“For 50 years, like many of you, I gave my heart and soul to our nation, and I have been blessed a million times in return with the support of the American people,”🇺🇸
POLITICS: The first night of the DNC Chicago convention opened with a bang! US President Joe Biden arrived at the podium, however, postponed by a bit of a schedule overrun. Biden, however, won the entire DNC event with his speech and quote by Norah Jones’ “American Anthem” song. President Biden reiterated the lyrics, "America, America, I gave my best to you.” The DNC crowd roared and for a very, very extended period of minutes--some chanting "Joe" with tears of joy, but already missing one of America's greatest U.S. Presidents.

Biden’s comments were poignant , moving and , otherwise, quite significant. The President exuded with his uncanny manner by which he , unfailingly, reaches people. In this hour, America , now, knows what it has meant to have a leader who is for the people. There can be no question nor doubt- the Biden administration has changed the lives of millions of Americans and made radical impact upon millions beyond the contiguous United States.
