“I will get the best of us, not the worst.” Biden wants to be president of light – ČT24 – Czech Television

“I accept the nomination for the office of President of the United States with great honor and humility,” said Biden, 70, in a speech that commentators have identified as the most important in his 50-year political career.

He promised to be president not only of those who cast his vote in the November 3 election, but of all US citizens. “Together we can overcome and overcome the Dark Ages in America,” he said in a video broadcast from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, at a convention in Milwaukee. “I give you my word here and now: if you entrust me with the office of President, I will get the best of us, not the worst.”


He also promised to unite a deeply divided country, bring the coronavirus pandemic under control and create millions of jobs. It also intends to find an answer to “racist inequality” in American society and to resolutely fight climate change. He did not mention the name of current President Trump during his roughly twenty-minute speech, AFP noted.

“For too long, the current president has shrouded America in darkness. Too much anger, too much fear, too much division. Now and here I give you my word: if you entrust me with the presidency – I will be an ally of light, not darkness. It is time for us, the people, to unite. And don’t worry, united, we can overcome and overcome this time of darkness in America, “he said.

Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg was one of the politicians who tried to get a democratic nomination for Biden. He also spoke at the congress to support the party nominee. “The ring on my hand proves that this country can change,” he said, referring to his homosexual orientation.

Buttigieg has been married to his partner Chasten for two years. Biden spoke out in favor of supporting gay unions before his party officially did so. “Love makes my marriage real, but political courage has made it possible,” he added.
