Joe Biden appeared emotional during his speech on the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where he also took aim at Donald Trump, calling him a "loser." Biden, who recently withdrew from the race for a second term, spoke about his presidency, admitting to having made mistakes but emphasizing that he gave his best for the United States.
Biden was met with overwhelming applause and cheers as he entered the main hall of the United Center, with many shouting, "We love you, Joe!" and "Thank you, Joe!" In his speech, Biden praised his Vice President, Kamala Harris, calling his choice of her as his running mate in 2020 the "best decision of my career." He also expressed confidence in Harris's ability to be a great president, referring to their close friendship and collaboration over the years.
The crowd's enthusiasm grew even stronger when Biden wiped away tears and embraced his daughter, ending his speech with a heartfelt "thank you."
