KAMALA: HI, EVERYONE, IT'S ME.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF VOTING.
KNOW MANY OF YOU FLON VOTE
THISAR BUT ADMITS  THE
EXCITEMENT AND ENTHUSIASM FOR
THE ELECTION.
YOU HEARD ABOUT OBSTACLES AND
MISINFORMATION AND FOLKS MAKING
IT HARDER FOR TO YOU CAST YOUR
BALLOT SO 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?
AND 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'LL HELP
UNDERSTAND YOUR VOTING OPTIONS,
REMEMBER RELEVANT DEADLINES, AND
MAKE A PLAN FOR VOTING IN YOUR

WELCOME TONIGHT THREE OF
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.
I AM HONORED TO BE JOINING YOU Z
WE CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE THE
UNCONVENTIONAL JONES.
WE WILL BE HEARING A LOT MORE I
PROMISE.
BUT FIRST, WHEN I WAS IN SEVENTH
OR EIGHTH GRADE, WE WOMEN MID
THE CONSTITUTION.
THE FIRST 15 WORDS 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,
BLACK PEOPLE WERE CONSIDERED
THREE FIFTHS 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 DISFIN
GISHES US.
WE'RE FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES.
AND RIGHT NOW, THAT FIGHT IS
REAL.

FROM SO MANY PHENOMENAL WOMEN
WHO ARE WORKING TO BUILD THAT
MORE PERFECT UNION.

HILLARY CLINTON, SENATOR
ELIZABETH WARREN, GOVERNOR
MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM.

PERFORMANCE FROM JENNIFER HUDSON

TO BUILD A MORE EQUAL, MORE JUST
FUTURE.
AND WE'RE GOING TO CAP IT OFF
WITH SOME WORDS FROM OUR
449th PRESIDENT, BARACK
OBAMA.
KERRY: THAT'S A LONG WAY OF
SAYING, THIS IS GOING TO BE AN
UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT FILLED WITH
IMPORTANT VOICES.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT VOICE WE
HOPE TO HEAR FROM TONIGHT IS THE
ONE WE NEED TO HEAR FROM MOST,
IT'S YOURS.
BECAUSE IF WE'RE GOING TO REPAIR
THE DAMAGE THAT'S BEEN DONE, IF
WE'RE GOING TO FINALLY REALIZE
THE DREAM, IF WE'RE GOING TO
RESTORE THE SOUL OF OUR NATION.
WE THE PEOPLE HAVE TO GET
INVOLVED.
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US IS THE
WE.
YOU ARE THE WE.
IT IS GOING TO BE YOUR VOICE,
YOUR SERVICE, YOUR ACTION THAT

90% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT COMMON
SENSE GUN LAWS BECAUSE WE NEED
TO DO MORE TO DO ANOTHER ADDRESS
THIS EPIDEMIC OF GUN VIOLENCE.
>> PEOPLE AFFECTED BY EVERY DAY
GUN VIOLENCE HAVE TO WALK BY THE
STREET CORPER WHERE THEY THEM
SELFS WERE SHOT AND LIFE GOES ON
AND AS IF WITH LOSE LOVE ONE

THE WHOLE POINT THAT I AM SAYING
HERE, UNTIL WE SAY I CAN'T DO
THIS ANY MORE SNIP CAN'T SIT BY

SHOOTINGS LIKE ACTS OF GOD, GUN
VIOLENCE IS NOT JUST GOING TO
STOP, UNTIL THREE THERE IS A

HEALTHY.
THE RICK LAZIO ENGINEERS WHO DEA

THERE IS A LOFT HEARTBREAK IN

THE TRUTH IS, MAN THINK THINGS
WERE BROKEN BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
BUT AS THE SAYING GOES, THE
WORLD
BREAKS ALL OF US AT ONE POINT OR
ANOTHER, AND WE CAN BE STRONGER
IN THE BROKEN PLACES. 
JOE BIDEN UNDERSTANDS THAT. 
HE KNOWS HOW TO HEAL, BECAUSE
HE'S DONE IT HIMSELF.  
SO COME NOVEMBER, IF WE'RE
STRONG TOGETHER, WE WILL HEAL
TOGETHER.
WE WILL REDEEM THE SOUL AND THE

NANCY:  THE MOST DIVERSE MAJOR
TOUGHER THE HISTORY.
MORE THAN 60% WOMEN PEOPLE OF
COLOR AND LGBTQ.
THIS MONTH, AS AMERICA MARKS THE
CENTENNIAL OF WOMEN FINALLY
WINNING THE RIGHT TO VOTE, WE
CELEBRATE THE 105 WOMEN IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES  90 OF
THEM DEMOCRATS.
TO WIN THE VOTE, FOR THREE
QUARTERS OF A CENTURY, WOMEN
MARCHED AND FOUGHT AND NEVER
GAVE IN.
WE STAND ON THEIR SHOULDERS
CHARGED WITH CARRYING FORWARD
THE UNFINISHED WORK OF OUR
NATION ADVANCED BY HEROES FROM
SENECA FALLS, TO SELMA, TO
STONEWALL.
FOUR YEARS AGO, WHEN WE CAME
TOGETHER, PRESIDENT OBAMA AND
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN WERE IN THE
WHITE HOUSE.
THEY MADE US PROUD AND THEIR
LEADERSHIP MADE OUR COUNTRY
GREAT.
IN THAT SPIRIT, WE COME TOGETHER
AGAIN, NOT TO DECRY THE
DARKNESS, BUT TO LIGHT A WAY
FORWARD FOR OUR COUNTRY.
THAT IS THE GUIDING PURPOSE OF
HOUSE DEMOCRATS.
WE ARE FIGHTING FOR THE PEOPLE.
WE HAVE SENT THE GOP SENATE
LANDMARK BILLS FOR:
LOWER HEALTH COSTS AND LOWER
PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES.
BIGGER PAYCHECKS BY REBUILDING
AMERICA'S INFRASTRUCTURE.
CLEANER GOVERNMENT BY SAVING
VOTING RIGHTS IN THE NAME OF
JOHN LEWIS AND SAVING LIVES BY
ENACTING THE GEORGE FLOYD
JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT.
WE HAVE SENT THE SENATE BILLS TO
PROTECT OUR DREAMERS, TO ADVANCE
LGBTQ EQUALITY, TO END GUN
VIOLENCE, 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.
OVER 170,000 HAVE DIED.
THE SERIOUS, SCIENCE BASED
ACTION IN THE HEROES ACT WE SENT
THE SENATE THREE MONTHS AGO IS
ESSENTIAL TO SAFEGUARD LIVES,
LIVELIHOODS AND THE LIFE OF OUR
DEMOCRACY.
AND WHO IS STANDING IN THE WAY?
MITCH MCCONNELL AND DONALD
TRUMP.
INSTEAD OF CRUSHING THE VIRUS,
THEY'RE TRYING TO CRUSH THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT  AND ITS
PROTECTIONS FOR PRE-EXISTING
CONDITIONS.
AS SPEAK OF THE HOUSE, I HAVE
SEEN DONALD TRUMP'S DISRESPECT
FOR WOMEN.
DISRESPECT WHERE IT NOON THE
POLICIES TOWARD THE HEALTH AND
THE RIGHTS NOT JUST HIS CONDUCT.
WE KNOW WHAT HE DOESN'T.
THAT WHEN WOMEN SUCCEED, AMERICA
SUCCEEDS.
AND SO WE ARE UNLEASHING
THE FULL POWER OF WOMEN TO TAKE
THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN EVERY
PART OF OUR NATIONAL LIFE BY:
CHAMPIONING A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO
CHOOSE AND DEFENDING ROE V.
WADE;
SECURING AN HISTORIC GUARANTEE
FOR CHILD CARE THAT IS SAFE AND
AFFORDABLE;
PRESERVING SOCIAL SECURITY AND
PASSING EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL
WORK.
AND WHO IS STANDING IN THE WAY?
MITCH MCCONNELL AND DONALD
TRUMP.
SO HERE IS OUR ANSWER: WE WILL
SEE THEM IN NOVEMBER.
WE WILL ELECT PRESIDENT
BIDEN WHOSE HEART IS FULL OF
LOVE FOR AMERICA  AND RID THE
COUNTRY OF TRUMP'S HEARTLESS
DISREGARD FOR AMERICA'S
GOODNESS.
JOE BIDEN'S FAITH IN GOD GIVES
HIM THE COURAGE TO LEAD. JILL
BIDEN'S LOVE 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 WHERE HE
COMES FROM AND WHO HE FIGHTS
FOR.
AND KAMALA HARRIS IS THE VICE
PRESIDENT WE NEED RIGHT NOW
COMMITTED TO OUR CONSTITUTION,
BRILLIANT IN DEFENDING IT, AND A
WITNESS TO THE WOMEN OF THIS
NATION THAT THEIR VOICES WILL BE
HEARD.
OUR MISSION AND OUR PLEDGE IS TO
FIGHT FOR A FUTURE EQUAL TO THE
IDEALS OF OUR FOUNDERS, OUR
HOPES FOR OUR CHILDREN, THE
SACRIFICES OF OUR VETERANS, OUR
BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM 
AND THEIR FAMILIES.
WE WILL INCREASE OUR MAJORITY IN
THE HOUSE;
WE WILL WIN A DEMOCRATIC SENATE;
WE WILL ELECT KAMALA HARRIS VICE
PRESIDENT AND JOE BIDEN
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU AND GOD
BLESS ALL OF AMERICA.

IT IS A PROGRAM STARTED BY VICE

SEXUAL ASSAULT ON COLLEGE

THE DAY VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN
SWORE ME IN AS SECRETARY OF
LABOR WAS ONE OF THE PROUDEST
MOPS 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 FIGHTER,
NOW MORE THAN EVER.
AND JOE BIDEN IS THAT PERSON
BECAUSE HE HAS DONE IT BEFORE
AND I HAVE SEEN IT FIRST HAND.
HE AND PRESIDENT OBAMA MADE IT
EASIER FOR HOME CARE WORKERS TO
ORGANIZE, THEY EXTENDED OVERTIME
PAY TO MORE THAN FOUR MILLION
WORKERS.
THEY SAVED THE AUTOMOBILE
INDUSTRY AND A WHOLE LOT OF GOOD
UNION JOBS WITH IT.
AND WHEN MILLIONS OF FAMILIES
LOST THEIR HOMES, MY FRIEND FROM
CALIFORNIA SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS
TOOK ON THE BIG BANKS AND WON.
BUT BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP'S
FAILURES WE MUST ONCE AGAIN A
RESCUE A SINK ECONOMY.
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE OUT OF
WORK AND COME MACHINE CAN I TIST
OF COLORS ARE THE HARDEST HIT.
MILLIONS OF ESSENTIAL WORKERS
ARE PUTTING THEIR LIVES AT RISK
WITH LITTLE PLO TEXS.
AND MILLIONS MORE ARE JUST PLAN
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 FIVE 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
IS BUILDING BACK BETTER.
AND MAKING SURE THAT WORKING
FAMILIES CAN AFFORD CHILD CARE,
THAT IS HOW WE BUILD BACK
BETTER.
SO LET ME BORROW AND SLIGHTLY
EDIT SOMETHING JOE BIDEN SAID AT
MY SWEARING IN.
WHEN IT COMES TO EXPANDING YOUR
ECONOMY FOR ALL PEOPLE, NO ONE,
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.
I IT.
>> BEHIND EVERY BUSINESS THERE
IS A STORY.
SMALL BUSINESS ARE BEARING THE
ECONOMIC BRUNT OF THE
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC.
>> BEHIND EVERY BIT, THERE IS A
FAMILY.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE CLEARLY ARE
IN PAIN RIGHT NOW.
>> FOR EVERY FARM, THERE IS A
FIGHT TO STAY WHOLE.
>> THIS HARD WORK, THERE IS
HEARTBREAK.
>> WE ARE GOING TO LOSE 20 TO 3%
OF OUR SMALL BUSINESSES.
>> THIS IS THE STORY OF KEVIN
AND MOLLY JOHNSON, A
FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESS IN LAKE
COUNTY, OHIO.
>> WE HAVE 10 TO 12 EMPLOYEES,
ON GIVE DAY IN, 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 ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT ANOTHER
SHUTDOWN.
U CANNOT MAKE A BIG PURCHASE,
YOU CAN PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.
WE DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN COVER
PAYROLL.
WHEN THIS IS NOT GOING WELL, IT
YEAR IS.
>> THE PRESIDENT ALWAYS BRAGGING
ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET LEAVE IS
A LOVE SMALL MANUFACTURING
COMPANIES BEHIND.
>> WE COULD USE LITTLE HELP
RIGHT NOW.
IT SEEMS LIKE WE GET ONE STEP
FORWARD, THEN TWO STEPS BACK.
>> THIS IS THE STORY OF GREENE,
WHO JUST STARTED A CLOTHING
STORE, AND THEN COVID HIT.
>> FASHION HAS BEEN A LOVE OF
MINE FOR LIFE.
I WORKED HARD TO SAVE MONEY TO
OPEN THIS STORE.
THE RIBBON CUTTING OF
DECEMBER 14TH IT WAS BOOMING
THEN, BAM, IT WAS COVID.
WAS SCARY.
NO ONE WAS BIG ANYTHING.
MY GLEAM, THEY ARE GONE.
I REACHED OUT TO MY BANK BUT
THEY SAY THEYED INTO MORE MONEY.
IT IS GOING TO A LOT OF THE
BIGGER BUSINESSES.
THE MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESSES
WHO GET THE BAILOUT.
AND A SMALL BUSINESS LIKE MYSELF
IS JUST LEFT TO STRUGGLE.
>> BEING AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN
FEMALE, BUSINESS OWNER, UNDER
PRESIDENT TRUMP, I FEEL HOW CAN
I SAY?
I AM ALONE.
I AM ALONE.
>> THIS IS A STORY OF LYNN AND
HER TWO RESTAURANTS.
ONE CLOSED, AND ONE STILL OPEN.
>> IT IS ALL REALLY HARD FOR
RESTAURANTS TO BEGIN.
IT WOULD BE CROWDED IN HERE WITH
BABIES AND FAMILIES AND CROWDS
OUTSIDE, WAITING TO GET WRIN, IT
WAS PRETTY EXCITING.
ON THE DAY OF THE SHUTDOWN, WE
WERE ACTUALLY REVIEWED IN THE
"LOS ANGELES TIMES" ON THAT DAY,
THE VIRUS WAS ANNOUNCED AS A
GLOBAL PANDEMIC?
IS REALLY, REALLY SAD TO SEE.
IF WE DON'T TURN THIS AROUND
SOON, WE WILL SEE NOT THIS YEAR,
BUT IT IS A GHOST TOWN FOR
U.S.A.
A THE FIRST DECISION THAT I HAD
TO MAKE BECAUSE 100 PEOPLE ARE
LOOK AT YOU, AND UP FORTUNATELY,
THE CALL WAS TO FURLOUGH
EVERYBODY.
AT THIS POINT, I DON'T SEE
MYSELF IN BUSINESS NEXT MONTH.
[SPEAKING IN NATIVE TONGUE]
>> WE DON'T ASK FOR MUCH FROM
GOVERNMENT, BUT CATCH US WHEN
WE'RE FALLING.
I KNOW IT MUST FEEL LIKER
FALLING RIGHT NOW.
>> RESTAURANTS ARE AMONG THE
HARDEST BUSINESSES TO SUCCEED
AT.
BUT I WAS GOING TO DO IT IN A
WAY THAT WAS GOING TO PROVIDE
SUCCESSFUL CAREER FOR NOT ONLY
MYSELF, BUT 100 EM HE EOFEES.
 EMPLOYEE?
S.
THIS IS THE STORY OF DAN.
HE IS A FIFTH GENERATION FARMER
STRUGGLING TO KEEP THE BUSINESS
ALIVE.
I AM NOT SO SURE THAT PRESIDENT
UNDERSTANDS THAT WHEN HE THINKS
ABOUT BUSINESS.
DON'T THINK HE THINKS ABOUT
FARMERS AS ABOUT A BUSINESS.
HES INTO CLUE BUT THIS STUFF.
>> DAN, TELL ME ABOUT THE FARM.
WE HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE 1864.
>> TRADE TAFF REQUIRES WITH
CHINA HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE.
PART OF THE LANGUAGE IN THE
HE'LL DEAL SAID THE CHINA DOES
NOT HAVE TO BUY UNLESS THE
PRICES TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.
WHAT KIND OF TRADE DEAL THAT IS
THAT IS NO DEAL.
>> THEN WHEN COVID HIT, THEN
EVERYBODY PLUMMETED?
GETTING THROUGH NOW, THAT IS THE
PROBLEM.
THAT US THE DAY TO DAY BATTLE.
>> I BELIEVE THAT JOE BIDEN WILL
BE A CLEAR VOICE FOR US,
SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD,
JOE BIDEN HAS AM UNDERSTANDING
OF WHAT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN IS
EX PEERING.
>> I THINK HE IS LISTENING.
>> ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
IT TIMES HELP SMALL BUSINESS.
MANAGE THE WAY THROUGH THE
PANDEMIC.
>> I HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE
JOE BIDEN.
HE IS A FIGHTER.
HE THIS IS REAL DEAL.
>> WE HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF
KNOCKDOWNS AND WE KNOW AT THE
END OF THE DAY, WE WILL ENDURE.
WE WILL RISE AGAIN.
>> EVERY TIME I GET KNOCKED
DOWN, I I GOT TO GET UP AND KEEP
RUNNING.
KEEP GOING.
KEEP GOING.
KELLY:  TODAY, WE HEARD FROM THE
PEOPLE WHO MAKE AMERICA WORK.
PEOPLE WHO PUT THEIR LIVE ON THE
LINE TO KEEP OUR COUNTRY GOING
AND SINCE COVID-19 HIT, THEY
HAVE TAKEN ONE GUT PUNCH AFTER
ANOTHER.
AND WHAT THIS IS COVID FALLOUT
DONE TO OUR BABIES?
WELL, I AM HERE AT THE EARLY
CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
CENTER TO TALK ABOUT JOE BIDEN
AND KAMALA HARRIS'S PLAN TO
BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE FOR WORKING
FAMILIES.
CHILD CARE WAS ALREADY HARD TO
FIND BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
NOW, PARENTS ARE STUCK NO IDEA
WHEN SCHOOLS CAN SAFELY REOPEN
AND EVEN FEWER CHILD CARE
OPTIONS.
THE DEVASTATION IS ENORMOUS.
THE WAY I SEE IT, BIG PROBLEMS
DEMAND BIG SOLUTIONS.
>> LIFE 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.
PLAN TONS CREASE SOCIAL SECURITY
BENEFIT, CANCEL BILLIONS IN
STUDENT LOAN DEBT, AND MAKE OUR
BANKRUPTCY LAWS WORK FOR
FAMILIES INSTEAD OF THE
CREDITORS WHO CHEAT THEM.
THESE PLANS FLECK THE CENTRAL
TRUTH.
OUR ECONOMIC SYSTEM HAS BEEN
RIGGED 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 IS BROKEN.
GENTLEMEN'S PLAN TO BUILD BACK
BETTER INCLUDING MAKING THE
WEALTHY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.
HOLDING CORPORATIONS
ACCOUNTABLE, REPAIRING RATION
INEK IF IS AND FIGHTING
CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON.
LET ME TELL BUT ONE OF
GENTLEMEN'S PLANS THAT IS
ESPECIALLY CLOSE TO MY HEART.
CHILD CARE.
AS LITTLE GIRL GROWING UP IN
OKLAHOMA, WHAT I WANTED MOST IN
THE WORLD WAS TO BE A TEACHER.
AND I MADE IT, I LOVED TEACHING.
WHEN I HAD BABIES AND WAS
JUGGLING MY FIRST BIG TEACHING
JOB DOWN IN TEXAS, IT WAS HARD.
I COULD DO HARD.
BUT THE THING THAT ALMOST SANK
ME?
CHILD CARE.
ONE NIGHT MY AUNT BEE CALLED TO
CHECK IN.
CHECK IN.
I'M FINE, I SAID.
AND THEN I BROKE DOWN AND
STARTED TO CRY.
I HAD TRIED HOLDING IT ALL
TOGETHER, BUT I COULDN'T GET
ANYONE TO HELP CARE OF MY KIDS.
I TOLD AUNT BEE I WAS GOING TO
QUIT MY JOB.
I THOUGHT MY HEART WOULD BREAK.
THEN SHE SAID THE WORDS THAT
CHANGED MY LIFE: "I CAN'T GET
THERE TOMORROW, BUT I CAN COME
ON THURSDAY."
SHE ARRIVED WITH SEVEN SUITCASES
AND A PEKINGESE NAMED BUDDY AND
SHE STAYED FOR 16 YEARS.
MY AUNT BEE GAVE ME A CHANCE TO
KEEP FIGHTING FOR MY DREAM.
I LEARNED A FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH:
NOBODY MAKES IT ON THEIR OWN.
AND YET, HERE WE ARE, TWO
GENERATIONS OF WORKING PARENTS
LATER, AND, WHEN SOMEONE HAS A
BABY, OUR COUNTRY BASICALLY
SAYS: GOOD LUCK, YOU'RE ON YOUR
OWN.
HERE IS WHY THAT WRONG.
WE
BUILD ROADS AND BRIDGES AND
COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS SO THAT
PEOPLE CAN WORK.
SO THAT FAMILIES CAN BE MORE
SECURE.
SO THAT OUR COUNTRY CAN BE MORE
PROSPEROUS.
THAT INFRASTRUCTURE HELPS US ALL
BECAUSE IT KEEPS OUR ECONOMY
GOING. IT IS LONG PAST TIME TO
SAY THAT CHILDCARE AND EARLY
EDUCATION ARE PART OF THE BASIC
INFRASTRUCTURE OF THIS COUNTRY,
IT IS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR
FAMILIES.
NOW, BEFORE THE PANDEMIC,
RELIABLE, HIGH-QUALITY,
AFFORDABLE CHILDCARE AND EARLY
EDUCATION WAS ALREADY HARD TO
FIND.
DONALD TRUMP'S IGNORANCE AND EGO
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DANGER TO OUR
COUNTRY.
COVID-19 WAS HIS BIGGEST TEST.
HE FAILED MISERABLY, AND
EVERYONE ELSE IS PAYING THE
PRICE.
TODAY, AMERICA HAS THE HIGHEST
DEATH RATE IN THE WORLD AND AN
ECONOMY NOW IN FREEFALL.
MILLIONS OF MOMS AND DADS ARE
STUCK LACKING THE CHILDCARE THEY
NEED TO WORK, OR WORRIED ABOUT
IF AND WHEN SCHOOLS CAN SAFELY
REOPEN.
MILLIONS MORE PEOPLE OUT OF
WORK, ON THE VERGE OF LOSING
THEIR HOMES.
MILLIONS OF SMALL BUSINESSES
LOSING MONEY EVERY DAY OR
ALREADY CLOSED.
IT'S BAD AND IT'S GETTING WORSE
BY THE DAY.
THIS CRISIS IS ON DONALD TRUMP
AND THE REPUBLICANS WHO ENABLE
HIM.
AND IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO PAY A
PRICE FOR THEIR FAILURE.
SO PLEASE, TAKE OUT YOUR PHONE,
RIGHT NOW, AND TEXT VOTE TO
30330.
WE ALL NEED TO BE IN THE FIGHT
TO GET JOE AND KAMALA ELECTED.
AFTER NOVEMBER, WE NEED TO STAY
IN THE FIGHT TO GET BIG THINGS
DONE.
WE STAY IN THE 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."
KERRY: FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK
OBAMA HAS SAID THAT CHOOSING JOE
BIDEN TO BE HIS VICE PRESIDENT
WAS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS HE
EVER MADE.
AND THIS IS A MAN WHO HAS MADE A
LOT OF GOOD DECISIONS.
MAKING HEALTHCARE MORE
AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE.
RESCUING OUR ECONOMY AND
PROTECTING AMERICAN JOBS.
MARRYING MICHELLE OBAMA.
AND THROUGH IT ALL EXCEPT FOR
MAYBE THAT LAST ONE JOE BIDEN
WAS BY HIS SIDE.
YOU CAN SEE THEIR MUTUAL
RESPECT, THEIR MUTUAL AFFECTION
FOR ONE ANOTHER IN THE CLIP
YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE.
>> SO, JOE, FOR YOUR FAITH AND
FELLOW AMERICANS, ANOTHER LOVE
OF COUNTRY, AND FOR YOUR
LIFETIME OF SERVICE THAT WILL
END CURE FOR THE GENERATIONS, I
WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE MILL
MILITARY TIDE JOIN US ON THE
STAGE.
FOR THE FINAL TIME AS PRESIDENT,
I AM PLEASED TO AWADE OUR
NATION'S HIGHEST HONOR.
THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF
FREEDOM.
[APPLAUSE]
AND FOR THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME
IN MY PRESIDENCY WILL BEE THOUGH
MEDAL WITH ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF
VETERANS.
IN HORROR VERDICT FOR ONLY THREE
HERE, POPE JOHN PAUL II
PRESIDENT RON AL REAGAN AND
GENERAL COLIN POWELL.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I AM PROUD
TO AWARD THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL
OF FREEDOM WITH DISTINCTION TO
MY BROTHER, JOSEPH ROBERT BIDEN
JR. WILL PLEASE READ THE
CITATION.
>> VICEVICE PRESIDENT JOSEPH R.
BIDEN JR., IN CAREER PUBLIC
SERVICE SPANNING NEAR LAY HALF
CENTURY, VICE PRESIDENT JOSEPH
R. BIDEN JR. HAS LEFT HIS MARK
ON ALMOST EVERY PART OF OUR
NATION, FIGHTING FOR STRONGER
MIDDLE CLASS, A FAIR JUDICIAL
SYSTEM, A SMARTER FOREIGN
POLICY, PROVIDE PROVIDING
UNEYEDING FORT SPOR OUR TROOP,
COMBAT K CRIME AND VIOLENCE
AGAINST WOMEN LEADING OUR QUEST
TO CURE CANCER AND SAFEGUARDING
THE LANDMARK AMERICAN RECOVERY
AND REVINCEMENT ACT FROM
CORRUPTION.
WITH HIS CHARM, UNABARBED
OPTIMUM, AND DEEP AND ABIDING
PATRIOTISM, JOE BIDEN HAS
GARNERED THE RESPECT AND ESTEEM
OF COLLEAGUES OF BOTH PARTIANCE
THE FRIENDSHIP OF PEOPLE ACROSS
THE NATION AND AROUND THE WORLD.
WELL, SUMMONING THE STRENGTH,
FAITH AND GRICE OVERCOME GREAT
PERSONAL TRAGEDY, THIS SON OF
SCRANTON, CLAY MONTH, WILMINGTON
HAS BECOME THE MOST CONSEQUENCE
VICE PRESIDENTS IN AMERICAN
HISTORY.
I BELIEVE NONETHELESS, REST
FIRMLY BEHIND THE LEGACY AS
HUSBAND, FATHER AND GRANDFATHER.
A GRATEFUL NATION THANKS VICE
PRESIDENT JOE JOSEPH BIDEN JR.
FOR LIFETIME OF SERVICE ON
BEHALF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
[APPLAUSE]
>> GOOD EVENING, BY NOW, YOU
HAVE SEEN IT IS NOT A NORMAL
TIME.
SO TONIGHT, I WANT TO TALK AS
PLAINLY AS I CAN ABOUT THE
STAKES IN THIS ELECTION.
BECAUSE WHAT WE DO THESE NEXT 76
DAYS WILL ECO THROUGH
GENERATIONS TO COME.
I AM IN PHILADELPHIA, WHERE OUR
CONSTITUTION WAS DRAFTED AND
SIGNED.
IT WAS NOT A PERFECT DOCUMENT.
IT ALLOWED FOR THE INHUMANTIVE
SLAVERY AND FAILED TO GUARANTEE
WOMEN AND EVEN MEN WHO DIDN'T
OWN PROPERTY THE RIGHT TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE POLITICAL
PROCESS.
BUT EMBEDDED IN THE DOWN 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 IMPROVE THIS
CONSTITUTION TO INCLUDE THE
VOICES OF THOSE WHO ONCE HAVE
BEEN LEFT OUT.
AND GRADUALLY WE MADE THIS
COUNTRY MORE JUST AND MORE EQUAL
AND MORE FREE.
THE ONE CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICE
LEAKED BY ALL OF THE PEOPLE IS
THE PRESIDENCY.
SO AT MINIMUM, WE SHOULD EXPECT
A PRESIDENT TO FEEL A SENSE OF
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY
AND WELFARE OF ALL 330 MILLION
OF US, REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE
LOOK AT, HOW WE WORSHIP, WHO WE
LOVE, HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE, OR
WHO WE VOTED FOR.
WE SHOULD ALSO EXPECT A
PRESIDENT TO BE THE CUSTODIAN OF
THIS DIM.
WE SHOULD EXPECT THAT REGARDLESS
OF EGO, AMBITION, OR POLITICAL
BELIEFS, THE PRESIDENT WILL
PRESERVE, FOLK, AND DEFEND THE
FREEDOMS AND IDEALS THAT SO PAN
NY 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 SESSER
WOULD BREAMS MY VISION OR
CONTINUE MY POLICY, I DID HOPE
FOR THE SAVING COUNTRY, THAT
DONALD TRUMP MIGHT SHOW SOME
INTERESTS IN TAKING THE JOB
SERIOUSLY.
HE MIGHT COME TO FEEL THE WEIGHT
OF THE OFFICE, AND DISCOVER SOME
REFERENCE FOR THE DEMOCRACY THAT
HAD BEEN PLACED IN HIS CARE.
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 BUT ONE
MORE REALITY SHOW HE CAN USE TO
GET THE ATTENTION HE CRAVES.
DONALD TRUMP HAS NOT GROWN INTO
THE JOB BECAUSE HE CAN'T.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF THAT FAILURE
ARE SEVERE.
170,000 AMERICANS TODAY,
MILLIONS OF JOBS, GONE.
WHILE THOSE ARE THE TOP TAKEN
MORE THAN EVER.
OUR WORST IMPULSES UNLEASHED,
OUR PROUD REPUTATION AROUND THE
WORLD BADLY DIMINISH, AND OUR
DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS
THREATENED LAKE NEVER BEFORE.
LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
NOW, I KNOW THAT IN TIMES OF
POLARIZED AS THESE, MOST OF YOU
HAVE ALREADY MADE UP YOUR MIND,
BUT, 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'RE HEADED, BUT YOU
CAN'T SEE A BETTER PATH YET, OR
YOU JUST DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT
THE PERSON WHO WANTS TO LEAD US
THERE.
SO LET ME TELL BUT MY FRIEND,
JOE BIDEN.
12 YEARS AGO WHEN I BEGAN MY
SEARCH FOR VICE PRESIDENT, I
DIDN'T KNOW I WOULD END UP
FINDING A MOTH BROTHER.
JOANNE COME FROM DIFFERENT
PLACES, A DIFFERENT GENERATIONS,
BUT WHEN I QUICKLY CAME TO
ADMIRE ABOUT JOE BIDEN IS HIS
RESILIENCE, BORN OF TOO MUCH
STRUGGLE, HIS EMPATHY, BORN TO
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 ONE IS BETTER
THAN YOU, JOE.
BUT ARE BETTER THAN NOBODY.
THAT EMPATHY, THAT DECENCY, THE
BEA LEAF THAT EVERYBODY COUNT
BELIEF THAT EVERYBODY COUNTS,
THAT IS WHO JOE IS.
WHEN TALKS TO SOMEONE WHO LOST
HIS BE WHERE, JOE REMEMBERS  THE
NIGHT HIS FATHER SAT HIM DOWN TO
SAY HE LOST HIS.
WHEN JOE LISTENS TO A PARENT WHO
IS TRYING TO HOLD IT ALTOGETHER,
RIGHT NOW, HE DOES IT AS A
SINGLE DAD WHO TOOK THE TRAIN
BACK TO WILMINGTON EACH AND
EVERY NIGHT SO HE COULD TUCK HIS
YID KIDDS INTO BED.
WHEN HE MEETS WITH MILITARY
FAMILIES, WHO LOST THEIR HERO,
HE DOES IT AS KINDRED SPIRIT,
THE PARENT OF AN AMERICAN
SOLLIER, SOMEBODY WHOSE FAITH
HAS ENDURED THE HARDEST LOSS
THERE IS.
FOR EIGHT YEARS, JOE WAS THE
LAST ONE IN THE ROOM WHENEVER I
FACED A BIG DECISION.
HE MADE ME A BETTER PRESIDENT.
HE HAS THE CHARACTER AND THE
EXPERIENCE TO MAKE US A BETTER
COUNTRY.
AND THEN, MY FRIEND, KAMALA
HARRIS, HE HAS CHOSEN AN IDEAL
PARTNER, WHO IS MORE THAN
PREPARED FOR THE JOB.
SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT IT IS
LIKE TO OVERCOME BARRIER, WHO
HAS MADE CAREER, FIGHTING TO
HELP OTHERS LIVE OUT THEIR OWN
AMERICAN DREAM.
ALONG WITH THE EXPERIENCE NEEDED
TO GET THINGS DONE, JOAN KAMALA
HAVE CONCRETE POLL SAYS THAT
WILL TURN THE VISION OF A
BETTER, FARER, STRONGER COUNTRY
INTO REALITY.
THEY WILL GET THIS PAN DEM TICK
UNDER CONTROL.
LIKE JOE DID WHEN HELPED ME
MANAGE 1N1 AND PREVENT EBOLA
OUTBREAK FROM REACHING OUR
SHORES.
HE WILL EX PANZ HEALTH CARE TO
MORE AMERICANS LIKE JOAN DY TEN
YEARS AGO WHEN HE HELPED CRAFT
THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND NAIL
DONE THE FOT VOTES TO MAKE IT
LAW.
HE WILL RESCUE THE ECONOMY, LIKE
JOE HELPED ME DO AFTER THE GREAT
RECESSION.
I ASKED HIM TO MANAGE THE
RECOVERY AC, WHICH JUMP-STARTED
THE LONGEST STRETCH OF JOB
GROWTH IN HISTORY.
HE SEES THIS MOMENT NOW, NOT AS
A CHANCE TO GET BACK TO WHERE WE
WERE, BUT TO MAKE LONG OVERDUE
CHANGES SO 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 SHIFTER ON THE EDGE
OF GETTING LAID OFF, BUT THE
STUDENT, FIGURING OUT HOW TO PAY
FOR NEXT MEESTER'S CLASSES.
JOAN KAMALA WILL RESTORE THE
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 STANDS WITH
DEMOCRACY, NOT DICTATE OARS, AND
A NATION THAT CAN INSPIRE AND
MOBILIZE OTHERS TO OVERCOME
THREATS LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE AND
TERRORISM, POVERTY, ANDY SEES,
ANDY SEES, BUT MORE THAN
ANYTHING, WHAT I KNOW ABOUT JOE
BLAISH KNOW ABOUT KAMALA, THAT
IS THEY ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT
EVERY AMERICAN.
AND THEY CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THIS
DEMOCRACY.
THEY BELIEVE THAT IN A
DEMOCRACY, THE RIGHT TO VOTE IS
SACRED, AND WE SHOULD BE MAKE IT
EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO CAST THEIR
BALLOTS, NOT HARDER.
THEY BELIEVE THAT NO ONE
INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT IS ABOVE
THE LAW AND THIS NO PUBLIC
OFFICIAL INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT
SHOULD USE THE OFFICE TO ENRICH
THEMSELVES OR THEIR SUPPORTERS.
THEY UNDERSTANZ IN THIS
DEMOCRACY, THE COMMANDER AND
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 UNDERSTAN THAT POLITICAL
OPPONENTS WHOS ARE NOT
UN-AMERICAN BECAUSE THEY
DISAGREE WITH YOU.
A FREE PRESS IS NOT THE ENEMY,
BUT THE WAY WE HOLD OFFICIALS
ACCOUNTABLE.
AND OUR ABILITY TO WORK TOWING
TO SOLVE BIG PROBLEMS LIKE A
PANDEMIC, DEPEND ON A FIDELITY
OF THE FACTS, SCIENCE AND LOGIC,
NOT JUST MAKE STUFF UP.
NOT JUST MAKING STUFF UP.
NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE
CONTROVERSIAL.
THESE SHOULDN'T BE REPUBLICAN
PRINCIPLES OR DEMOCRATIC
PRINCIPLES THEY ARE AMERICAN
PRINCIPLES BUT AT THIS MOMENT,
THIS PRESIDENT AND THOSE WITH
ENABLE HIM HAVE SHOWN THEY DON'T
BELIEVE IN THESE THINGS.
TONIGHT, I AM ASK K TO YOU
BELIEVE BE WHERE IN JOAN
KAMALA'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.
SO I AM ALSO ASKING YOU TO
BELIEVE IN YOUR OWN ABILITY TO
EMBRACE YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY
AS CITIZENS, TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE BASIC TENANTS OF OUR
DEMOCRACY ENDURE.
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IS AT STAKE
NOW.
OUR DEMOCRACY.
LOOK.
I UNDERSTAND WHY A LOT OF
AMERICANS ARE DOWN ON THE
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 SOON THE WAGES
CUT OR THE JOBS SHIFT OVERSEAS
MAY FEEL LOOK THE GOVERNMENT NO
LONGER LOOKS OUT FOR HIM.
AND WHY A BLACK MOM MIGHT BE
FEEL LIKE IT NEVER LOOKED OUT
FOR HER AT ALL.
I UNDERSTAND WHY A NEW IMMIGRANT
MIGHT LOOK AROUND THIS COUNTRY
AND WONDER WHETHER FROM THERE IS
STILL A PLACE FOR HIM HERE.
WHY A YOUNG PERSON MAY LOOK AT
POLITICS RIGHT NOW.
THE CIRCUS OF IT ALL.
THE MEANNESS AND THE LIES AND
CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND THINK,
WHAT IS THE POINT?
WELL, HERE IS THE POINT.
THIS PRESIDENT AND THOSE IN
POWER, THOSE WHO BENEFIT FROM
KEEPING THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE,
THEY ARE COUNTING ON YOUR
CITIZENS.
THEY KNOW THEY CANNOT WIN YOU
OVER WITH THE POLICIES.
SO THEY ARE HOPING TO MAKE IT AS
HARD AS POSSIBLE FOR TO YOU
VOTE, AND TO CONVINCE YOU THAT
YOUR VOTE DOES NOT MATTER.
S THAT YOU HOW THEY WIN.
THAT IS HOW THEY GET TO KEEP
MAKING DECISIONS THAT AFFECT
YOUR LIFE.
AND THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE THAT
YOU LOVE.
THAT IS HOW THE ECONOMY WILL
KEEP GETTING SKEWED TO THE
WEALTHY AND WELL CONNECTED.
HOW OUR HEALTH SYSTEMS WILL LET
MORE PEOPLE FALL THROUGH THE
CRACKS.
THAT IS HOW A DEMOCRACY WITHERS.
UNTIL IT IS NO DEMOCRACY AT ALL.
AND QUEEN NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.
AND WE CAN NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.
DO NOT LET THEM TAKE AWAY YOUR
POWER.
DO NOT LET THEM TAKE AWAY YOUR
DEMOCRACY.
MAKE A PLAN RIGHT NOW FOR HOW
YOU ARE GOING TO GET INVOLVED
AND VOTE.
DO IT AS EARLY AS YOU CAN, AND
TELL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS HOW
THEY CAN VOTE, TOO.
DO WHAT AMERICANS HAVE DONE FOR
OVER TWO CENTURIES WHEN FACED
WITH EVEN TOUGHER TIMES THAN
THIS.
ALL OF THOSE QUIET HEROS, WHO
FOUND THE COURAGE TO KEEP
MARCHING, KEEP PUSHING IN THE
FACE OF HARDSHIP, AND INJUSTICE.
LAST MONTH, WE LOST A GIANT OF
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IN JOHN
LEWIS.
SOME YEARS AGO I SAT DOWN WITH
JOHN, IN A FEW REMAINING LEADERS
OF THE EARLY CIVIL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT, ONE OF THEM TOLD ME
MERV PANEL GUD TO WALK INTO THE
WHITE HOUSE TO SEE A PRESIDENT
THAT LOOKED LIKE HIS GLANDSON.
HE TOLD ME HAD LOOKED IT?
IT.
IT TURNED OUT ON THE VERY DAY
THAT I WAS BORN, HE WAS MARCHING
INA JAIL CELL TRYING TO END
SEGREGATION IN THE SOUTH.
WHAT WE DO ECHOES THROUGH
GENERATIONS.
WHATEVER OUR BACKGROUNDS, WE ARE
ALL THE CHILDREN OF AMERICAN WHO
FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT.
GREAT GRANDPARENTS WHO WORK IN
FIRE TRAPS AND SWEAT SHOTS
WITHOUT RIGHTS OR
REPRESENTATION.
FARMERS LOSES THEIR DREAMS TO
DUST, IRISH AND ITALIANS AND
ASIANS AND LATINOS TOLD GO BACK
WHERE YOU COME FROM.
JEWS AND CATHOLICS, MUSLIMANCE
SIKH MADE TO FEEL SUSPECT FOR
THE WAY THEY WORSHIPED.
BLACK AMERICANS CHAINED AND
WHIPPED AND HANGED, SPIT ON FOR
TRYING TO SIT AT LUNCH COUNTERS,
BEATEN FOR TRYING TO VOTE.
IF ANYONE HAD RIGHT TO BELIEVE
THAT THIS DEMOCRACY DID NOT
WORK, AND COULD NOT WORK, IT WAS
THOSE AMERICANS, OUR ANCESTORS,
THEY WERE ON THE RECEIVING END
OF A DEM SAY THAT HAD FALLEN
SHORT ALL THEIR LIVES, OF A
DEMOCRACY THAT HAD FALLEN SHORT
ALL THAT YOU ARE LIVES THEY KNEW
HOW FAR THE DAILY OF REALITY OF
AMERICA STRAYED.
YET INSTEAD OF GIVING UP, THEY
JOINED TOGETHER AND THEY SAID,
SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, WE ARE GOING
TO MAKE THIS WORK.
WE ARE GOING TO BRING THOSE
WORKS IN OUR FOUNDING DOCUMENTS
TO LIFE.
I HAVE SEEN THAT SAME SPIRIT
RISE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS.
FOLKS OF EVERY AGE AND
BACKGROUND WHO PACKED CITY
CENTERS AND AIRPORTS AND RURAL
ROAD SO THAT FAM FAMILIES WON A
BE SEPARATED, SO THAT ANOTHER
CLASSROOM WOULDN'T GET SHOT UP.
SO THAT OUR KIDS WON'T GROW UP
ON UNINHABITABLE PLANET.
AMERICANS OF A ALL RACES JOINING
TOGETHER TO DECLARE IN THE FACE
OF INJUSTICE, AND BRUTALITY, THE
HANDS OF THE STATE, THAT BLACK
LIVES MATTER, NO MORE, BUT NO
LESS.
SO THAT NO CHILD IN THIS COUNTRY
FEELS THE CONTINUING STING RACE
IM.
RACISM.
TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO LED US
THIS SUMMER TELLING US WE NEED
TO BE BETTER, IN SO PAN ANYWAYS,
YOU ARE THIS COUNTRY'S DREAMS
FULFILLED.
EARLIER GENERATIONS HAD TO BE
PERSUADED THAT EVERYONE HAS
EQUAL WORK.
FOR YOU, IT IS A GIVEN.
A CONVICTION.
WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW IS THAT
FOR ALL ITS MESSINESS, AND
FRUSTRATIONS, YOUR SYSTEM OF
SELF-GOVERNMENT CAN HARNESSED TO
HELP YOU REALIZE THOSE
CONVICTIONS.
FOR ALL OF US.
YOU CAN GIVE OUR DEMOCRACY NEW
MEANING.
YOU CAN TAKE IT TO A BETTER
PLACE.
YOU 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 SUCCEED GENES
ENTIRELY ON THE OUTCOME OF THIS
ELECTION.
THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS SHOWN IT
WILL TEAR OUR DEMOCRACY DOWN.
IF THAT IS WHAT TAKE IT NORSE
THEM TO WIN.
WE HAVE TO GET BUSY BUILDING IT
UP.
BY POURING ALL OUR EFFORTS INTO
THESE 76 DAYS, AND BY VOTING
LIKE NEVER BEFORE, FOR JOAN
KAMALA, AND CANDIDATES UP AND
DOWN THE TICKET FOR TODAY AND
THE DAYS TO COME.
STAY SAFE.
GOD BLESS.

LEADERSHIP.

IT IS TRULY AN HONOR FOB
SPEAKING TO YOU TONIGHT.
THAT I AM HERE TONIGHT IS A
TESTAMENT TO THE EDUCATION OF
GENERATIONS BEFORE ME.
WOMEN AND MEN WHO BELIEVED SO
FIERCELY IN THE PROMISE OF
EQUALITY, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE
FOR ALL.
THIS WEEKS THE 100 ANDS HAVE
ROUGH THE PASSAGE OF THE 19TH
AMENDMENT AND WE SELL BRAT THE
WOMEN WHO FOUGHT FOR THAT RIGHT.
YET SO MANY OF THE BLACK WOMEN
WHO HELPED SEIZE CORE THAT
VICTORY WERE STILL PROHIBITED
FROM VOTING LONG AFTER ITS
RATIFICATION.
BUT THEY WERE UNDEERED 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.
THEY PAVED THE WAY FOR THE
TRAILBLAZING LEADERSHIP OF
BARACK OBAMA AND HILLARY
CLINTON.
AND THESE WOMEN INSPIRED US TO
PICK UP THE TORCH AND FIGHT ON
WOMEN LIKE DIANE NASH, CONE
STANCE BAKER, AND THE GREAT
SHIRLEY CHISM.
WE'RE NOT OFTEN TAUGHT THEIR
STORIES.
BUT AS AMERICANS, WE ALL STAND
ON THEIR SHOULDERS, AND THERE IS
ANOTHER WOMAN WHOSE NAME IS NOT
KNOWN, WHOSE STORY IS NOT SHARED
NOR WOMAN, WHOSE SHOULDERS I
STAND ON AND THIS IS MY MOTHER.
SHE CAME HERE FROM INDIA AT AGE
19 TO PURSUE HER DREAM OF CURING
CANCER.
THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
ABOUTBACKLY SHE MELT MY FATHER
DONE AL HARLEYS HAD COME FROM
JAMAICA TO STUDY ECONOMICS.
THEY FELL IN LOVE IN THAT MOST
AMERICAN WAY WHILE MARCHING
TOGETHER FOR JUSTER IS THE CIVIL
RIGHTS MOVEMENT OF THE 19 60'S
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 SLIT
AND MY MOTHER RAISED US POST
LOIN THEIR OWN.
LIKE SO MANY MOTHERS, SHE
WARNING THE CLOCK TO MAKE I IT
WORK.
PACK LUNCHES BEFORE WE WOKE UP,
PAYING BILLS AFTER WENT TO BED.
HELPING WITH US HOMEWORK A AT
THE KITCHEN TABLE AND TAKING US
TO CHURCH FOR CHOIR PRACTICE.
SHE MADE IT LOOK EASY ALTHOUGH
IT NEVER WAS.
MY MOTHER INSTILLED IN MY SISTER
MIA AND ME, THE VAL USE THIS
WOULD CHART THE COURSE OF OUR
LIVES, SHE RAISED US TO BE PROUD
, STRONG, BLACK WOMEN.
SHE RAISED US TO 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, DOUG, WHO
I MET ON A BLIND DATE, SET UP BY
MY BEST FRIEND.
FAMILY IS OUR BEAUTIFUL
CHILDREN.
COLE AND LEGAL.
FAMILY IS MY SISTER.
FAMILY IS MY BEST FRIEND, MY
NIECES AND MY GODCHILDREN.
FAMILY IS MY UNCLES, MY AUNTS,
FAMILY IS MRS. SHELTON, MY
SECOND MOTHER WHO LIVED TWO
DOORS DOWN AND HELPED RAISE ME.
FAMILY IS MY BELOVED ALPHA KAPPA
ALPHA OUR DIVINE NINE AND MY HB
CRU BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
FAMILY FRIENDSES 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 STERN OF
OUR WORLD, SHE ALSO PUSHED US TO
SEE A WORLD BEYOND OURSELVES.
SHE TAUGHT US TO BE CONSCIOUS
AND COMPASSION BAIT THE
STRUGGLES OF ALL PEOPLE, TO
BELIEVE PUBLIC SAVERS 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
ABOUT V BEEN GUIDED BY THE
WORLDS I SPOKE FROM THE FIRST
TIME I STOOD IN A COURTROOM.
I FOUGHT FOR SURVIVORS.
TOOK ON THE BIGGEST BANKS AND
HELP TAKE DOWN ONE OF THE
BIGGEST FOR PROFIT COLLEGES.
I KNOW A PREDATOR WHEN I SEE
ONE.
MY MOTHER TAUGHT NAE SERVICE TO
OTHERS GIVES LIFE PURPOSE AND
MEANING.
AND OH HOW I WISH SHE WERE HERE
TONIGHT.
BUY KNOW SHE IS LOOKING DOWN ON
ME FROM ABOVE.
I KEEP THINKING OF THAT WOMAN
WHO GAVE BIRTH TO ME.
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 WORD THAT
TEACHES ME TO WALK BY FAITH AND
NOT BY SIGHT.
TO THE ONE THAT JOE BIDEN
SHARES, A VISION OF OUR NATION
AS A BELOVED COMMUNITY, WHERE
ALL ARE HE'LL 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
INIF I NATE WORTH, DESERVING OF
COMPASSION, DIGNITY, AND
RESPECT, A COUNTRY WHERE WE LOOK
OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER WHERE WE
RISE AND FALL AS ONE, WE FACE
OUR CHALLENGES AND CELEBRATE OUR
TRIUMPHS TOGETHER.
TODAY, DONALD TRULL ANTICIPATE
FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP HAS COST
LIVANCE LIVELIHOODS.
IF YOU ARE 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'RE
DOING RIGHT NOW IS NOT WORKING.
AND WEAR NATION THAT IS
GRIEVING.
GRIEVING THE LOSS WAS LIFE.
THE LOSS OF JOBS.
YES THE LOSS OF CERTAINTY.
WHILE THIS VIRUS TOUCHES US ALL,
WE GOT TO BE HONEST.
IT IS NOT AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
OFFENDER.
BLACK, LATINO, INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
ARE SUFFERING AND DYING
DISPROPORTIONATELY.
THIS IS NOT A DEFENSE.
IT IS THREE FEK OF STRUCTURAL
RACISM.
OF INEQUITIANCE EDUCATION AND
TECHNOLOGY, HEALTH CARE, AND
HOUSING, JOB SECURITY, AND
TRANSPORTATION.
IN THE EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE BY
POLICE, AND IN OUR BROADER
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, THIS
VIRUS, ITS INTO EYES.
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 RACE.
I 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 GOT TO DO THE WORK TO FULFILL
THE PROM MITS OF EQUAL JUSTICE
UNDER LAW, BECAUSE HERE IS THE
THING, NONE OF US ARE FRY UNTIL
ALL OF RUSS FREE.
SO WITH ARE AT IN FLEXION POINT,
THE CONSTANT CHAOS LEAVES US
ADRIFT, THE INCOMPETENCE, MAKES
US FEEL AFRAID THE CALLOUSNESS,
MAKES US FEEL ALONE.
IT IS ALLOTMENT HERE IS THE
THING, WE CAN DO BETTER AND
DESERVE SO MUCH MORE AM WE MUST
ELECT A PRESIDENT WHO WILL BRING
SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SOMETHING
BRENT AND DO THE IMPORTANT WORK.
A PRESIDENT WHO WILL BRING ALL
OF US TOGETHER, BLACK, WHITE,
LATINO, ASIAN, INDIGENOUS, TO
ACHIEVE THE FUTURE WE COLLECTIVE
LY WANT.
WE MUST ELECT JOE BIDEN.
AND I WILL TELL YOU, I KNEW JOE
AS VICE PRESIDENT.
KNEW JOE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
I FIRST GOT TO KNOW JOE AS THE
FATHER OF MY FRIEND.
JOE'S SON, BOW, SERVED IN
CALIFORNIA.
DURING THE GREAT RECESSION, HE
AND I SPOKE ON THE PHONE NEARLY
EVERY DAY WORKING TOGETHER TO
WIN BACK BILLIONS OF DOLLAR
FORCE HOMEOWNERS FROM THE BIG
BANKS THAT FORECLOSED ON
PEOPLE'S HOMES.
AND BEAU AND I WOULD TALK ABOUT
HIS FAMILY.
HOW AS SINGLE FATHER, JOE WOULD
SPEND FOUR HOURS EVERYDAY RIDING
THE TRAIN BACK AND FORTH FROM
WILMINGTON TO WASHINGTON.
BE AND HUNTER GOT TO HAVE
BREAKFAST EVERY MORNING WITH
THEIR DAD.
THEY WENT TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT
WITH THINK SOUND OF HIS VOICE
READING BEDTIME STORIES.
AND WHILE THEY ENDURED AN
UNSPEAKABLE LOSS, THOSE TWO
LITTLE BOYS ALWAYS KNEW THEY
WERE DEEPLY, UNCONDITIONALLY,
LOVED.
WHAT ALSO MOVED ME, ABOUT JOE,
IS THE WORK THAT HE DID AS HE
WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH.
THIS IS THE LEADER WHO WROTE THE
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AC, AND
EN ACED THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN.
WHO HAS VICE PRESIDENT
IMPLEMENTED THE RECOVERY ACT AND
WHICH BROUGHT OUR COUNTRY BACK
FROM THE GREAT RECESSIONS.
HE CHAMPIONED THE AFFORDABLE
CARE AC.
PROTECTING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS
WITH PREEXISTING CONDITIONS.
WHO SPN DECK PRICING INTERESTS
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 OUR TRAGEDIES INTO
POLITICAL WEAPONS.
JOE WILL BE A RESPECT WHO TURNS
OUR CALL CHALLENGES INTO
PURPOSE.
JOE WILL BRING US TOGETHER TO
BUILD AM 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
RATION INJUSTICE FURTHERING THE
WORK OF GENERATIONS.
JOAN I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN BUILD
THAT BELOVED COMMUNITY, ONE THAT
IS STRONG AND DECENT, JUST JUST
AND KIND, ONE IN WHICH WE CAN
ALL SEE OURSELVES.
THAT'S THE VISION OUR PARENTANCE
GRANDPARENTS FOUGHT FOR.
THE VISION THAT MADE MY OWN LIFE
POSSIBLE.
THE VISION THAT MAKES THE
AMERICAN PROMISE FOR ALL ITS
COMPLEXITIES AND IMPERFECTION, A
PROMISE WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
WE MAY STUMBLE.
WE MAY FALL SHORT.
BUY PLEDGE TO YOU THAT WE WILL
ACT BOLDLY AND DEAL WITH OUR
CHALLENGES HONESTLY.
WE WILL SPEAK TRUTHS AND WE WILL
ACING WITH THE SAME FAITH IN YOU
THAT WE ASK TO YOU PLACE IN US.
WE BELIEVE THAT OUR COUNTRY, ALL
OF US, WILL STAND TOGETHER FOR
BETTER FUTURE.
AND WE ALREADY ARE.
WE SEE IT IN THE AREAS THE
NURSES, THE HOME HEALTH CARE
WORKERRANCE FRONT LINE WORKERS
WHO ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES TO
SAVE PEOPLE THEY NEVER MIT.
WE SEE YOU IN THE TEACHERS AND
THE TRUCK DRIVER, THE FACTORY
WORKERRANCE THE FAMMERS, THE
POSTAL WORKERRANCE POLL WORKERS
AUM PUTTING THEIR OWN SAFETY ON
THE LINE TO HELP US GET THROUGH
THIS PANDEMIC.
SO IN MANY OF YOU WHO ARE
WORKING NOT TO GET US LAWING THE
CURRENT CRISIS, BUT TO SOMEWHERE
BETTER.
THERE IS SOMETHING HAPPENING
ACROSS OUR COUNTRY.
IT IS NOT ABOUT JOE OR ME.
IT ITS ABOUT YOU.
AND IT IS ABOUT US.
PEOPLE OF ALL AGE, COLOR AND
CREEDS WHO ARE, YES, TAKING TO
THE STREETS, AND ALSO PERSUADE
SUEDING OUR FAMILY MEMBER,
RALLYING OUR FRIENDS, ORGANIZING
OUR NEIGHBORS AND GETTING OUT
THE VOTE.
AND WE HAVE SHOWN WHEN WE VOTE
WE PENSION ACCESS TO HEALTH
CARE, AND PANED ACCESS THE
BALLOT BOX AND ENSURE THAT MORE
WORKING FAMILIES CAN MAKE A
DECEN LIVING.
I AM INSPIRE BOOED BY A NEW
GENERATION.

VALUES WE SHARE.
DEEN SY, FAIRNESS, JUSTICE, AND
LOVE.
YOU ARE PATRIOTS, WHO REMIND US
THAT TO LOVE OUR COUNTRY, IS TO
FIGHT ANOTHER IDEALS OF OUR
COUNTRY IN THIS ELECTION, WE
HAVE A CHANCE TO CHANGE THE
COURSE OF HISTORY.

LET'S FIGHT WITH CONVICTION.
LET'S FIGHT WITH HOPE.

OURSELVES AND A COMMITMENT TO
EACH OTHER, TO THE AMERICA WE
