He waited for several minutes for the cheering to die down before he could start speaking. When the applause finally calmed, he said: ‘Folks, let me ask you: are you ready to vote for freedom?’ The audience shouted ‘yes!’ in response. Just one month after withdrawing from the presidential race, Biden delivered a reflective and optimistic address, urging the nation to elect Kamala Harris to protect American democracy.

  7. Thank you President Biden!! What a wonderful speech and I will continually stand proudly by my decision to support you in 2020 🇺🇲🫡 oute faamalo atu i lau afioga le Peresitene ole United States! Malo le toa, malo le tau! Faafetai tele lava mo galuega lelei sa e faia e faaalualu i luma le tatou atunuu. O le a iloaina oe o se Peresitene e sili ona lelei, malo lava. Faafetai lava Peresitene, ia faamanuia le Atua ia oe. Ia faaopoopo foi le Atua nisi aso e tele i lou soifuaga 🙏🏽🇺🇲

  22. Thank you so much President Biden you gave us true leadership and decency at a time of great need and you reminded Americans how American presidents should act and that presidents are there as an elected person of the people and not as a King

  26. "those protesters outside they have a point" this goes to show that he understands even though it is not completely all within his powers to abruptly stop the war.

  30. Another example of the "pass the torch" headline. How can anyone not look at this as a complete sham? The lie is as plain as the nose on their face. Americans are not dumb people, everyone has to see it for what this is. A coup.
