-Welcome. -Welcome.
-Welcome. -To the second night.
-Of the Democratic National Convention.
-This year. -All of us are on stage.
-You built this country.
-You deserve more than the constant chaos
that Donald Trump delivers.
-You deserve health care you can afford,
a job that pays you fairly.
You deserve childcare and paid sick leave while you work.
-A new generation of leaders is rising up.
-And with Joe Biden in the White House,
there's no limit to what we can do.
-With the COVID-19 outbreak on a path
to killing 200,000 people, how did Donald Trump respond?
At first, he said the virus was under control
and would soon disappear.
When it didn't, he was on TV every day,
bragging on what a great job he was doing.
-From the moment President Trump took office,
he's used his position to benefit himself
rather than our country.
-Donald Trump inherited a growing economy
and a more peaceful world,
and like everything else he inherited, he bankrupted it.
-He even hid in a bunker
as Americans were teargassed and beaten.
-He's trampled the rule of law,
trying to weaponize our justice department
to attack his enemies and protect his friends.
-Just one thing never changes -- his determination
to deny responsibility and shift the blame.
-When this president goes overseas,
it isn't a goodwill mission.
It's a blooper reel.
He breaks up with our allies
and writes love letters to dictators.
-He's even trying to sabotage our postal service
to keep people from being able to vote.
-We need a president with dignity, integrity,
and the experience to lead us out of this crisis.
That man is my friend Joe Biden.
-There are those who want to tells us
that our country is hopelessly divided,
that our differences are irreconcilable,
but that's not what I've seen over these last few months.
We have shown that the heart of this nation
still beats with kindness.
-In a time when millions of people in the United States
are looking for deep, systemic solutions to our crises
of mass evictions, unemployment, and lack of health care,
I hereby second the nomination of Senator Bernard Sanders
of Vermont for president of the United States of America.
-I take powerful people up on my elevator all the time.
When they get off, they go to their important meetings.
Me? I just head back to the lobby.
But in the short time I spent with Joe Biden,
I could tell he really saw me.
-Joe's tackled gun violence and climate change.
-Faced with a president of cowardice, Joe Biden
is a man of proven courage.
-He stood up to dictators and supported our troops.
-A steady, experienced public servant.
-He led the recovery effort after the last recession
and delivered on a promise
to make our health-care system fairer and stronger.
-That's why I nominate my friend Joe Biden.
-It's my honor to second the nomination
of my good friend, Joe Biden.
-As the next president of the United States.
-It's time to begin our virtual trip around America.
-Alabama casts eight votes for Bernie Sanders.
-57 votes for Bernie Sanders.
-Nine votes for Bernie Sanders. -44 votes for Bernie Sanders.
-And the great state of Alabama casts 52 votes
for our next president of these United States, Joe Biden.
-And 192 votes. -43 votes.
-92 votes. -51.
-83 votes.
-277. -83 votes.
-22 votes for our next president.
-Joe Biden!
-Delaware is proud to cast its 32 votes
for our favorite son and our next president.
-Our friend, Delaware's Joe Biden.
-Alright. Hey, guys.
-Thank you to all our delegations.
I'm pleased to announce that Vice President Joe Biden
has officially been nominated by the Democratic party
as our candidate for president of the United States.
-Thank you very, very much.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all.
It means the world to me and my family,
and I'll see you on Thursday.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
