The Biden-Harris ticket is ‘DNC approved.’
Yesterday (8/20/20), Joe Biden officially accepted the Democratic party’s nomination for president – more than 30 years after his first run for it. He said the US was facing “four historic crises” – the coronavirus pandemic, the economic crisis, racial injustice, and climate change. But that the country can “overcome this season of darkness.” And promised a new plan to fight COVID-19 on day one of his presidency – including a national mask mandate. He also said character, compassion, and science are “on the ballot.” Biden, who would be the oldest president to take office if he wins, was introduced by his children Hunter and Ashley – and clips of his son Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015. His acceptance capped off night four of the DNC, which showed there’s no party like a virtual party. Read all HERE.
President Trump is officially running for reelection.
Now it’s official, official. Yesterday, Trump formally accepted the Republican nomination for president at the White House in front of more than 1,500 people. In his speech, the president appealed to evangelicals and praised his admin for: bringing troops home, obliterating “100% of the ISIS caliphate,” getting the “first Middle East peace deal,” confirming two new Supreme Court justices, doing more for Black people “than any president since Abraham Lincoln,” and fixing the economy “before the China virus came in.” He also called out Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden (and his 47-year tenure) for just about everything, adding that “we’re here and they’re not.” His acceptance capped off night four of the RNC – which was all about location, location, location.
