"I gave my best to you": Joe Biden passes the torch in emotional DNC speech

Salon  

President Joe Biden on Monday gave a heartfelt goodbye at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The crowd erupted in chants of “We love Joe,” and “Thank you Joe,” as the president thanked the crowd nearly a dozen times before beginning his address. Throughout the speech, Biden listed his accomplishments and reiterated his support for Vice President Kamala Harris, stating his belief in her ability to beat Republican nominee Donald Trump in November. “We are forever grateful to you.” In his nearly hour-long speech, Biden also clarified that he was not angry at people who said he should step down, and made it clear the focus was on beating Trump in November. “What shall our legacy be, what will our children say, let me know in my heart when my days are through, America, America, I gave my best to you,” he said, "For 50 years, like many of you, I gave my heart and soul to our nation,” the president added before the crowd erupted in cheers once more.
