Former Vice President Joe Biden accepted the presidential nomination on this year’s party ticket on Thursday at the fourth and final night of the Democratic National Convention.
Joe Biden takes the stage for a series of concluding remarks for the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

"Too much anger, too much fear, too much division. Here and now, I give you my word: If you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us, not the worst. I'll be an ally of the light, not the darkness. It's time for us — for we the people — to come together," Biden set in motion. He then accepts the nomination for President of the United States and said:

"The current president's cloaked American darkness for much too long," Biden said of the current administration. He continued by lauding former President Barack Obama. "A president our children could and did look up to. No one's going to say that about the current occupant of the White House," Biden said.

"He's failed to protect us," he said of President Donald Trump. "He's failed to protect America."

He hinted things would only get worse if Trump remains president. "You know what will happen," he began. "Cases and deaths will remain far too high. More mom and pop businesses will close their doors and this time, for good. Working families will struggle to get by, and still, the 1% will get tens of billions of dollars in new tax breaks."
