First day of the Democrat Assembly; Biden backs Vice President Harris

Presented by his daughter Ashley, President Joe Biden was hosted as a hero by delegates calling: “Thank you, Joe!”

At the National Democrat Assembly in Chicago of Illinois, he fulfilled his promise to pass the leadership staff...

Are you ready to choose Kamala Harris and Tim Walzin? ”He asked the delegates.

The president gave full support to Mrs. Harris as the party's official candidate for the November elections.

It will be a president who will serve as an inspiration to our children. She will be a respected president by world leaders and they respect her right now. She'll be a president we can all pride in and be a historic president who will shape America's future”President Biden said.

President Beden nominated during the preliminary elections in the Democratic Party. Nearly a month ago, the 4 thousand delegates were expected to vote for him as an official candidate for president. But on Monday, he gave support to Mrs. Harris, while noting his achievements during his term.

“CO VID no longer controls our lives. We've gone from economic crisis to the strongest economy in the world. With a record 60 million new jobs, with a record small business growth, stock exchanges, private pension schemes, salaries, lowering inflation”President Biden said.

This new reality for the presidential race began with the debate in front of the republican candidate, former President Donald Trump, in late June. President Biden, now 81, had a discouraging presentation that prompted people to question his mental keenness.

In addition, an assassination against former President Trump brought the republics closer together and gave him a further boost at the national level of support.

For several weeks, President Biden insisted that he would continue running, though party leaders were asking him privately to withdraw from the race.

“Joe Biden is a president with a mandate that was forced by the leaders of the Democratic Party to give up the candidacy. Although he won the preliminary elections, he is now required to enthusiastically support his vice president, Kamala Harris. You don't have to be Sigmund Freud to figure out how duplicated he might feel”Says Thomas Schwartz, of Vanderbilt University.

President Biden showed no signs of duplication and gave full support to Mrs. Harris while enjoying the warmth and gratitude of his party. The Voice of America spoke with some of the delegates present.

It was a nice speech. A wonderful speech. Crowning years of public service”Says Julia Locke, delegate from Georgia.

His legacy is strong and positive. Today he showed the American public why he loved him and what he did for 50 years in the ministry of our country. An extraordinary historical”Jim Costa says delegate from California.

This warmth continued despite former President Trump's efforts to boost division among the Democrats.

He was forced to leave. It was a rash. We had a rash. The first in our country's history”Said former President Trump.

President Beden reiterated the democratmatic that Mrs. Harris, under a former superior profession, will face Mr. Trump, who has been found guilty by the court for criminal acts.

And the crime will lose ground when we send a prosecutor to the Oval Office, instead of a convict for criminal acts”President Biden said.

He completed his speech with full support for Mrs. Harris, reaffirming his role as a Democrat leader who can save the country again, but this time passing the staff.

“Joe, thank you for your historical guidance, for a lifetime of service to our country, and for everything else you'll continue to do. Be grateful forever”, Democrat candidate for president Kamala Harris said. / VOA
