WILMINGTON, DELAWARE - Joe Biden accepted the Democratic nomination to challenge President Donald Trump, urging Americans in a prime-time-address Thursday to vote for new national leadership that will overcome deep US political divisions.
Democrats have spent three nights mixing blunt criticism of Trump as an incompetent and corrupt threat to democracy with reassuring promises that Biden, 77, has the decency and experience to tackle the pandemic and other difficult problems. "They understand the problems we face. If we give them the chance, they'll fight for us and our families every single day," he added.
Hosted by actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Thursday night's program theme is"America's Promise," touting Biden's decades of public service and featuring people who can"speak to Joe Biden's leadership and character," according to the DNC.Speakers included other former Biden competitors for the party's nomination: Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey; former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg; and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Buttigieg, who is gay, said that Biden had"stepped out ahead, even of this party, when he said that marriage equality ought to be the law of the land" and that Biden is building a coalition"standing for an America where everyone belongs."
