Jill Biden's Democratic National Convention speech: Joe Biden will make a 'broken' nation whole
"How do you make a broken family whole? The same way you make a nation whole. With love and understanding-and with small acts of compassion. With bravery. With unwavering faith," said Biden, recounting how she met her future husband shortly after his first wife and baby daughter were killed in a car crash in 1972.
But Jill Biden did not mention Trump at all, not even in passing. Instead, she focused on her husband, her family, and her optimistic vision of America. But unlike many of the marquis speakers thus far in the convention, Biden spoke live, not in a prerecorded video. She also spoke from a meaningful location: The actual classroom at Brandywine High School in Wilmington, Delaware, where she taught English from 1991-1993.
"The concern of every person working without enough protection. The despair in the lines that stretch out before food banks, and the indescribable sorrow that follows every lonely last breath when the ventilators are turned off."
