In an emotional swansong speech at the Democratic National Convention Monday night, President Joe Biden shed tears as he endorsed Kamala Harris and described how serving as commander-in-chief was the honor of his lifetime.
The 81-year-old wiped away his tears as daughter Ashley presented him to thousands of attendees chanting “We love Joe.”
“It’s been an honor of my lifetime. I loved the job. But I love the country more,” Biden said.
Biden admitted making “a lot of mistakes” but “I gave my best to you.”
“For 50 years, like many of you, I give my heart and soul to the nation.”
The President again endorsed Harris telling the crowd that choosing her as his vice president was the “best decision” of his 53-year political career.
Throughout his speech, Biden mentioned Donald Trump and his “lies” to the convention attendees’ boos.
“Donald Trump calls America a failing nation. He’s the loser. He’s dead wrong,”
“America’s winning, and the world’s better off for it.”
