEARS. 
NO ONE CAN. 
THAT HE WILL PUT 
ITS BACK ON 
TRACK SO THAT MY 
GENERATION CAN 
HAVE A FIGHTING 
CHANCE. 
I'M ASKING YOU 
TO JOIN US. 
DON'T LET OUR 
FUTURES GO UP IN 
FLAMES. 
>> CORN GROWERS 
NEAR MY FRIENDS 
FARM HAVE A 
CHANGE. 
KNEE-HIGH BY THE 
FOURTH OF JULY. 
I'M ANDREW. 
I STUDIED AT 
NORTHERN 
MICHIGAN 
UNIVERSITY. 
OUR FARMERS CAN 
SEE CLIMATE 
CHANGE HAPPENING 
IN FRONT OF US. 
WE ARE TRYING TO 
DO OUR PART. 
ADOPTING 
SUSTAINABLE 
SOLUTIONS, 
ADOPTING A 
COMMUNITY MODEL. 
ELIMINATING TONS 
OF CARBON BY 
MIMICKING 
NATURAL 
ECOSYSTEMS. 
WE CAN BE PART 
OF THE SOLUTION 
IS TO THE 
PROBLEM. 
TODAY, WE CAN 
ALL GROW OUR OWN 
FUTURE. 
WE NEED OUR 
LEADERS TO BE 
PART OF THE 
SOLUTION AS WELL 
IS IT A PART OF 
THE PROBLEM. 
WHEN HE THEM TO 
COMMIT. 
WE NEED THEM TO 
PUT PLANS IN 
PLACE RATHER 
THAN ROLE THE

THAT IS WHAT JOE 
BIDEN IS DOING 
WITH HIS CLEAN 
ENERGY 
REVOLUTION. 
>> I SPENT A LOT 
OF TIME TALKING 
TO ABOUT CLIMATE 
CHANGE WITH 
DIFFERENT 
COMMUNITIES HERE

THE ONE QUESTION 
I ASKED OVER AND 
OVER AGAIN IS, 
WHAT ARE YOU 
DOING HERE? 
NOT A LOT OF 
CLIMATE ACTIVISTS
LOOK LIKE ME. 
I'M A LATINA AND 
CLIMATE ACTIVIST.
I GREW UP IN A 
LOW INCOME 
NEIGHBORHOOD 
WHERE POLLUTION 
RATE ARE OFTEN 
HIGHER. A LOT OF 
KIDS HAVE ASTHMA.
RENEWABLE ENERGY 
WOULD BE IN 
CLEANER AIR, 
BETTER HEALTH,, 
AND STEADIER 
INCOMES BECAUSE 
SOLAR IS ONE OF 
THE FASTEST 
GROWING JOBS IN 
THE COUNTRY. 
JOE BIDEN'S PLAN
, HE KNOWS THAT 
SAVING THE PLANET
IS NOT A TASK TO 
OVERCOME. 
IT IS AN 
OPPORTUNITY TO 
BUILD A BETTER 
WAY OF LIFE. 
>> WHAT'S IT 
GOING TO BE,  
AMERICA? 
>> ARE YOU READY 
TO  VOTE FOR JOE 
BIDEN? 
>> OUR FUTURES 
DEPEND ON IT.

FOLKS WE JUST 
HEARD FROM, NEXT

MENTION AN 
IMMENSELY 
TALENTED ARTIST. 
SHE WORKS TO 
ASSURE THAT HER 
MOST RECENT 
CONCERT TOUR WAS 
GREEN AND 
SUSTAINABLE, 
URGING HER FANS 
TO TAKE SIMILAR 
ACTIONS IN THEIR 
DAILY LIVES, AND 
EVEN BEFORE SHE 
WAS OLD ENOUGH 
TO VOTE, SHE 
HELD 
REGISTRATION 
DRIVES BEFORE 
HER SHOWS, 
FINDING OF 
THOUSANDS OF 
VOTERS PICK SHE 
IS A VOICE FOR 
HER GENERATION 
IN BOTH HER 
MUSIC AND HER 
ACTIVISM. 
YOU TO PERFORM 
MY FUTURE 
PUBLICLY FOR THE 
FIRST TIME, 
BILLIE EILISH. 
>> YOU DON'T 
NEED ME TO TELL 
YOU THINGS ARE A 
MESS. 
DONALD TRUMP IS 
DESTROYING OUR 
COUNTRY AND 
EVERYTHING WE 
CARE ABOUT. 
WE NEED LEADERS 
WHO WILL SOLVE 
PROBLEMS LIKE 
CLIMATE CHANGE 
AND COVID, NOT 
DENY THEM. 
LEADERS THAT 
WILL FIGHT 
AGAINST RACISM 
AND INEQUALITY. 
THAT STARTS BY 
VOTING FOR 
SOMEONE WHO 
UNDERSTANDS HOW 
MUCH IS AT STAKE
, SOMEONE WHO IS 
BUILDING A TEAM 
THAT SHARE THEIR 
VALUES. 
IT STARTS WITH 
VOTING AGAINST 
DONALD TRUMP AND 
FOR JOE BIDEN. 
WE CANNOT SIT 
THIS ONE OUT. 
WE ALL HAVE TO 
VOTE LIKE OUR 
LIVES IN THE 
WORLD DEPEND ON 
IT BECAUSE THEY 
DO.

MAKE IT

EILISH, THANK 
YOU. 
OKAY. 
NOW WE ARE GOING 
TO TALK ABOUT 
SOME THINGS 
CLOSE TO MY 
HEART, THE BLACK 
COMMUNITY IN 
THIS COUNTRY IS 
USUALLY DIVERSE. 
ON MY FATHER'S 
SIDE, I AM 
DESCENDED FROM 
AFRICAN-
AMERICANS WHO 
CAME FROM SHIPS  
THAT LANDED IN 
SOUTH CAROLINA 
AND WHO WERE 
PART OF THE 
GREAT MIGRATION 
THAT HAS PLAYED 
SUCH A DEFINING 
ROLE IN WHO WE 
ARE AS A NATION. 
ON MY MOTHER'S 
SIDE, MY 
GRANDPARENTS 
CAME HERE AS 
IMMIGRANTS, PART 
OF A RICH HISTORY
THAT HAS ALSO 
DEFINED AMERICA. 
THEY IMMIGRATED 
TO THIS COUNTRY 
FROM THE WEST 
INDIES THROUGH 
ELLIS ISLAND IN 
THE 1920s. 
I OFTEN THINK 
ABOUT HOW MY 
GRANDMOTHER MUST 
HAVE FELT WHEN 
SHE FIRST SAW 
THE STATUE OF 
LIBERTY AND HER 
RACE TORCH. 
MY FAMILY'S 
STORY IS NOT 
UNIQUE. 
UNLESS YOU ARE 
NATIVE AMERICAN, 
YOUR FAMILY 
LIKELY CAME HERE 
FROM SOMEWHERE 
ELSE, WHETHER IT 
WAS FIVE YEARS 
AGO OR 200 YEARS 
AGO, WHETHER IT 
WAS BY CHOICE OR 
BY BONDAGE. 
ETCHED INTO THE 
DNA OF WHO WE 
ARE AS A NATION 
IS THE VERY IDEA 
THAT THOUGH YOU 
MAY BE FROM 
SOMEWHERE ELSE, 
YOU CAN FIND 
YOUR HOME HERE. 
BUT THAT IDEA IS 
IN DANGER, NOW 
MORE THAN EVER 
BEFORE. 
>> DEAR DONALD 
TRUMP, MY NAME 
IS ESTELLA. 
I AM 11 YEARS 
OLD. 
MY MOM IS MY 
BEST FRIEND. SHE 
CAME TO AMERICA 
AS A TEENAGER 
OVER 20 YEARS 
AGO WITHOUT 
PAPERS IN SEARCH 
OF A BETTER 
LIFE. 
SHE MARRIED MY 
DAD, WHO SERVED 
OUR COUNTRY AS A 
MARINE IN AFRICA 
AND IRAQ. 
MY MOM WORKED 
HARD AND PAID 
TAXES, AND THE 
OBAMA 
MINISTATION TOLD 
HER SHE COULD 
STAY. 
MY DAD THOUGHT 
YOU WOULD 
PROTECT MILITARY 
FAMILIES, MR. 
PRESIDENT. 
HE SAYS HE WON'T 
VOTE FOR YOU 
AGAIN AFTER WHAT 
YOU DID TO OUR 
FAMILY. 
>> THE WIFE OF A 
U.S. MARINE 
VETERAN WAS 
DEPORTED TO

IS GONE. 
SHE HAS BEEN 
TAKEN FROM US 
FOR NO REASON AT 
ALL. 
EVERY DAY THAT 
PASSES, YOU 
DEPORT MORE MOMS 
AND DADS AND 
TAKE THEM AWAY 
FROM KIDS LIKE 
ME. 
>> WE WILL BEGIN 
MOVING THEM OUT, 
DAY ONE. 
>> YOU SEPARATED 
THOUSANDS OF 
CHILDREN FROM

WIFE OF A PROUD 
AMERICAN MARINE 
AND A MOTHER OF 
TWO AMERICAN 
CHILDREN. 
WE ARE AN

WILL BRING 
PEOPLE TOGETHER, 
NOT TEAR THEM

NOVEMBER 3, I'M 
GOING TO VOTE 
FOR MY MOTHER, 
MY SISTER, AND 
MY DAUGHTERS. 
I WILL VOTE FOR 
A FUTURE WHERE

SOMETHING UNIQUE 
ABOUT AMERICA. 
WE DON'T SIMPLY 
WELCOME 
IMMIGRANTS. 
WE ARE BORN OF

OUR ORIGIN STORY.
AFTER ALL, UNLESS
YOUR FAMILY IS 
NATIVE AMERICAN, 
ALL OF OUR 
FAMILIES ARE 
FROM SOMEPLACE 
ELSE. 
,
IN THESE NEW 
AMERICANS, WE 
SEE OUR OWN

THERE IS 
DISCRIMINATION 
AND HARDSHIP AND 
POVERTY. 
LIKE YOU, THEY 
NO DOUBT FOUND 
INSPIRATION IN 
ALL OF THOSE WHO 
HAVE COME BEFORE 
THEM, AND THEY 
WERE ABLE TO 
MUSTER FAITH 
THAT HERE IN 
AMERICA, THEY 
MIGHT BUILD A 
BETTER LIFE. 
GIVE THEIR 
CHILDREN 
SOMETHING MORE. 
ATTENTION 
BETWEEN OUR 
HISTORY IS ABOUT 
MORE THAN 
IMMIGRATION. 
IT'S ABOUT THE 
MEANING OF 
AMERICA. 
WHAT KIND OF 
COUNTRY DO WE 
WANT TO BE? 
IMMIGRANTS ARE 
THE TEACHERS WHO 
INSPIRE OUR 
CHILDREN. THEY 
ARE THE DOCTORS 
WHO KEEP US 
HEALTHY. 
THEY ARE THE 
ENGINEERS WHO 
DESIGN OUR 
SKYLINES AND THE 
ARTISTS AND 
ENTERTAINERS WHO 
TOUCH OUR 
HEARTS. 
IMMIGRANTS ARE 
SOLDIERS, 
SAILORS, AIRMEN, 
MARINES, COAST 
GUARD WHO 
PROTECT US. 
WE CAN NEVER SAY 
IT OFTEN OR 
LOUDLY ENOUGH. 
IMMIGRANTS AND

REVITALIZE AND 
RENEW AMERICA. 
IT'S NOT 
SOMETHING TO 
TAKE FOR GRANTED.
SOMETHING TO 
CHERISH AND TO 
FIGHT FOR.

GOING TO JAIL TO 
PUSH US CLOSER 
TO A MORE 
PERFECT UNION. 
55 YEARS AGO, 
JOHN LEWIS 
MARCHED AND BLED 
IN SELMA BECAUSE 
THAT WORK WAS 
UNFINISHED. 
TONIGHT, I'M 
THINKING OF THE 
GIRLS AND BOYS 
WHO SEE 
THEMSELVES IN 
AMERICA'S FUTURE 
BECAUSE OF 
KAMALA HARRIS, A 
BLACK WOMAN, THE 
DAUGHTER OF 
JAMAICAN AND 
INDIAN 
IMMIGRANTS, AND 
OUR NOMINEE FOR 
VICE PRESIDENT. 
THIS IS OUR 
COUNTRY'S STORY, 
BREAKING DOWN 
BARRIERS AND 
EXPANDING THE 
CIRCLE OF 
POSSIBILITY. AND 
TO THE YOUNG 
PEOPLE WATCHING, 
DON'T GIVE UP ON 
AMERICA. DESPITE 
OUR FLAWS AND 
PROBLEMS, WE 
HAVE COME SO 
FAR. 
WE CAN STILL BE 
A MORE JUST, 
EQUAL COUNTRY 
WITH 
OPPORTUNITIES 
PREVIOUS 
GENERATIONS 
COULD NEVER HAVE 
IMAGINED. 
THERE'S A LOT OF 
HEARTBREAK IN 
AMERICA NOW, AND 
THE TRUTH IS, 
MANY THINGS WERE 
BROKEN BEFORE 
THE PANDEMIC. 
BUT AS THE 
SAYING GOES, THE 
WORLD BREAKS 
EVERYONE, AND 
AFTERWARDS, MANY 
ARE STRONG IN 
THE BROKEN 
PLACES. 
THAT IS JOE 
BIDEN. 
HE KNOWS HOW TO 
KEEP GOING, 
UNIFY, AND LEAD 
BECAUSE HE HAS 
DONE THAT FOR 
HIS FAMILY AND 
COUNTRY. 
SO IN NOVEMBER, 
IF WE ARE STRONG 
TOGETHER, WE 
WILL HEAL 
TOGETHER. WE 
WILL RETAIN THE 
SOUL AND THE 
PROMISE OF OUR 
COUNTRY LED BY 
PRESIDENT JOE 
BIDEN AND VICE 
PRESIDENT KAMALA 
HARRIS. 
>>> TONIGHT IS 
THE NIGHT 
STEEPED IN WOMEN 
WHO HAVE STEPPED 
INTO SERVICE AND 
ADVOCACY AND WHO 
ARE USING THEIR 
POWER FOR GOOD, 
THE POWER OF 
WOMEN IS 
UNDENIABLE, 
WHETHER IT'S IN 
THE OFFICE, IN 
THE HOME, OR IN 
THE HOUSE OF 
REPRESENTATIVES. 
IT IS MY HONOR 
TO INTRODUCE THE 
SPEAKER OF THE 
HOUSE, NANCY 
PELOSI. 
>> I WAS NEVER 
RAISED IN A WAY 
THAT I WOULD BE 
RUNNING FOR 
PUBLIC OFFICE. 
IT DIDN'T 
INTEREST ME. 
WHEN I GRADUATED 
FROM COLLEGE, I 
GOT MARRIED AND 
HAD CHILDREN. 
THAT WAS MY LIFE.
MY CHILDREN ARE 
GROWN. THE 
OPPORTUNITY TO 
RUN FOR COMMERCE 
CAME ALONG. 
>> SHE RAN 
BECAUSE ANOTHER 
WOMAN SAID RUN. 
AND SHE WON. 
STARTING ON A 
PATH THAT WOULD 
MAKE HISTORY, 
THE FIRST WOMAN 
SPEAKER OF THE 
HOUSE. 
>> FOR OUR 
DAUGHTERS AND 
HER 
GRANDDAUGHTERS, 
TODAY, WE HAVE 
BROKEN THE 
MARBLE CEILING. 
>> I FEEL 
RESPONSIBILITY 
TO OTHER WOMEN 
AS I STOOD ON 
THE SHOULDERS OF 
THOSE WHO WENT 
BEFORE ME. 
>> NOW IT WAS 
HER TURN. 
WINNING AND 
MAKING HER 
SPEAKER ONCE 
AGAIN. 
>> WE DIDN'T 
HAVE A SPEAKER 
WHO WOULD BRING 
THIS ISSUE TO 
THE FLOOR. 
WE DO NOW. 
>> AND THAT'S 
GOOD FOR EVERY 
AMERICAN. 
BUT NOT EVERYONE 
WAS ON BOARD. 
>> HOUSE SPEAKER 
NANCY PELOSI 
>> HOUSE SPEAKER 
NANCY PELOSI 
>> THE POWER OF 
THE SPEAKER IS 
AWESOME. 
,
>> IF YOU WANT 
TO GO INTO THE 
ARENA, YOU HAVE 
TO BE PREPARED 
TO TAKE A PUNCH. 
YOU ALSO HAVE TO 
BE PREPARED TO 
THROW A PUNCH. 
>> THROW A PUNCH 
FOR THE CHILDREN.
>> FROM RUNNING 
A HOUSE TO 
SPEAKER OF THE 
HOUSE AND TAKING 
ON THE WHITE 
HOUSE. 
UNAPOLOGETIC. 
>> MADAM SPEAKER.
>> MADAM SPEAKER.
>> MADAM SPEAKER.
,
>> AND NOW, 
PLEASE WELCOME 
NANCY PELOSI. 
>> THE HOUSE 
DEMOCRATS, THE 
MOST MAJORITY IN 
HISTORY. 
MORE THAN 60% 
WOMEN, PEOPLE OF 
COLOR, AND LGBTQ.
OUR DIVERSITY IS 
OUR STRENGTH. 
OUR UNITY IS OUR 
POWER. 
THIS MONTH, AS 
AMERICA MARKS 
THE CENTENNIAL 
OF WOMEN WINNING 
THE RIGHT TO 
VOTE, WE DO SO 
WITH 105 WOMEN 
IN THE HOUSE. 
PROBABLY, 90 OR 
DEMOCRATS. 
TO WIN THE VOTE, 
WOMEN MARCHED 
AND FOUGHT AND 
NEVER GAVE IN. 
WE STAND ON 
THEIR SHOULDERS, 
CHARGED WITH 
CARRYING FORTH 
THE UNFINISHED 
WORK OF OUR 
NATION ADVANCED 
BY HEROES FROM 
SENECA FALLS TO 
SELMA. 
FOUR YEARS AGO, 
WHEN PRESIDENT 
OBAMA AND VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
WERE IN THE 
WHITE HOUSE, 
THEY MADE US 
PROUD, AND THEIR 
LEADERSHIP MADE 
OUR COUNTRY 
GREAT. 
THAT SPIRIT, WE 
COME TOGETHER 
NOW. 
TO LIGHT THE WAY 
FORWARD FOR OUR 
COUNTRY. 
THAT IS THE 
GUIDING PURPOSE 
OF PAST 
DEMOCRATS 
FIGHTING FOR THE 
PEOPLE. 
WE HAVE SITS 
CENTREVILLE TO 
LOWER HEALTHCARE 
COSTS 
,
WE HAVE SENT THE 
SENATE BILL TO 
PROTECT OUR 
DREAMERS, LGBTQ 
EQUALITY, GUN 
VIOLENCE, AND TO 
PRESERVE OUR 
PLANET FOR 
FUTURE 
GENERATIONS. AND 
EVEN MORE. 
ALL OF THIS IS 
POSSIBLE FOR 
AMERICA. WHO IS 
STANDING IN THE 
WAY? 
MITCH McCONNELL 
AND DONALD TRUMP.
OUR NATION FACES 
THE WORST HEALTH 
AND ECONOMIC 
CATASTROPHE IN 
OUR HISTORY. 
MORE THAN 5 
MILLION AMERICANS
ARE INFECTED BY 
THE CORONAVIRUS. 
170,000 HAVE DIED
. THE SCIENCE-
BASED ACTION THE 
HEROES THREE 
MONTHS AGO IS 
ESSENTIAL TO 
SACRED LIVES, 
LIVELIHOOD, AND 
THE LIFE OF OUR 
DEMOCRACY. 
AND HE WAS 
STANDING IN THE 
WAY? 
MITCH McCONNELL 
AND DONALD TRUMP.
INSTEAD OF 
QUESTIONING THE 
VIRUS, THEY ARE 
TRYING TO CRUSH 
THE AFFORDABLE 
CARE ACT. 
IT IS 
,
AS SPEAKER OF 
THE HOUSE, I 
HAVE SEEN 
FIRSTHAND DONALD 
TRUMP'S 
DISRESPECT FOR 
FACTS, FOR 
WORKING 
FAMILIES, AND 
FOR WOMEN IN 
PARTICULAR ARE 
DISRESPECT 
WRITTEN INTO HIS 
POLICIES TOWARD 
OUR HEALTH AND 
OUR LIVES. 
NOT JUST HIS 
CONDUCT. 
BUT WE KNOW WHAT 
HE DOES, THAT 
WHEN WOMEN 
SUCCEEDS, 
AMERICA 
SUCCEEDS. 
WE ARE 
UNLEASHING THE 
POWER OF WOMEN 
TO TAKE OUR 
RIGHTFUL PLACE 
IN OUR NATIONAL 
LIFE, BY THE 
POWER OF WOMEN 
TO TAKE OUR 
RIGHTFUL PLACE 
IN OUR NATIONAL 
LIFE, A WOMAN'S 
RIGHT TO CHOOSE 
AND DEFEND ROE V 
WADE, SECURING 
SAFE AND 
AFFORDABLE 
CHILDCARE, 
PRESERVING 
SOCIAL SECURITY 
AND PASSING 
EQUAL PAY FOR 
EQUAL WORK. 
WHO IS STANDING 
IN THE WAY? 
MITCH McCONNELL 
AND DONALD 
TRUMP. 
THERE IS OUR 
ANSWER. 
WE WILL REMEMBER 
IN NOVEMBER AND 
WE WILL ELECT 
JOE BIDEN 
PRESIDENT, WHOSE 
HEART IS FULL OF 
LOVE FOR AMERICA 
AND WHOSE 
SURVIVE FOR 
AMERICA'S 
GOODNESS. 
JOE BIDEN FAITH 
IN GOD GIVES HIM 
THE STRENGTH TO 
PERSEVERE. 
JOE BIDEN IS THE 
PRESIDENT WE 
NEED RIGHT NOW. 
BATTLE TESTED, 
FORWARD-LOOKING, 
HONEST AND 
AUTHENTIC. 
HE HAS NEVER 
FORGOTTEN WHO HE 
IS FIGHTING FOR. 
KAMALA HARRIS AS 
A VICE 
PRESIDENT, SHE 
IS WHO WE NEED 
RIGHT NOW. 
COMMITTED TO OUR 
CONSTITUTION, 
BRILLIANT IN 
DEFENDING IT AND 
IN WITNESS TO 
THE WOMEN OF 
THIS NATION THAT 
OUR VOICES WILL 
BE HEARD. 
OUR MISSION IS 
TO FIGHT FOR A 
FUTURE EQUAL TO 
THE IDEALS OF 
OUR FOUNDER. 
A HOST FOR OUR 
CHILDREN AND THE 
SACRIFICES OF 
OUR VETERANS, 
OUR GREAT MEN 
AND WOMEN IN 
UNIFORM AND 
THEIR FAMILIES. 
WE WILL INCREASE 
OUR MAJORITY IN 
THE HOUSE, WE 
WILL WIN A 
DEMOCRATIC 
MAJORITY IN THE 
SENATE, WE ELECT 
KAMALA HARRIS 
VICE PRESIDENT, 
AND WE WILL 
ELECT JOE BIDEN 
PRESIDENT OF THE 
UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
GOD BLESS YOU, 
AND GOD BLESS 
AMERICA. 
>> THANK YOU, 
SPEAKER PELOSI. 
THE HOUSE IS THE 
PEOPLE'S HOUSE, 
AND TO ENSURE IT 
STAYS THAT WAY, 
WE NEED EVERYONE 
TO HELP FUND OUR 
WORK TO ELECT 
JOE BIDEN AND 
DEMOCRATS UP AND 
DOWN THE BALLOT. 
IF YOU ARE ABLE, 
PLEASE GO TO JOE 
BIDEN.COM NOW 
AND CHIP IN 
WHATEVER YOU CAN 
TO SUPPORT THIS 
CAMPAIGN. 
LAST YEAR, UNDER 
SPEAKER PELOSI'S 
LEADERSHIP, THE 
HOUSE 
REAUTHORIZED THE 
VIOLENCE AGAINST 
WOMEN ACT. 
JOE BIDEN WROTE 
THAT LANDMARK 
LAW NEARLY 30 
YEARS AGO. 
SINCE THEN, HE 
AND OTHER 
LEADERS HAVE 
BUILT ON IT. 
BUT FOR ALL OF 
THIS WORK, WOMEN 
ARE STILL NOT 
ENTIRELY SAFE. 
SO, THE WORST 
MUST CONTINUE. 
JOE BIDEN KNOWS 
THAT, AND HE IS 
COMMITTED TO 
DOING THAT WORK. 
TO MAKING SURE 
THAT WOMEN ARE 
SAFE, AND MAKING 
SURE OUR VOICES 
ARE HEARD. 
LET'S LISTEN. 
>> MY NAME IS 
RUTH GLENN. 
IN 1992, MY 
HUSBAND SHOT ME 
AND LEFT ME FOR 
DEAD. 
FOR 13 YEARS, MY 
SON AND I HAD 
BEEN ABUSED BY 
HIM. 
WE FINALLY 
ESCAPED, BUT HE 
TRACKED THIS 
DOWN. 
BACK THEN, THERE 
WAS LIMITED HELP 
AVAILABLE AND NO 
NATIONAL HOTLINE 
TO CALL. 
LOCAL SHELTERS 
WERE FULL. 
I DID NOT EVEN 
KNOW THE NAME 
FOR WHAT WAS 
HAPPENING TO ME, 
THEN. 
DOMESTIC 
VIOLENCE. 
NOW, WORKING TO 
END DOMESTIC 
VIOLENCE IS MY 
LIFE'S WORK. 
>> I MARESCA 
HARGITAY. 
WHEN I STARTED 
DOING RESEARCH 
TO PLAY 
DETECTIVE OLIVIA 
ON LAW AND ORDER 
SPU OVER 20 
YEARS AGO, I WAS 
SHOCKED TO FIND 
OUT HOW MANY 
PEOPLE INCLUDING 
CHILDREN 
EXPERIENCE 
PHYSICAL OR 
SEXUAL ABUSE. 
THE STATISTICS 
FUELED MY 
RESOLVE, AND I 
COMMITTED MYSELF 
TO THE MOVEMENT, 
TO END THIS 
VIOLENCE. 
>> MY NAME IS 
CARLY DRAGON, I 
DID NOT FEEL 
LIKE I COULD 
SPEAK OUT ABOUT 
MY EXPERIENCE 
WITH SEXUAL 
ASSAULT. 
BUT AT THE 
UNIVERSITY OF 
PUGET SOUND, I 
MET AN 
INCREDIBLE FORCE 
OF PEOPLE 
WORKING TO END 
THE CULTURE OF 
SEXUAL ASSAULT. 
I WENT FROM 
SURVIVOR TO 
ADVOCATE. 
>> AS THE 
PRESIDENT AND 
CEO OF THE 
NATIONAL 
COALITION 
AGAINST THE 
MYSTIC VIOLENCE, 
I HAVE SEEN JOE 
BIDEN'S 
PASSIONATE 
LEADERSHIP IN 
PASSING THE 
VIOLENCE AGAINST 
WOMEN ACT. 
WE NEED CONGRESS 
TO REAUTHORIZE 
AND ENHANCE THAT 
LAW. 
WE NEED LEADERS 
WHO BELIEVE THAT 
A WOMAN'S LIFE 
IS WORTH 
FIGHTING FOR. 
>> JOE BIDEN IS 
THAT KIND OF 
LEADER. 
I CREATED THE 
JOYFUL HEART 
FOUNDATION TO 
HELP SURVIVORS 
HEAL, AND TO 
CHANGE THE WAY 
OUR SURVIVORS 
RESPOND TO 
SEXUAL VIOLENCE. 
THE VICE 
PRESIDENT HAS 
WORKED 
TIRELESSLY BY 
OUR SIDE TO AND 
THE BACKLOG OF 
HUNDREDS OF 
THOUSANDS OF 
UNTESTEDKITS, 
AND OUR WORK 
WILL CONTINUE 
BECAUSE TESTING 
KITS NOT ONLY  
MAKES OUR 
COUNTRY SAFER, 
BUT IT SENDS A 
VITAL MESSAGE TO 
SURVIVORS THAT 
WHAT HAPPENED TO 
THEM MATTERS. 
>> THE MOST 
IMPORTANT THING 
YOU CAN SAY TO A 
SURVIVOR IS I 
HEAR YOU. 
THAT'S WHY I 
BECAME A LEADER 
IN THIS PROGRAM 
STARTED BY VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
TO ELIMINATE 
SEXUAL ASSAULT 
ON COLLEGE 
CAMPUSES AND 
SUPPORT A NEW 
GENERATION OF 
ADVOCATES, 
INCLUDING MEN 
AND BOYS. 
BECAUSE IF YOU 
ARE SILENT, YOU 
ARE COMPLICIT, 
AND WE ARE JUST 
GETTING STARTED. 
>> I AM VOTING 
FOR JOE BIDEN ON 
BEHALF OF ALL 
VICTIMS AND 
SURVIVORS OF 
DOMESTIC 
VIOLENCE. 
>> AM VOTING FOR 
JOE BIDEN 
BECAUSE IT'S ON 
MY GENERATION TO 
MAKE SURE WE 
NEVER GO BACK. 
>> I'M VOTING 
FOR JOE BIDEN, 
FOR MY DAUGHTER. 
FOR MY SONS. 
FOR ALL OF OUR 
CHILDREN. 
>> FIRST EPISODE 
WAS A SLAP TO 
THE FACE AND HE 
BROKE MY EARDRUM.
>> PUNCHING, 
KICKING, 
CHOKING, 
THREATENING WITH 
A KNIFE OR GUN. 
>> HE HAD ALWAYS 
THREATENED ME, 
IF I HAD EVER 
CALLED THE 
POLICE ON HIM 
THAT HE WOULD 
KILL ME. 
>> YOU DID NOT 
HEAR VOICES LIKE 
THESE IN THE 
HALL OF THE U.S. 
CAPITAL. 
>> MY HUSBAND 
STABBED ME 13 
TIMES AND BROKE 
MY NOSE WHILE 
POLICE WERE ON 
THE SCENE. 
I NEARLY DIED 
AND I'M 
PERMANENTLY 
PARALYZED. 
>> SENATOR JOE 
BIDEN INVITED 
THEM TO SPEAK. 
>> HE SAID WOMEN 
NEED TO BE TAKEN 
SERIOUSLY, SO 
PROPER POLICE 
RESPONSE CAN 
PREVENT 
HAPPENING TO ME 
WHAT HAPPENED TO 
SOMEONE ELSE. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> AT THE TIME, 
THE POLICE 
CONSIDERED 
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
SOMETHING THAT 
WAS NOT A CRIME. 
IN THE HOME, 
IT'S A PRIVATE 
MATTER. 
SO WOMEN WERE 
RESPONSIBLE FOR 
THEIR OWN 
INJURIES. 
>> I WAS ABOUT 
TO SAY I KNOW, 
BUT I DON'T 
KNOW. 
I CAN ONLY GUESS 
HOW PAINFUL THAT 
IS. 
>> GROWING UP, 
OUR FATHER SAID 
THE GREATEST OF 
ALL SINS WAS THE 
ABUSE OF POWER. 
HE TOLD US WHEN 
A BULLY, WHEN 
SOMEONE BIGGER 
OR STRONGER 
TAKES ADVANTAGE 
OF YOU, THAT IS 
A REALLY GREAT 
SEND. 
THE EXPECTATION 
WAS FOR ALL FOUR 
OF US, TO BE A 
PERSON OF 
CHARACTER. 
YOU SEE 
SOMETHING WRONG, 
WE WERE THEN 
EXPECTED TO 
STAND UP, AND DO 
SOMETHING ABOUT 
IT. 
>> WHEN JOE 
ENTERED HIS 
LEGISLATION, FEW 
BELIEVED THEY 
COULD PASS. 
>> OUR BILL IS 
AN AMBITIOUS 
UNDERTAKING, THE 
FIRST ATTEMPT TO 
ADDRESS VIOLENT 
CRIMES AGAINST 
WOMEN. 
>> IT WAS HARD 
TO GET THE VOTES 
BECAUSE YOU HAD 
TRADITIONALISTS 
WHO DID NOT 
BELIEVE THERE 
SHOULD BE LAWS 
ABOUT THIS. 
>> JOE DOESN'T 
GIVE UP. 
HE'S TENACIOUS. 
JOE PERSEVERED 
AND HE'S VERY 
GOOD AT 
PERSUASION. 
>> HE BROUGHT 
THE OTHER LAW 
ENFORCEMENT, 
PROSECUTORS, 
ADVOCATES, AND 
SURVIVORS. 
>> THANK YOU FOR 
GIVING ME THE 
OPPORTUNITY TO 
COME AND SPEAK. 
>> IN 1994, THE 
VIOLENCE AGAINST 
WOMEN'S ACT 
BECAME LAW, AND 
PROTECTED 
MILLIONS OF 
AMERICAN WOMEN. 
>> A LOT CHANGED 
IN THE ATTITUDES 
WE HAVE ABOUT 
DOMESTIC 
VIOLENCE. 
WE ARE SHAPED BY 
HIS LEADERSHIP 
ON THIS. 
>> YOU SEE 
SOMETHING WRONG, 
WE WERE THEN 
EXPECTED TO 
STAND UP, AND DO 
SOMETHING ABOUT 
IT. 
>> IF YOU ARE 
JUST JOINING US, 
WELCOME. 
COMING UP, WE 
HEAR FROM 
PRESIDENT BARACK 
OBAMA, AND 
SENATOR KAMALA 
HARRIS WHO WILL 
TALK ABOUT THE 
BIDEN HAIR IS 
VISION FOR THE 
FUTURE. 
IN ORDER TO GET 
TO THAT MORE 
PERFECT UNION, 
WE HAVE TO 
ACKNOWLEDGE 
WHERE WE ARE. 
TODAY, IN 
AMERICA, WE ARE 
STRUGGLING. 
UNEMPLOYMENT HAS 
SKYROCKETED, AND 
FAMILIES ARE 
FIGHTING TO KEEP 
THEIR JOBS. 
AS JOE BIDEN 
SAYS, WE NEED TO 
BUILD BACK 
BETTER. 
TO FIND OUT HOW 
YOU CAN JOIN 
THAT EFFORT, 
PLEASE TEXT JOIN 
TO 303 30 TO GET 
PLUGGED INTO THE 
CAMPAIGN AND GET 
MORE INFORMATION 
ON HOW TO VOTE 
AND HOW TO 
VOLUNTEER. 
JOE BIDEN HAS A 
PLAN TO HELP 
WORKING FAMILIES 
AND SMALL 
BUSINESSES. 
OUR NEXT SPEAKER 
WORKED ALONGSIDE 
HIM AS SECRETARY 
OF LABOR TO MAKE 
SURE THAT THERE 
WERE GOOD 
AMERICAN JOBS, 
AND THAT 
AMERICANS WERE 
SAFE ON THE JOB. 
TO HEAR MORE 
ABOUT THE BIDEN 
HARRIS ECONOMIC 
PLAN, PLEASE 
WELCOME TILDA 
POLICE. 
>> HELLO, THE 
DAY VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN 
FOR ME AND AS 
SECRETARY OF 
LABOR WAS ONE OF 
THE PROUDEST 
MOMENTS OF MY 
LIFE. 
MY PARENTS 
REALIZED THEY 
HAD ACHIEVED 
THEIR AMERICAN 
DREAM BECAUSE 
THE DAUGHTER OF 
TWO BLUE-COLLAR 
IMMIGRANTS WOULD 
MAKE HISTORY AND 
GIVE VOICE TO 
PEOPLE JUST LIKE 
THEM. 
AMERICAN WORKERS 
NEED A FIRE NOW 
MORE THAN EVER. 
AND JOE BIDEN IS 
THAT PERSON 
BECAUSE HE HAS 
DONE IT BEFORE, 
AND I HAVE SEEN 
IT FIRSTHAND. 
HE AND PRESIDENT 
OBAMA MADE IT 
EASIER FOR HOME 
CARE WORKERS TO 
ORGANIZE. 
THEY EXTENDED 
OVERTIME PAY TO 
MORE THAN 4 
MILLION WORKERS. 
THEY SAY THE 
AUTOMOBILE 
INDUSTRY AND A 
WHOLE LOT OF 
GOOD UNION JOBS 
WITH IT. 
AND WHEN 
MILLIONS OF 
AMERICAN 
FAMILIES LOST 
THEIR HOMES, MY 
FRIEND FROM 
CALIFORNIA, 
SENATOR KAMALA 
HARRIS TOOK ON 
THE BIG BANKS 
AND ONE. 
BECAUSE OF 
DONALD TRUMP'S 
FAILURES, IT HAS 
LEFT US ONCE 
AGAIN TO RESCUE 
A SINKING 
ECONOMY. 
MILLIONS OF 
AMERICANS ARE 
OUT OF WORK, AND 
COMMUNITIES OF 
COLOR ARE THE 
HARDEST HIT. 
MILLIONS OF 
ESSENTIAL 
WORKERS ARE 
PUTTING THEIR 
LIVES AT RISK, 
WITH LITTLE 
PROTECTIONS, AND 
MILLIONS MORE 
ARE JUST PLAIN 
TIRED. 
THAT IS WHY JOE 
BIDEN AND KAMALA 
HARRIS ACTUALLY 
HAVE A PLAN, NOT 
ONLY TO RECOVER 
WHAT WE LOST, 
BUT TO IMPROVE 
UPON IT, TO 
BUILD BACK 
BETTER. 
CREATING 5 
MILLION GOOD 
UNION JOBS BY 
BRINGING BACK 
SUPPLY CHAINS TO 
AMERICA, THAT IS 
BUILDING BACK 
BETTER. 
CREATING 
MILLIONS OF JOBS 
BY INVESTING IN 
CLEAN ENERGY, 
THAT'S BUILDING 
BACK BETTER. 
AND MAKING SURE 
THAT WORKING 
FAMILIES CAN 
AFFORD 
CHILDCARE, THAT 
IS HOW WE BUILD 
BACK BETTER. 
LET ME BORROW 
AND SLIGHTLY 
EDIT SOMETHING 
JOE BIDEN SAID 
AT MY SWEARING 
IN. 
WHEN IT COMES TO 
EXPANDING THE 
ECONOMY, WE ARE 
ALL PEOPLE. 
NO ONE, NO ONE 
IS GOING TO BE A 
STRONGER VOICE 
THAN OUR NEXT 
PRESIDENT, JOE 
BIDEN. 
THE CONVERSATION 
YOU ARE ABOUT TO 
SEE PROVES IT. 
>> BEHIND EVERY 
BUSINESS, THERE 
IS A STORY. 
>> SMALL 
BUSINESSES 
AROUND THE 
COUNTRY ARE 
BEARING THE 
ECONOMIC BRUNT 
OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
PANDEMIC. 
>> BEHIND EVERY 
BUSINESS OF THE 
FAMILY. 
>> A LOT OF 
PEOPLE, CLEARLY 
ARE IN PAIN 
RIGHT NOW. 
>> FOR EVERY 
FARM, THERE'S A 
FIGHT TO SAVE 
IT. 
>> THERE'S HARD 
WORK AND THERE'S 
HEARTBREAK. 
>> WE ARE GOING 
TO LOSE 20 TO 
30% OF OUR SMALL 
BUSINESSES. 
>> THIS IS THE 
STORY OF KEVIN 
AND MOLLY 
JOHNSON, THE 
FAMILY OWNED 
BUSINESS IN LAKE 
COUNTY, OHIO. 
>> WE HAVE 10 TO 
12 EMPLOYEES ON 
A GIVEN DAY. 
WHEN COVID-19 
HIT,  IT WAS A 
LOT OF CONFUSION.
>> I REMEMBER 
BEING SCARED AND 
BEING UNCERTAIN. 
>> WE SHUT DOWN 
LAST WEEK 
BECAUSE WE RAN 
OUT OF WORK, AND 
WE HAD ENOUGH TO 
COME IN FOR 
ANOTHER WEEK. 
IF WE DON'T GET 
ADDITIONAL 
ORDERS IN, WE 
WILL HAVE TO 
LOOK AT ANOTHER 
SHOTGUN. 
>> YOU CAN'T 
MAKE A BIG 
PURCHASE, 
EQUIPMENT, YOU 
CAN'T PLAN FOR 
THAT. 
>> WHEN THIS 
ISN'T GOING 
WELL, IT IS 
SCARY. 
>> YOU ARE KIND 
OF FORGOTTEN, 
THE PRESIDENT 
ALWAYS BRAGGING 
ABOUT THE STOCK 
MARKET LEAVES A 
LOT OF 
MANUFACTURING 
COMPANIES 
BEHIND. 
>> WE COULD USE 
A LITTLE HELP 
RIGHT NOW, AND 
IT SEEMS LIKE WE 
GET ONE STEP 
FORWARD AND THEN 
TWO STEPS BACK. 
>> THIS IS THE 
STORY OF 
JERMAINE GREEN. 
HE STARTED A 
CLOTHING STORE 
AND THEN CODED 
HIT. 
>> THAT HAPPENED 
TO BOTH OF MINE 
FOR MY KIDS. 
I WORKED REALLY 
HARD TO SAVE 
MONEY TO OPEN 
THIS STORE. 
DID MY RIBBON-
CUTTING DECEMBER 
14th OF 2019, 
AND THEN BAM, 
HERE'S COALBED. 
IT WAS SCARY. 
NO ONE WOULD 
SIGN ANYTHING. 
MY EMPLOYEES, 
THEY ARE GONE. 
I TALKED TO MY 
BANK BUT THEY 
STATED THEY HAD 
NO MORE MONEY, 
BECAUSE A LOT OF 
BIGGER 
BUSINESSES, THE 
MILLION-DOLLAR 
BUSINESSES WHO 
GET THE BAIL 
OUT, AND A SMALL 
BUSINESS LIKE 
MYSELF IS LEFT 
TO STRUGGLE. 
BEING AN AFRICAN-
AMERICAN FEMALE 
BUSINESS OWNER 
UNDER PRESIDENT 
TRUMP, I FEEL, 
HOW CAN I SAY IT
, I'M ALONE. 
I'M ALONE. 
>> THIS IS THE 
STORY OF LYNN 
THOMAS AND HER 
TWO RESTAURANTS. 
ONE CLOSED, AND 
ONE STILL OPEN. 
>> IT'S ALWAYS 
REALLY HARD FOR 
RESTAURANTS TO 
BEGIN. 
IT WOULD BE 
CROWDED IN HERE 
WITH BABIES AND 
FAMILIES AND 
CROWDS OUTSIDE, 
WAITING TO GET 
IN. 
IT WAS PRETTY 
EXCITING AND ON 
THE DAY OF THE 
SHOTGUN, WE WERE 
REVIEWED IN THE 
LOS ANGELES 
TIMES ON THAT 
DAY. 
THE VIRUS WAS 
ANNOUNCED AND A 
GLOBAL PANDEMIC. 
>> IT'S SAD TO 
SEE. 
IF YOU DON'T 
TURN THIS 
AROUND, YOU WILL 
SEE IT'S NOT JUST
-- 
>> THE FIRST 
DECISION I HAD 
TO MAKE BECAUSE 
100 PEOPLE ARE 
LOOKING AT YOU, 
AND 
UNFORTUNATELY, 
THE CALL WAS TO 
FURLOUGH 
EVERYBODY. 
AT THIS POINT, I 
DON'T EVEN SEE 
MYSELF IN 
BUSINESS NEXT 
MONTH. 
>> [ SPEAKING IN 
FOREIGN LANGUAGE 
] WE DON'T ASK 
FOR MUCH FROM 
THE GOVERNMENT. 
I KNOW THAT IT 
MUST FEEL LIKE 
YOU ARE FALLING 
RIGHT NOW. 
>> RESTAURANTS 
ARE AMONG THE 
HARDEST 
BUSINESSES TO 
SUCCEED AT. 
I WAS GOING TO 
DO IT IN A WAY 
THAT WOULD 
PROVIDE A 
SUCCESSFUL 
CAREER FOR NOT 
ONLY MYSELF, BUT 
100 EMPLOYEES. 
>> THIS IS THE 
STORY OF DAN 
REINER. 
HE'S A FIFTH-
GENERATION 
FARMER, 
STRUGGLING TO 
KEEP HIS 
BUSINESS ALIVE. 
>> I'M NOT SO 
SURE THE 
PRESIDENT 
UNDERSTANDS THAT 
WHEN HE THINKS 
ABOUT BUSINESS, 
I DO THINK HE 
THINKS ABOUT 
FARMERS AS A 
BUSINESS. 
>> NO, HE HAS NO 
CLUE ABOUT THE 
STUFF. 
>> TELL ME A 
LITTLE BIT ABOUT 
THE FARM. 
>> WE'VE BEEN 
HERE SINCE 1854. 
TRADE TARIFFS 
WITH CHINA HAVE 
BEEN HORRIBLE. 
PART OF THE 
LANGUAGE IN THE 
TRADE DEAL SAID 
THAT CHINA DOES 
NOT HAVE TO BUY 
UNLESS THE PRICE 
IS TO THEIR 
ADVANTAGE. 
WHAT KIND OF 
TRADE DEAL IS 
THAT? 
THAT'S NO DEAL. 
AND THEN WHEN 
COVID HIT, 
EVERYTHING 
PLUMMETED. 
GETTING THROUGH 
NOW, THAT IS THE 
PROBLEM. 
THAT'S THE DAY 
TO DAY BATTLE. 
>> I BELIEVE 
THAT JOE BIDEN 
WILL BE A CLEAR 
VOICE FOR US, 
SOMETHING WE 
HAVE NOT HAD. 
>> JOE BIDEN HAS 
AN UNDERSTANDING 
OF WHAT THE 
AVERAGE AMERICAN 
IS GOING THROUGH.
>> ENOUGH IS 
ENOUGH, IT'S 
TIME TO HELP 
SMALL BUSINESSES.
HELP THESE FOLKS 
MANAGE THEIR WAY 
THROUGH A 
PANDEMIC. 
>> I HAVE A LOT 
OF CONFIDENCE IN 
JOE BIDEN. 
HE'S A FIGHTER, 
HE'S THE REAL 
DEAL. 
>> WE'VE TAKEN A 
LOT OF 
KNOCKDOWNS, AND 
WE KNOW AT THE 
END OF THE DAY, 
WE WILL ENDURE. 
>> EVERY TIME I 
GET KNOCKED OUT, 
I HAVE TO GET UP 
AND KEEP 
RUNNING, KEEP 
GOING, KEEP 
GOING. 
>> TONIGHT, WE 
HEARD FROM 
PEOPLE WHO MAKE 
AMERICA WORK. 
PEOPLE WHO PUT 
THEIR LIVES ON 
THE LINE TO KEEP 
OUR COUNTRY 
GOING AND SINCE 
COVID-19 HIT, 
THEY HAVE TAKEN 
ONE GUT PUNCH 
AFTER ANOTHER.  
AND WHAT HAS THE 
COVERED FALLOUT 
DONE TO OUR 
BABIES? 
THE EARLY 
CHILDHOOD 
EDUCATION CENTER 
HERE IN 
SPRINGFIELD, 
MASSACHUSETTS, 
WHICH HAS BEEN 
CLOSED FOR 
MONTHS. 
CHILDCARE WAS 
ALREADY HARD TO 
FIND BEFORE THE 
PANDEMIC, AND 
NOW, PARENTS ARE 
STUCK. 
NO IDEA WHEN 
SCHOOLS CAN 
SAFELY REOPEN, 
AND EVEN FEWER 
CHILDCARE 
OPTIONS. 
THE DEVASTATION 
IS ENORMOUS. 
THE WAY I SEE IT,
BIG PROBLEMS 
DEMAND BIG 
SOLUTIONS. 
NOW, I LOVE A 
GOOD PLAN. 
JOE BIDEN HAS 
SOME REALLY GOOD 
PLANS. 
PLANS TO BRING 
BACK UNION JOBS 
AND 
MANUFACTURING 
AND CREATE NEW 
UNION JOBS AND 
CLEAN ENERGY. 
PLANS TO 
INCREASE SOCIAL 
SECURITY 
BENEFITS, CANCEL 
BILLIONS IN 
STUDENT LOAN 
DEBT, AND MAKE 
OUR BANKRUPTCY 
LAWS WORK FOR 
FAMILIES INSTEAD 
OF THE PREDATORS 
WHO CHEAT THEM. 
THESE PLANS 
REFLECT A 
CENTRAL TRUTH. 
OUR ECONOMIC 
SYSTEM HAS BEEN 
RATED TO GIVE 
BAILOUTS TO 
BILLIONAIRES, 
AND KICK DIRT IN 
THE FACE OF 
EVERYONE ELSE. 
BUT WE CAN BUILD 
A THRIVING 
ECONOMY BY 
INVESTING IN 
FAMILIES AND 
FIXING WHAT'S 
BROKEN. 
JOE'S PLAN TO 
BUILD BACK 
BETTER INCLUDES 
MAKING THE 
WEALTHY PAY 
THEIR FAIR 
SHARE. 
IT WILL HOLD 
CORPORATIONS 
ACCOUNTABLE, 
REPAIR RACIAL 
INEQUITIES, AND 
FIGHT CORRUPTION 
IN WASHINGTON. 
LET ME TELL YOU 
ABOUT ONE OF 
JOE'S PLANS THAT 
IS ESPECIALLY 
CLOSE TO MY 
HEART, 
CHILDCARE. 
AS A LITTLE GIRL 
GROWING UP IN 
OKLAHOMA, WHAT I 
WANTED MOST IN 
THE WORLD WAS TO 
BE A TEACHER. 
I LOVED TEACHING.
AND WHEN I HAD 
BABIES AND WITH 
JUGGLING MY 
FIRST BIG 
TEACHING JOB 
DOWN IN TEXAS, 
IT WAS HARD. 
BUT I COULD DO 
HARD. 
THE THING THAT 
ALMOST SANK ME? 
CHILDCARE. 
ONE NIGHT, MY 
AUNT BE CALLED 
JUST TO CHECK 
IN, AND I 
THOUGHT I WAS 
FINE. 
BUT THEN, I 
BROKE DOWN AND 
STARTED TO CRY. 
I HAD TRIED 
HOLDING IT 
ALTOGETHER, BUT 
WITHOUT RELIABLE 
CHILDCARE, 
WORKING WAS 
NEARLY 
IMPOSSIBLE. 
AND WHEN I TOLD 
AND BE A I WAS 
GOING TO QUIT MY 
JOB, I THOUGHT 
MY HEART WOULD 
BREAK. 
AND THEN SHE 
SAID THE WORDS 
THAT CHANGED MY 
LIFE. 
I CAN'T GET 
THERE TOMORROW, 
BUT I WILL COME 
ON THURSDAY. 
SHE ARRIVED WITH 
SEVEN FOOD CASES 
AND THEY TAKEN 
THESE NAMED 
BUDDY AND STAYED 
FOR 16 YEARS. 
I GET TO BE HERE 
TONIGHT BECAUSE 
OF MY AUNT BE. 
I LEARNED A 
FUNDAMENTAL 
TRUTH. 
NOBODY MAKES IT 
ON THEIR OWN. 
AND YET, HERE WE 
ARE, TWO 
GENERATIONS OF 
WORKING PARENTS 
LATER, AND IF 
YOU HAVE A BABY 
AND DON'T HAVE A 
AUNT BEA, YOU 
ARE ON YOUR OWN. 
HERE IS WHY 
THAT'S WRONG.  
WE BUILD 
INFRASTRUCTURE 
LIKE ROADS AND 
BRIDGES AND 
COMMUNICATION 
SYSTEMS SO 
PEOPLE CAN WORK. 
THAT 
INFRASTRUCTURE 
HELPS US ALL 
BECAUSE IT KEEPS 
OUR ECONOMY 
GOING. 
IT'S TIME TO 
RECOGNIZE THAT 
CHILDCARE IS 
PART OF THE 
BASIC 
INFRASTRUCTURE 
OF THIS NATION, 
IT'S 
INFRASTRUCTURE 
FOR FAMILIES. 
JOE AND, LO WILL 
MAKE HIGH-
QUALITY CHILD 
CARE AFFORDABLE 
FOR EVERY FAMILY.
THEY WILL MAKE 
PRESCHOOL 
UNIVERSAL AND 
RAISE THE WAGES 
OF EVERY 
CHILDCARE WORKER.
NOW, THAT'S JUST 
ONE PLAN, THAT 
GIVES YOU AN 
IDEA OF HOW WE 
GET THIS COUNTRY 
WORKING FOR 
EVERYONE. 
DONALD TRUMP'S 
IGNORANCE AND 
INCOMPETENCE 
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN 
A DANGER TO OUR 
COUNTRY. 
COVID-19 WAS 
TRUMP'S'S 
BIGGEST TEST, HE 
FAILED MISERABLY.
TODAY, AMERICA 
HAS THE MOST 
COVID DEATHS IN 
THE WORLD, AND 
AN ECONOMIC 
COLLAPSE. 
AND BOTH CRISES 
ARE FALLING 
HARDEST ON BLACK 
AND BROWN 
FAMILIES. 
MILLIONS OUT OF 
WORK, MILLIONS 
MORE TRAPPED IN 
CYCLES OF 
POVERTY, 
MILLIONS ON THE 
BRINK OF LOSING 
THEIR HOMES, 
MILLIONS OF 
RESTAURANTS AND 
STORES HANGING 
BY A THREAD. 
THIS CRISIS IS 
BAD. 
IT DID NOT HAVE 
TO BE THIS WAY. 
THIS CRISIS IS ON
DONALD TRUMP AND 
THE REPUBLICANS 
WHO ENABLED HIM. 
ON NOVEMBER 3rd, 
WE WILL HOLD 
THEM ALL 
ACCOUNTABLE. 
SO, WHETHER YOU 
ARE PLANNING TO 
VOTE WEARING A 
MASK OR VOTE BY 
MAIL, PLEASE 
TAKE OUT YOUR 
PHONE, RIGHT 
NOW, AND TEXT 
VOTE TO 30330. 
WE ALL NEED TO 
BE IN THE FIGHT 
TO GET JOE AND, 
LIKE ELECTED, 
AND AFTER 
NOVEMBER, WE ALL 
NEED TO STAY IN 
THE FIGHT TO GET 
BIG THINGS DONE. 
WE STAY IN THIS 
FIGHT SO WHEN 
OUR CHILDREN AND 
OUR GRANDCHILDREN
ASK WHAT WE DID 
DURING THIS DARK 
CHAPTER IN OUR 
NATION'S HISTORY,
WE WILL BE ABLE 
TO LOOK THEM 
SQUARELY IN THE 
EYE AND SAY WE 
ORGANIZED, WE 
PERSISTED, AND 
WE CHANGED 
AMERICA. 
>> SENATOR 
ELIZABETH 
WARREN, SPEAKING 
TONIGHT FROM 
SPRINGFIELD, 
MASSACHUSETTS. 
SENIOR BUSINESS 
CORRESPONDENT 
STEPHANIE RUHLE 
AND NOW TO TALK 
ABOUT WHAT WE'VE 
HEARD FROM 
SENATOR WARREN. 
SHE LEAVES AN 
IMPORTANT 
CONSTITUENCY, 
STEPHANIE? 
>> Reporter: 
WITHOUT A DOUBT, 
LESTER. 
EVERY YEAR, WE 
KNOW PEOPLE VOTE 
WITH THEIR 
WALLETS IN ANY 
ELECTION BUT 
RIGHT NOW, 
SENATOR WARREN 
LAID OUT FOR 
YOU. 
THE ENORMOUS 
CHANGES WE CAN 
SEE TO OUR 
ECONOMY SINCE 
COVID-19 HAD 
HAVE  DEEPENED 
THE ECONOMIC 
DIVIDE. 
SHE LAID IT OUT, 
30 MILLION 
AMERICANS THAT 
ARE CURRENTLY 
UNEMPLOYED. 
30,000 AND 
COUNTING SMALL 
BUSINESSES HAVE 
SHUT FOR GOOD 
WHILE AT THE 
VERY SAME TIME, 
THE S&P 500, THE 
STOCK MARKET IS 
HEADING RECORD 
HIGHS. 
JUST THINK ABOUT 
THIS. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
REGULARLY ARGUES 
THAT THE STOCK 
MARKET IS A 
REFLECTION OF 
THE OVERALL 
ECONOMY. 
WE KNOW THAT'S 
NOT THE CASE. 
HOWEVER, WHETHER 
OR NOT JOE BIDEN 
CAN CONVINCE THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE 
THAT HIS PLAN TO 
BUILD BACK BETTER
, STRONGER, 
SMARTER, MORE 
INCLUSIVE, CAN 
HE CONVINCE 
AMERICA HE CAN 
BUILD IT BACK 
BETTER, THAT 
REMAINS TO BE 
SEEN, EVEN WITH 
EVERYTHING 
SENATOR WARREN 
LAID OUT, 
RESIDENT TRUMP 
CONTINUES TO 
PULL BETTER ON 
ECONOMIC ISSUES. 
>> STEPHANIE, 
THANKS. 
>> JOE BIDEN, 
WATCHING THE 
EVENTS PLANNED 
TONIGHT FROM 
DELAWARE. 
NBC 
CORRESPONDENT 
KRISTIN WALKER 
IS THERE FOR US. 
WE SEEN A 
DIFFERENCE, 
KRISTEN, THE 
FIRST COUPLE OF 
THAT, WE SELL 
REPUBLICAN 
VOICES, THERE 
SEEMS TO BE MORE 
OF AN EFFORT TO 
REACH OUT TO 
PERHAPS 
INDEPENDENT 
VOTERS BUT 
TONIGHT'S 
PROGRAMMING 
SEEMS FAR MORE 
GEARED TO THE 
BASE OF THE 
PARTY, THE LEFT 
OF THE PARTY. 
WHETHER IT'S 
ELIZABETH WARREN 
OR HILLARY 
CLINTON, SPEAKER 
PELOSI, AND OF 
COURSE, BARACK 
OBAMA, COMING UP.
>> Reporter: 
IT'S A REALLY 
IMPORTANT POINT. 
WE ARE HEARING 
FROM SO MANY 
PEOPLE IN THIS 
PARTY WHO HAVE 
MADE HISTORY. 
BARACK OBAMA, AS 
YOU MENTIONED, 
THE NATION'S 
FIRST AFRICAN-
AMERICAN 
PRESIDENT WHO'S 
GOING TO BE 
SPEAKING FROM 
PHILADELPHIA. 
THE BIRTHPLACE 
OF THE NATION'S 
DEMOCRACY, THE 
SYMBOLISM IS 
LOST ON NO ONE. 
HE WILL ARGUE 
THAT IT IS OUR 
VERY DEMOCRACY 
THAT IS AT STAKE 
WITH THIS 
ELECTION AS HE 
MAKES A VERY 
PERSONAL CASE 
FOR JOE BIDEN 
AND KAMALA 
HARRIS. 
AND AS HE 
DELIVERS HIS 
MOST SEARING 
INDICTMENT YET A 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
AND THEN, WE ARE 
GOING TO HEAR 
FROM SENATOR 
KAMALA HARRIS. 
SHE WILL DELIVER 
WHAT IS ARGUABLY 
THE MOST 
IMPORTANT SPEECH 
OF HER CAREER AS 
SHE HAS A 
HISTORY MAKING 
NIGHT, AS SHE 
BECOMES THE 
FIRST WOMAN OF 
COLOR TO RECEIVE 
HER PARTY'S 
NOMINATION FOR 
VICE PRESIDENT. 
I AM TOLD SHE IS 
GOING TO EMBRACE 
THAT HISTORY AND 
HOW SHE GOT 
HERE, THE FACT 
THAT HER PARENTS 
ARE IMMIGRANTS 
WHO CAME TO THIS 
COUNTRY AND 
FOUGHT WITH THE 
CIVIL RIGHTS 
MOVEMENT. 
AND THEN, SHE IS 
SOMEONE WHO 
SERVES AS THE 
ATTORNEY GENERAL 
OF CALIFORNIA, 
SHE'S GOING TO 
PROSECUTE THE 
CASE AGAINST 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
SHE WILL SAY IN 
ONE ACCEPT, 
DONALD TRUMP 
FAILURE OF 
LEADERSHIP HAS 
CAUSED LIVES AND 
LIVELIHOOD AND 
SHE WILL CALL IT 
AN INFLECTION 
POINT. 
>> ALL RIGHT 
KRISTEN, THANK 
YOU. 
>> ASSERTED NBC 
NEWS 
CORRESPONDENT 
PHILIP ALEXANDER 
WHERE BARACK 
OBAMA WILL BE 
SPEAKING MOMENTS 
FROM NOW. 
YOU'VE GOT A 
LITTLE BIT MORE 
FOR US ABOUT THE 
BITING CAMPAIGN 
STRATEGY FOR 
TAKING ON DONALD 
TRUMP, WHAT ARE 
YOU HEARING? 
>> Reporter: 
THAT'S EXACTLY 
RIGHT. 
WHAT I'M HEARING 
FROM JOE BIDEN, 
WE WILL HEAR 
FROM PRESIDENT 
OBAMA AS HE ASKS 
THE TWO THINK 
THE PRESIDENT IS 
REFUNDABLE FOR 
DOING, WHAT IS 
PROTECTING 
AMERICANS, MORE 
THAN 170,000 
HAVE DIED IN 
THIS PANDEMIC, 
DESCRIBING HIM 
AS A FAILURE IN 
HIS REMARKS 
TONIGHT. 
ALSO TALKING 
ABOUT THE 
PRESIDENT'S DUTY 
TO BE A 
CUSTODIAN OF 
DEMOCRACY, 
HOPEFULLY TO 
HANDED OVER IN 
BETTER SHAPE 
THAN YOU 
RECEIVED IT. 
THERE WILL BE 
SOME BLISTERING 
STATEMENTS FROM 
PRESIDENT OBAMA 
TONIGHT AMONG 
OTHER THINGS, 
SAYING PRESIDENT 
TRUMP HAS SHOWN 
NO INTEREST IN 
TREATING THIS 
PRESIDENCY IS 
ANYTHING OTHER 
THAN A REALITY 
SHOW TO GET THE 
ATTENTION HE SO 
BADLY CRAVES, 
LESTER. 
>> BARACK OBAMA, 
WHO FIRST CAME 
TO FAME IN A 
CONVENTION 
SPEECH IN 2000 
FOR A LIFETIME 
AGO, NOW RETIRED 
TWO-TERM 
PRESIDENT MAKING 
THE CASE FOR HIS 
VICE PRESIDENT 
AND WE WILL 
LISTEN TO THAT 
SPEECH AS HE 
GETS UNDERWAY 
FROM 
PHILADELPHIA. 
>> AS YOU SEEN 
BY NOW, THIS 
ISN'T A NORMAL 
CONVENTION. 
IT'S NOT A 
NORMAL TIME. 
TONIGHT, I WANT 
TO TALK AS 
PLAINLY AS I CAN 
ABOUT THE STAKES 
IN THIS ELECTION.
BECAUSE WHAT WE 
DO IN THESE NEXT 
76 DAYS WILL 
ECHO THROUGH 
GENERATIONS TO 
COME. 
I'M IN 
PHILADELPHIA, 
WHERE OUR 
CONSTITUTION WAS 
DRAFTED AND 
SIGNED. 
IT WASN'T A 
PERFECT DOCUMENT.
IT ALLOWED FOR 
THE INHUMANITY 
OF SLAVERY. 
IT FAILED TO 
GUARANTEE WOMEN 
AND EVEN MEN WHO 
DID NOT OWN 
PROPERTY, THE 
RIGHT TO 
PARTICIPATE IN 
THE POLITICAL 
PROCESS. 
BUT EMBEDDED IN 
THIS DOCUMENT WAS
A NORTH STAR 
THAT WOULD GUIDE 
FUTURE 
GENERATIONS. 
A SYSTEM OF 
REPRESENTATIVE 
GOVERNMENT, A 
DEMOCRACY TO 
WHICH WE COULD 
BETTER REALIZE 
OUR HIGHEST 
IDEALS. 
THROUGH CIVIL 
WAR, AND BITTER 
STRUGGLES, WE 
IMPROVED THIS 
CONSTITUTION. 
WE INCLUDED THE 
VOICES OF THOSE 
WHO HAD ONCE 
BEEN LEFT OUT. 
AND GRADUALLY, 
WE MADE THIS 
COUNTRY MORE 
JUST. 
AND MORE EQUAL. 
AND MORE FREE. 
THE ONE 
CONSTITUTIONAL 
OFFICE ELECTED 
BY ALL OF THE 
PEOPLE IS THE 
PRESIDENCY. 
AT THE MINIMUM, 
WE SHOULD EXPECT 
THE PRESIDENT TO 
FEEL A SENSE OF 
RESPONSIBILITY 
FOR THE SAFETY 
AND WELFARE OF 
ALL 330 MILLION 
OF US. 
REGARDLESS OF 
WHAT WE LOOK 
LIKE, HOW WE 
WORSHIP, WHO WE 
LOVE, HOW MUCH 
MONEY WE HAVE, 
OR WHO WE VOTED 
FOR. 
WE SHOULD ALSO 
EXPECT THE 
PRESIDENT TO BE 
THE CUSTODIAN OF 
THIS DEMOCRACY. 
WE SHOULD EXPECT 
THAT REGARDLESS 
OF EGO, 
AMBITION, OR 
POLITICAL 
BELIEFS, THE 
PRESIDENT WILL 
PRESERVE, 
PROTECT, AND 
DEFEND THE 
FREEDOMS AND 
IDEALS THAT SO 
MANY AMERICANS 
MARCHED FOR. 
WENT TO JAIL FOR.
FOUGHT FOR, AND 
DIED FOR. 
I HAVE SAT IN 
THE OVAL OFFICE 
WITH BOTH OF THE 
MEN WHO ARE 
RUNNING FOR 
PRESIDENT. 
I NEVER EXPECTED 
THAT MY 
SUCCESSOR WOULD 
EMBRACE MY 
VISION. 
OR CONTINUE MY 
POLICIES. 
I DID HOPE, FOR 
THE SAKE OF OUR 
COUNTRY, THAT 
DONALD TRUMP 
MIGHT SHOW SOME 
INTEREST IN 
TAKING THE JOB 
SERIOUSLY. 
THAT HE MIGHT 
COME TO FEEL THE 
WEIGHT OF THE 
OFFICE, AND 
DISCOVER SOME 
REVERENCE FOR THE
DEMOCRACY THAT 
HAS BEEN PLACED 
IN HIS CARE. 
BUT HE NEVER DID.
FOR CLOSE TO 
FOUR YEARS NOW, 
HE HAS SHOWN NO 
INTEREST IN 
PUTTING IN THE 
WORK. 
NO INTEREST IN 
FINDING COMMON 
GROUND, NO 
INTEREST IN 
USING THE 
AWESOME POWER OF 
HIS OFFICE TO 
HELP ANYONE BUT 
HIMSELF AND HIS 
FRIENDS. 
NO INTEREST IN 
TREATING THE 
PRESIDENCY AS 
ANYTHING THEN 
ONE MORE REALITY 
SHOW THAT HE CAN 
USE TO GET THE 
ATTENTION HE 
CRAVES. 
DONALD TRUMP 
HASN'T GROWN 
INTO THE JOB 
BECAUSE HE CAN'T.
THE CONSEQUENCES 
OF THAT FAILURE 
ARE SEVERE. 
170,000 AMERICANS
DEAD. 
MILLIONS OF 
JOBS, GONE. 
THOSE AT THE TOP 
ARE TAKING MORE 
THAN EVER. 
OUR WORST 
IMPULSES 
UNLEASHED, A 
PROUD REPUTATION 
AROUND THE 
WORLD, BADLY 
DIMINISHED, AND 
OUR DEMOCRATIC 
INSTITUTIONS 
THREATENED LIKE 
NEVER BEFORE. 
NOW, I KNOW THAT 
IN TIMES AS 
POLARIZING AS 
THESE, MOST OF 
YOU HAVE ALREADY 
MADE UP YOUR 
MIND. 
BUT MAYBE, YOU 
ARE STILL NOT 
SURE WHICH 
CANDIDATE YOU 
WILL VOTE FOR. 
OR, WHETHER YOU 
WILL VOTE AT ALL.
MAYBE YOU ARE 
TIRED OF THE 
DIRECTION WE ARE 
HEADED, BUT YOU 
CAN'T FEED THAT 
PASS YET OR YOU 
JUST DON'T KNOW 
ENOUGH ABOUT THE 
PERSON WHO WANTS 
TO LEAD US THERE.
LET ME TELL YOU 
ABOUT MY FRIEND, 
JOE BIDEN. 
12 YEARS AGO 
WHEN I BEGAN MY 
SEARCH FOR A 
VICE PRESIDENT, 
I DID NOT KNOW I 
WOULD END UP 
FINDING A 
BROTHER. 
JOE AND I COME 
FROM DIFFERENT 
PLACES, 
DIFFERENT 
GENERATIONS, BUT 
WHEN I QUICKLY 
CAME TO ADMIRE 
ABOUT JOE BIDEN 
AS HIS 
RESILIENCE, BORN 
OF TOO MUCH 
STRUGGLE. 
HIS EMPATHY, 
BORN OF TOO MUCH 
GRIEF. 
JOE IS A MAN WHO 
LEARNED, EARLY 
ON, TO TREAT 
EVERY PERSON HE 
MEETS WITH 
RESPECT AND 
DIGNITY, LIVING 
BY THE WORDS HIS 
PARENTS TAUGHT 
HIM. 
NO BETTER JOE, 
YOU ARE BETTER 
THAN NO BUDDY. 
THAT EMPATHY, 
THAT DECENCY, 
THE BELIEF THAT 
EVERYBODY COUNTS,
THAT IS WHO JOE 
IS. 
WHEN HE TALKS 
WITH SOMEONE WHO 
HAS LOST THEIR 
JOB, JOE 
REMEMBERS THE 
NIGHT HIS FATHER 
SAT HIM DOWN TO 
SAY HE HAD LOST 
HIS. 
WHEN JOE LISTENS 
TO A PARENT 
WHO'S TRYING TO 
HOLD IT ALL 
TOGETHER RIGHT 
NOW, HE DOES IT 
AS A SINGLE DAD 
WHO TOOK THE 
TRAIN BACK TO 
WILMINGTON EACH 
AND EVERY NIGHT 
SO HE COULD TALK 
HIS KIDS INTO 
BED. 
WHEN HE MEETS 
WITH MILITARY 
FAMILIES WHO 
HAVE LOST THEIR 
HEROES, HE DOES 
IT AS A KINDRED 
SPIRIT, A PARENT 
OF AN AMERICAN 
SOLDIER. 
SOMEBODY WHOSE 
FAITH HAS ENDURED
THE HARDEST LOSS 
THERE IS. 
FOR EIGHT YEARS, 
JOE WAS THE LAST 
ONE IN THE ROOM 
WHENEVER I HAD 
TO MAKE A BIG 
DECISION. 
HE MADE ME A 
BETTER 
PRESIDENT, AND 
HE'S GOT THE 
CHARACTER AND 
THE EXPERIENCE 
TO MAKE US A 
BETTER COUNTRY. 
AND MY FRIEND, 
KAMALA HARRIS, 
HE'S SHOWING AN 
IDEAL PARTNER 
WHO IS MORE THAN 
PREPARED FOR THE 
JOB. 
SOMEONE WHO 
KNOWS WHAT IT'S 
LIKE TO OVERCOME 
BARRIERS AND WHO 
HAS MADE A 
CAREER FIGHTING 
TO HELP OTHERS 
LIVE OUT THEIR 
OWN AMERICAN 
DREAM. 
ALONG WITH THE 
EXPERIENCE 
NEEDED TO GET 
THINGS DONE, JO 
ANN, WILL HAVE 
CONCRETE 
POLICIES THAT 
WILL TURN THEIR 
VISION OF A 
BETTER, FAIRER, 
STRONGER COUNTRY 
INTO REALITY. 
THEY WILL GET 
THIS PANDEMIC 
UNDER CONTROL, 
LIKE JOE DID 
WHEN HE HELP ME 
MANAGE H1 N1, 
AND PREVENT 
UNABLE OUTBREAK 
FROM REACHING 
OUR SHORES. 
THEY WILL EXPAND 
HEALTH CARE TO 
MORE AMERICANS 
LIKE JOE AND I 
DID 10 YEARS AGO.
WHEN HE HELPED 
CRAFT THE 
AFFORDABLE CARE 
ACT AND NAILED 
DOWN THE VOTES 
TO MAKE IT A LOT.
HE WILL RESCUE 
THE ECONOMY, 
LIKE JOE HELPED 
ME DO AFTER THE 
GREAT RECESSION. 
I ASKED HIM TO 
MANAGE THE 
RECOVERY ACT, 
WHICH JUMP 
STARTED THE 
LONGER STRETCH OF
JOB GROWTH IN 
HISTORY. 
HE SEES HIS 
MOMENT NOW NOT 
AS A CHANCE TO 
GET BACK TO 
WHERE WE WERE, 
BUT TO MAKE LONG 
OVERDUE CHANGES 
SO THAT OUR 
ECONOMY ACTUALLY 
MAKES LIFE A 
LITTLE EASIER 
FOR EVERYBODY. 
WHETHER IT'S THE 
WAITRESS TRYING 
TO RAISE A KID 
ON HER OWN, OR 
THE SHIFT WORKER 
ALWAYS ON THE 
EDGE OF GETTING 
LAID OFF, OR THE 
STUDENT, 
FIGURING OUT HOW 
TO PAY FOR NEXT 
SEMESTER'S 
CLASSES. 
JOE AND, LO WILL 
RESTORE OUR 
STANDING IN THE 
WORLD. 
AS WE HAVE 
LEARNED FROM 
THIS PANDEMIC, 
THAT MATTERS. 
JOE KNOWS THE 
WORLD, AND THE 
WORLD KNOWS HIM. 
HE KNOWS THAT 
OUR TRUE 
STRENGTH COMES 
FROM SETTING AN 
EXAMPLE THAT THE 
WORLD WANTS TO 
FOLLOW. 
A NATION THAT IS 
STANDING WITH 
DEMOCRACY, NOT 
DICTATORS. 
A NATION THAT 
CAN INSPIRE AND 
MOBILIZE OTHERS 
TO OVERCOME 
THREATS LIKE 
CLIMATE CHANGE 
AND TERRORISM, 
POVERTY AND 
DISEASE. 
BUT MORE THAN 
ANYTHING, WHAT I 
KNOW ABOUT JOE, 
WHAT I KNOW 
ABOUT, LOVE, IS 
THAT THEY 
ACTUALLY CARE 
ABOUT EVERY 
AMERICAN. 
AND THAT THEY 
CARE DEEPLY 
ABOUT THIS 
DEMOCRACY. 
THEY BELIEVE 
THAT IN A 
DEMOCRACY, THE 
RIGHT TO VOTE IS 
SACRED, AND WE 
SHOULD BE MAKING 
IT EASIER FOR 
PEOPLE TO CAST 
THEIR BALLOTS, 
NOT HARDER. 
THEY BELIEVE THAT
NO ONE, 
INCLUDING THE 
PRESIDENT, IS 
ABOVE THE LAW. 
AND THAT NO 
PUBLIC OFFICIAL, 
INCLUDING THE 
PRESIDENT, 
SHOULD USE THEIR 
OFFICE TO ENRICH 
THEMSELVES OR 
THEIR SUPPORTERS.
THEY UNDERSTAND 
THAT IN THIS 
DEMOCRACY, THE 
COMMANDER IN 
CHIEF DOES NOT 
USE THE MEN AND 
WOMEN OF OUR 
MILITARY WHO ARE 
WILLING TO RISK 
EVERYTHING TO 
PROTECT OUR 
NATION AS 
POLITICAL PROPS 
TO DEPLOY AGAINST
PEACEFUL 
PROTESTERS ON 
OUR OWN SOIL. 
THEY UNDERSTAND 
THE POLITICAL 
OPPONENTS AREN'T 
UN-AMERICAN JUST 
BECAUSE THEY 
DISAGREE WITH 
YOU. 
A FREE PRESS 
ISN'T THE ENEMY. 
BUT THE WAY WE 
HOLD OFFICIALS 
ACCOUNTABLE. 
OUR ABILITY TO 
WORK TOGETHER TO 
SOLVE BIG 
PROBLEMS LIKE A 
PANDEMIC DEPEND 
ON A FIDELITY OF 
FACTS AND 
SCIENCE AND 
LOGIC, AND NOT 
JUST MAKING 
STUFF UP. 
NONE OF THIS 
SHOULD BE 
CONTROVERSIAL. 
THESE SHOULD NOT 
BE REPUBLICAN 
PRINCIPLES OR 
DEMOCRATIC 
PRINCIPLES, THEY 
ARE AMERICAN 
PRINCIPLES. 
AT THIS MOMENT, 
THIS PRESIDENT 
AND THOSE WHO 
ENABLE HIM HAVE 
SHOWN THEY DON'T 
BELIEVE IN THESE 
THINGS. 
TONIGHT, I'M 
ASKING YOU TO 
BELIEVE IN JOE 
AND, LOVE'S 
ABILITY TO LEAD 
THIS COUNTRY OUT 
OF THESE DARK 
TIMES AND BUILD 
IT BACK BETTER. 
HERE IS THE 
THING. 
NO SINGLE 
AMERICAN CAN FIX 
THIS COUNTRY 
ALONE. 
NOT EVEN A 
PRESIDENT. 
DEMOCRACY WAS 
NEVER MEANT TO 
BE 
TRANSACTIONAL. 
YOU GIVE ME YOUR 
VOTE, I MAKE 
EVERYTHING 
BETTER. 
IT REQUIRES AN 
ACTIVE AND 
INFORMED 
CITIZENRY. 
I'M ALSO ASKING 
YOU TO BELIEVE 
IN YOUR OWN 
ABILITY, TO 
EMBRACE YOUR OWN 
RESPONSIBILITY 
AS A CITIZEN. 
TO MAKE SURE 
THAT THE BASIC 
TENANTS OF OUR 
DEMOCRACY 
ENDURE. 
BECAUSE THAT'S 
WHAT IS AT STAKE 
RIGHT NOW. 
OUR DEMOCRACY. 
LOOK, I 
UNDERSTAND WHY A 
LOT OF AMERICANS 
ARE DOWN ON 
GOVERNMENT. 
THE WAY THE 
RULES HAVE BEEN 
SET UP, AND 
ABUSED IN 
CONGRESS MAKE IT 
EASIER FOR 
SPECIAL 
INTERESTS TO 
STOP PROGRESS 
THAN TO MAKE 
PROGRESS. 
BELIEVE ME, I 
KNOW IT. 
I UNDERSTAND WHY 
A WHITE FACTORY 
WORKER WHO HAS 
SEEN HIS WAGES 
CUT, OR HIS JOB 
SHIPPED 
OVERSEAS, MIGHT 
FEEL LIKE THE 
GOVERNMENT NO 
LONGER LOOKS OUT 
FOR HIM. 
AND WHY A BLACK 
MOM MIGHT FEEL 
LIKE IT NEVER 
LOOKED OUT FOR 
HER AT ALL. 
I UNDERSTAND WHY 
A NEW IMMIGRANT 
MIGHT LOOK 
AROUND THIS 
COUNTRY AND 
WONDER WHETHER 
THERE IS STILL A 
PLACE FOR HIM 
HERE. 
WHY A YOUNG 
PERSON MIGHT 
LOOK AT POLITICS 
RIGHT NOW, THE 
CIRCUS OF IT 
ALL, THE 
MEANNESS, AND 
THE LIES, AND 
CONSPIRACY 
THEORIES, AND 
SINK WHAT IS THE 
POINT? 
HERE IS THE 
POINT. 
THIS PRESIDENT, 
AND THOSE IN 
POWER, THOSE WHO 
BENEFIT FROM 
KEEPING THINGS 
THE WAY THEY 
ARE, THEY ARE 
COUNTING ON THEY 
KNOW THEY CAN'T 
WIN YOU OVER 
WITH THEIR 
POLICIES. 
SO THEY ARE 
HOPING TO MAKE 
IT AS HARD AS 
POSSIBLE FOR YOU 
TO VOTE, AND TO 
CONVINCE YOU 
THAT YOUR VOTE 
DOES NOT MATTER. 
THAT IS HOW THEY 
WIN. 
THAT IS HOW THEY 
GET TO KEEP 
MAKING DECISIONS 
THAT AFFECT YOUR 
LIFE, AND THE 
LIVES OF THE 
PEOPLE YOU LOVE. 
THAT'S HOW THE 
ECONOMY WILL KEEP
GETTING SKEWERED 
TOWARDS THE 
WEALTHY. 
HOW ARE HEALTH 
SYSTEMS WILL LET 
MORE PEOPLE FALL 
THROUGH THE 
CRACKS. 
THAT'S HOW A 
DEMOCRACY 
,
THAT BLACK LIVES 
MATTER. 
NO MORE, BUT NO 
LESS. 
NO CHILD IN THIS 
COUNTRY FEELS 
THE STING OF 
RACISM. 
TO THE YOUNG 
PEOPLE WHO LET 
US THE SUMMER 
TELLING US WE 
NEED TO BE 
BETTER, IN SO 
MANY WAYS, YOU 
ARE THIS 
COUNTRY'S DREAMS 
FULFILLED. 
EARLIER 
GENERATIONS HAD 
TO BE PERSUADED 
THAT EVERYONE 
HAS EQUAL WORDS. 
FOR YOU, IT'S A 
GIVEN. 
A CONVICTION. 
AND WHAT I WANT 
YOU TO KNOW IS 
THAT FOR ALL ITS 
MESSINESS, AND 
FRUSTRATIONS, 
YOUR SYSTEM OF 
SELF GOVERNMENT 
CAN BE HARNESSED 
TO HELP YOU 
REALIZE THOSE 
CONVICTIONS. 
YOU CAN GIVE OUR 
DEMOCRACY NEW 
MEANING. 
YOU CAN TAKE IT 
TO A BETTER 
PLACE. 
YOU ARE THE 
MISSING 
INGREDIENT. 
THE ONES WHO 
WILL DECIDE 
WHETHER OR NOT 
AMERICA BECOMES 
THE COUNTRY THAT 
FULLY LIVES UP 
TO ITS CREED. 
THAT WORK WILL 
CONTINUE LONG 
AFTER THIS 
ELECTION. 
BUT ANY CHANCE 
OF SUCCESS 
DEPENDS ENTIRELY 
ON THE OUTCOME 
OF THIS ELECTION.
THIS 
ADMINISTRATION 
HAS SHOWN IT 
WILL TEAR OUR 
DEMOCRACY DOWN 
IF THAT IS WHAT 
IT TAKES FOR 
THEM TO WIN. 
WE HAVE TO GET 
BUSY BUILDING IT 
UP. 
BY PORTING ALL 
OUR EFFORTS INTO 
THE 76 DAYS, AND 
BY VOTING LIKE 
NEVER BEFORE. 
FOR JOE AND 
KAMALA, AND 
CANDIDATES UP 
AND DOWN THE 
TICKET SO THAT 
WE LEAVE  NO 
DOUBT ABOUT WHAT 
THIS COUNTRY 
THAT WE LOVE 
STANDS FOR. 
TODAY, AND FOR 
ALL OUR DAYS TO 
COME. 
GOD BLESS.

UNITED STATES? 
>> GREETINGS 
AMERICA. 
IT IS TRULY AN 
HONOR TO BE 
SPEAKING WITH 
YOU TONIGHT. 
THAT I AM HERE 
TONIGHT IS A 
TESTAMENT TO THE 
DEDICATION OF 
GENERATIONS 
BEFORE ME. 
WOMEN AND MEN 
WHO BELIEVED SO 
FIERCELY IN THE 
PROMISE OF 
EQUALITY, 
LIBERTY, AND 
JUSTICE FOR ALL. 
THIS WEEK MARKS 
THE 100th 
ANNIVERSARY OF 
THE PASSAGE OF 
THE 19th 
AMENDMENT. 
WE CELEBRATE THE 
WOMEN WHO FOUGHT 
FOR THAT RIGHT. 
YET, SO MANY OF 
THE BLACK WOMEN 
WHO HELPED 
SECURE THAT 
VICTORY WERE 
STILL PROHIBITED 
FROM VOTING LONG 
AFTER ITS 
RATIFICATION. 
BUT THEY WERE 
UNDETERRED. 
WITHOUT FANFARE 
OR RECOGNITION, 
THEY ORGANIZED 
AND TESTIFIED 
AND RALLIED AND 
MARCHED AND 
FOUGHT, NOT JUST 
FOR THEIR VOTE, 
BUT FOR A SEAT 
AT THE TABLE. 
THESE WOMEN AND 
THE GENERATIONS 
THAT FOLLOWED 
WORKED TO MAKE 
DEMOCRACY AND 
OPPORTUNITY REAL.
REAL FOR THE 
LIVES OF ALL OF 
US WHO FOLLOWED. 
THEY PAVED THE 
WAY FOR THE 
TRAILBLAZING 
LEADERSHIP OF 
BARACK OBAMA AND 
HILLARY CLINTON. 
AND OF THESE 
WOMEN INSPIRED US
TO PICK UP THE 
TORCH, AND FIGHT 
ON. 
WOMEN LIKE MARY 
CHURCH TYRELL, 
MARY CLAY 
BASSOON, AND 
DIANE MASH. 
CONSTANCE BAKER 
MOTLEY, AND THE 
GREAT SHIRLEY 
SHIPTON. 
NOT OFTEN TOLD 
THEIR STORIES, 
BUT AS AMERICANS,
WE ALL STAND ON 
THEIR SHOULDERS. 
THERE'S ANOTHER 
WOMAN WHOSE NAME 
ISN'T KNOWN, 
WHOSE STORY 
ISN'T SHARED, 
ANOTHER WOMAN 
WHOSE SHOULDERS 
I STAND ON. 
THAT IS MY 
MOTHER. 
SHAMALA HARRIS. 
SHE CAME HERE 
FROM INDIA AT 
AGE 19 TO PURSUE 
HER DREAMS OF 
CURING CANCER. 
AT THE 
UNIVERSITY OF 
CALIFORNIA 
BERKELEY, SHE 
MET MY FATHER, 
DONALD HARRIS, 
WHO HAD COME 
FROM JAMAICA TO 
STUDY ECONOMICS. 
THEY FELL IN 
LOVE, IN THAT 
MOST AMERICAN 
WAY, MARCHING 
TOGETHER FOR 
JUSTICE IN THE 
CIVIL RIGHTS 
MOVEMENT OF THE 
1960s. 
IN THE STREETS 
OF OAKLAND AND 
BERKELEY, I GOT 
A STROLLER'S EYE 
VIEW OF PEOPLE 
GETTING INTO 
WHAT THE GREAT 
JOHN LEWIS 
CALLED GOOD 
TROUBLE. 
WHEN I WAS FIVE, 
MY PARENTS 
SPLIT, AND MY 
MOTHER RAISED 
DUST MOSTLY ON 
HER OWN. 
LIKE SO MANY 
MOTHERS, SHE 
WORKED AROUND 
THE CLOCK TO 
MAKE IT WORK, 
PACKING LUNCHES 
BEFORE WE WOKE 
UP, AND PAYING 
BILLS AFTER WE 
WENT TO BED. 
HELPING US WITH 
HOMEWORK AT THE 
KITCHEN TABLE AND
SHUFFLING US TO 
CHURCH FOR CHOIR 
PRACTICE. 
SHE MADE IT LOOK 
EASY, THOUGH IT 
NEVER WAS. 
MY MOTHER 
INSTILLED IN MY 
SISTER, MAIA AND 
ME, THE VALUES 
THAT WOULD CHART 
THE COURSE OF 
OUR LIVES. 
SHE RAISED US TO 
BE PROUD, 
STRONG, BLACK 
WOMEN. 
AND SHE RAISED US
TO KNOW, AND BE 
PROUD OF OUR 
INDIAN HERITAGE. 
SHE TAUGHT US TO 
PUT FAMILY FIRST,
THE FAMILY YOU 
ARE BORN INTO, 
AND THE FAMILY 
YOU CHOOSE. 
FAMILY IS MY 
HUSBAND'S WHO I 
MET ON A BLIND 
DATE SET UP BY 
MY BEST FRIEND. 
FAMILY IS OUR 
BEAUTIFUL 
CHILDREN, COAL 
AND ELLA WHO 
CALL ME MOM. 
FAMILY IS MY 
SISTER. 
FAMILY IS MY 
BEST FRIEND. 
MY NIECES AND MY 
GODCHILDREN. 
FAMILY IS MY 
UNCLE, MY AUNTS, 
AND MY KITTIES. 
FAMILY IS MRS. 
SHELTON, MY 
SECOND MOTHER 
WHO LIVES TWO 
DOORS DOWN AND 
HELPED RAISE ME. 
FAMILY IS MY 
BELOVED ALPHA 
KAPPA ALPHA, OUR 
DIVINE NINE, AND 
MY HBC YOU 
BROTHERS AND 
SISTERS. 
FAMILY IS THE 
FRIENDS I TURN 
TO WHEN MY MOTHER
, THE MOST 
IMPORTANT PERSON 
IN MY LIFE 
PASSED AWAY FROM 
CANCER. 
AND EVEN AS SHE 
TAUGHT US TO 
KEEP OUR FAMILY 
AT THE CENTER OF 
OUR WORLD, SHE 
ALSO PUSHED US 
TO SEE A WORLD 
BEYOND OURSELVES.
SHE TAUGHT US TO 
BE CONSCIOUS AND 
COMPASSIONATE 
ABOUT THE 
STRUGGLES OF ALL 
PEOPLE. 
TO BELIEVE 
PUBLIC SERVICE 
IS A NOBLE CAUSE,
AND THE FIGHT 
FOR JUSTICE IS A 
SHARED 
RESPONSIBILITY. 
THAT LED ME TO 
BECOME A LAWYER. 
A DISTRICT 
ATTORNEY, 
ATTORNEY 
GENERAL, AND A 
UNITED STATES 
SENATOR. 
AND AT EVERY 
STEP OF THE WAY, 
I HAVE BEEN 
GUIDED BY THE 
WORDS I SPOKE 
FROM THE FIRST 
TIME I STOOD IN 
A COURTROOM. 
KAMALA HARRIS, 
FOR THE PEOPLE. 
I HAVE FOUGHT 
FOR CHILDREN AND 
SURVIVORS OF 
SEXUAL ASSAULT. 
I HAVE FOUGHT 
AGAINST 
TRANSNATIONAL 
CRIMINAL 
ORGANIZATIONS, I 
TOOK ON THE 
BIGGEST BANKS 
AND HELPED TAKE 
DOWN ONE OF THE 
BIGGEST FOR-
PROFIT COLLEGES. 
I KNOW A 
PREDATOR WHEN I 
SEE ONE. 
MY MOTHER TAUGHT 
ME THAT SERVICE 
TO OTHERS IS 
LIFE PURPOSE AND 
MEANING. 
AND OH, HOW I 
WISH SHE WERE 
HERE TONIGHT, 
BUT I KNOW SHE 
IS LOOKING DOWN 
ON ME FROM LOVE, 
AND I KEEP 
THINKING ABOUT 
THAT 25-YEAR-OLD 
INDIAN WOMAN, 
ALL OF FIVE FEET 
TALL, WHO GAVE 
BIRTH TO ME AT 
KAISER HOSPITAL 
IN OAKLAND, 
CALIFORNIA. 
ON THAT DAY, SHE 
PROBABLY COULD 
HAVE NEVER 
IMAGINED THAT I 
WOULD BE 
STANDING BEFORE 
YOU NOW AND 
SPEAKING THESE 
WORDS. 
I ACCEPT YOUR 
NOMINATION FOR 
VICE PRESIDENT 
OF THE UNITED 
STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
I DO SO, 
COMMITTED TO THE 
VALUES SHE 
TAUGHT ME, TO 
THE WORDS THAT 
TEACHES ME TO 
WALK BY FAITH 
AND NOT BY SIGHT.
AND TO A VISION, 
PASSED ON FOR 
GENERATIONS OF 
AMERICANS, ONE 
THAT JOE BIDEN 
SHARES. 
A VISION OF OUR 
NATION AS A 
BELOVED 
COMMUNITY, WHERE 
ALL OUR WELCOME, 
NO MATTER WHAT 
WE LOOK LIKE, NO 
MATTER WHERE WE 
COME FROM, OR 
WHO WE LOVE. 
A COUNTRY WHERE 
WE MAY NOT AGREE 
ON EVERY DETAIL, 
BUT WE ARE 
UNITED BY THE 
FUNDAMENTAL 
BELIEF THAT 
EVERY HUMAN BEING
IS OF INFINITE 
WORTH, DESERVING 
OF COMPASSION, 
DIGNITY, AND 
RESPECT. 
A COUNTRY WHERE 
WE LOOK OUT FOR 
ONE ANOTHER, 
WHERE WE RISE 
AND FALL AS ONE. 
WHERE WE FACE 
OUR CHALLENGES 
AND CELEBRATE 
OUR TRIUMPHS, 
TOGETHER. 
TODAY, THAT 
COUNTRY FEELS 
DISTANT. 
DONALD TRUMP'S 
FAILURE OF 
LEADERSHIP HAS 
COST LIVES AND 
LIVELIHOODS. 
IF YOUR A 
PARENT, 
STRUGGLING WITH 
YOUR CHILD'S 
REMOTE LEARNING, 
OR YOU ARE A 
TEACHER, 
STRUGGLING ON 
THE OTHER SIDE OF
THAT SCREEN, YOU 
KNOW WHAT WE ARE 
DOING RIGHT NOW 
IS NOT WORKING. 
AND, WE ARE A 
NATION THAT IS 
GRIEVING. 
GRIEVING THE 
LOSS OF LIFE. 
THE LOSS OF 
JOBS. 
THE LOSS OF 
OPPORTUNITIES. 
THE LOSS OF 
NORMALCY, AND 
YES, AND YES, THE L 
OF CERTAINTY. 
>> AND WHILE THIS VIRUS TOUCHES 
US ALL, WE'VE GOT TO BE HONEST 
IT IS NOT AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY 
OFFENDER. 
BLACKS, LATINOS, AND INDIGENOUS 
PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING AND DYING 
DISPROPORTIONATELY. 
AND THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. 
IT IS THE EFFECT OF STRUCTURAL 
RACISM. 
>> OF INEQUITIES, OF AN 
EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY, 
HEALTH CARE AND HOUSING, JOB 
SECURITY AND TRANSPORTATION. 
THE INJUSTICE, AND REPRODUCTIVE 
AND MATERNAL HEALTH CARE, AND 
EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE BY 
POLICE AND IN THE BROADER 
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. 
>> THIS VIRUS, IT HAS NO EYES, 
AND YET IT KNOWS, EXACTLY HOW 
WE SEE EACH OTHER. 
AND HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER. 
AND LET'S BE CLEAR, THERE IS NO 
VACCINE FOR RACISM. 
WE HAVE GOT TO DO THE WORK. 
FOR GEORGE FLOYD, FOR BREONNA 
TAYLOR, FOR THE LIVES OF TOO 
MANY OTHERS TO NAME, FOR OUR 
CHILDREN. 
AND FOR ALL OF US. 
>> WE'VE GOT TO DO THE WORK, TO 
FULFILL THAT PROMISE, OF EQUAL 
JUSTICE UNDER LAW. 
BECAUSE HERE'S THE THING, NONE 
OF US ARE FREE. 
UNTIL ALL OF US ARE FREE. 
>> WE ARE AT AN INFECTION 
POINT, THE CONSTANT CHAOS LEADS 
TO DISTRESS. 
THE INCOMPETENCE, IT MAKES US 
FEEL AFRAID, THE CALLOUSNESS 
MAKES US FEEL ALONE. 
IT'S A LOT, AND HERE'S THE 
THING, WE CAN DO BETTER. 
AND WE DESERVE SO MUCH MORE. 
WE MUST ELECT A PRESIDENT, WHO 
WILL BRING SOMETHING DIFFERENT 
SOMETHING BETTER, AND DO THE 
IMPORTANT WORK, A PRESIDENT WHO 
WILL BRING ALL OF US TOGETHER, 
BLACK, WHITE, LATINO, ASIAN, 
INDIGENOUS, TO ACHIEVE THE 
FUTURE WE COLLECT TIVOLI WANT. 
WE MUST ELECT JOE BIDEN. 
I WILL TELL YOU I KNEW JOE AS 
VICE PRESIDENT. 
I KNEW JOE ON THE CAMPAIGN 
TRAIL, AND I FIRST GOT TO KNOW 
JOE, AS THE FATHER OF MY FRIEND.
JOE'S SUN BO AND I SERVED AS 
ATTORNEYS GENERAL OF OUR STATES 
DELAWARE AND CALIFORNIA. 
DURING THE GREAT RECESSION HE 
AND I SPOKE ON THE PHONE NEARLY 
EVERY DAY. 
WORKING TOGETHER TO WIN BACK 
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR 
HOMEOWNERS FROM THE BIG BANKS 
THAT FORECLOSED ON PEOPLE'S 
HOMES. AND WE WOULD TALK ABOUT 
HIS FAMILY HOW AS A SINGLE 
FATHER JOE WOULD SPEND FOUR 
HOURS EVERY DAY RIDING THE 
TRAIN BACK AND FORTH FROM 
WILMINGTON TO WASHINGTON. 
BO AND HUNTER GOT TO HAVE 
BREAKFAST EVERY MORNING WITH 
THEIR DAD. 
THEY WENT TO SLEEP, EVERY NIGHT 
WITH THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE 
READING BEDTIME STORIES. 
AND WHILE THEY ENDURED AN 
UNSPEAKABLE LOSS, THOSE TWO 
LITTLE BOYS ALWAYS KNEW, THAT 
THEY WERE DEEPLY, 
UNCONDITIONALLY LOVED, AND WHAT 
ALSO MOVED ME ABOUT JOE IS THE 
WORK HE DID AS HE WAS GOING 
BACK AND FORTH. 
THIS IS THE LEADER WHO WROTE 
THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT, 
AND ENACTED THE ASSAULT WEAPONS 
BAN, WHO ADVICE IMPLEMENTED THE 
RECOVERY ACT WHICH BROUGHT OUR 
COUNTRY BACK FROM THE GREAT 
RECESSION, HE CHAMPIONED THE 
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT PROTECTING 
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WITH PRE-
EXISTING CONDITIONS. 
>> WHO SPENT DECADES PROMOTING 
AMERICAN VALUES, AND INTEREST 
AROUND THE WORLD. 
JOE, HE BELIEVES WE STAND WITH 
OUR ALLIES, AND STAND UP TO OUR 
ADVERSARIES. 
RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A PRESIDENT 
WHO TURNS ARE TRAGEDIES INTO 
POLITICAL WEAPONS. 
JOE, WILL BE A PRESIDENT WHO 
TURNS OUR CHALLENGES, INTO 
PURPOSE. 
JOE WILL BRING THIS TOGETHER, 
TO BUILD AN ECONOMY, THAT 
DOESN'T LEAVE ANYONE BEHIND. 
WHERE A GOOD PAYING JOB, IS THE 
FLOOR, NOT THE CEILING. 
JOE WILL BRING US TOGETHER TO 
END THIS PANDEMIC AND MAKE SURE 
THAT WE ARE PREPARED FOR THE 
NEXT ONE. 
JOE WILL BRING US TOGETHER, TO 
SQUARELY FACE AND DISMANTLE 
RACIAL INJUSTICE, FURTHERING 
THE WORK OF GENERATIONS. 
>> JOE AND I BELIEVE THAT WE 
CAN BUILD THE BELOVED 
COMMUNITY. 
ONE THAT IS STRONG, AND DECENT, 
JUST, AND KIND. 
ONE IN WHICH, WE CAN ALL SEE 
OURSELVES. THAT IS OUR VISION 
THAT ARE PARENTS AND 
GRANDPARENTS FOUGHT FOR, THE 
VISION THAT MADE MY OWN LIFE 
POSSIBLE. 
THE VISION THAT MAKES THE 
AMERICAN PROMISE FOR ALL ITS 
COMPLEXITIES AND IMPERFECTIONS 
A PROMISE WORTH FIGHTING FOR. 
SO MAKE NO MISTAKE, THE ROAD 
AHEAD IS NOT EASY. 
WE MAY STUMBLE, WE MAY FALL 
SHORT, BUT I PLEDGE TO YOU, 
THAT WE WILL ACT BOLDLY, AND 
DEAL WITH OUR CHALLENGES 
HONESTLY. 
WE WILL SPEAK TRUTHS AND WE 
WILL ACT WITH THE SAME SPACE IN 
YOU, THAT WE ASK YOU TO PLACE 
IN US. 
WE BELIEVE, THAT OUR COUNTRY, 
ALL OF US WILL STAND TOGETHER, 
FOR A BETTER FUTURE. 
AND WE ALREADY ARE, WE SEE IT 
IN THE DOCTORS, THE NURSES, THE 
HOME HEALTH CARE WORKERS, AND 
FRONT-LINE WORKERS WHO ARE 
RISKING THEIR LIVES, TO SAVE 
PEOPLE THEY HAVE NEVER MET. 
WE SEE IT IN THE TEACHERS AND 
TRUCK DRIVERS, THE FACTORY 
WORKERS AND FARMERS. 
THE POSTAL WORKERS, AND POLL 
WORKERS, ALL PUTTING THEIR OWN 
SAFETY ON THE LINE TO HELP US 
GET THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC. 
AND WE SEE IT IN SO MANY OF 
YOU, WHO ARE WORKING NOT JUST 
TO GET US THROUGH OUR CURRENT 
CRISIS, BUT TO SOMEWHERE 
BETTER. 
THERE IS SOMETHING HAPPENING, 
ALL ACROSS OUR COUNTRY. 
IT IS NOT ABOUT JOE OR ME. 
IT IS ABOUT YOU. 
AND IT IS ABOUT US. 
PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND COLORS 
AND CREAMS. 
WHO ARE TAKEN TO THE STREETS 
AND ALSO PERSUADING OUR FAMILY 
MEMBERS RALLYING OUR FRIENDS 
ORGANIZING OUR NEIGHBORS AND 
GETTING OUT THE VOTE. 
AND WE HAVE SHOWN THAT WHEN WE 
VOTE, WE EXPAND ACCESS TO 
HEALTH CARE, AND EXPAND ACCESS 
TO THE BALLOT BOX AND ENSURE 
THAT MORE WORKING FAMILIES CAN 
MAKE A DECENT LIVING. 
AND I AM SO INSPIRED BY A NEW 
GENERATION, YOU ARE PUSHING US 
TO REALIZE THE IDEALS OF OUR 
NATIONS. 
PUSHING US TO LIVE THE VALUES 
WE SHARE. 
DECENCY, AND FAIRNESS, JUSTICE, 
AND LOVE. 
YOU ARE PATRIOTS, WHO REMIND US 
THAT TO LOVE OUR COUNTRY, IS TO 
FIGHT FOR THE IDEALS OF OUR 
COUNTRY. 
IN THE SELECTION, WE HAVE A 
CHANCE TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF 
HISTORY. 
WE ARE ALL IN THIS FIGHT. 
YOU, ME, AND JOE. 
TOGETHER. 
WHAT AN AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY, 
WHAT AN AWESOME PRIVILEGE. 
SO, LET'S FIGHT WITH 
CONVICTION, LET'S FIGHT WITH 
HOPE. 
LET'S FIGHT WITH CONFIDENCE, IN 
OURSELVES AND IN THE COMMITMENT 
TO EACH OTHER. 
TO THE AMERICA THAT WE KNOW IS 
POSSIBLE. 
THE AMERICA WE LOVE. 
AND YEARS FROM NOW, THIS MOMENT 
WILL HAVE PASSED, AND OUR 
CHILDREN, AND OUR 
GRANDCHILDREN, WILL LOOK IN OUR 
EYES, AND THEY'RE GOING TO ASK 
US, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE 
STAKES WERE SO HIGH, THEY WILL 
ASK US, WHAT WAS IT LIKE? 
AND WE WILL TELL THEM. 
WE WILL TELL THEM, NOT JUST HOW 
WE FELT, WE WILL TELL THEM WHAT 
WE DID. 
THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU, AND 
GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
>> KAMALA HARRIS ON THE CHASE
