Focus will be on Leadership, which means rising to meet the nation’s challenges, not making them worse. Putting the country ahead of oneself, focus on the leaders and the experts, the veterans and the activists, all those who seek to unite and not divide. It’s about making sure the government—the military, the judiciary, the scientists, everyone—is working in the national interest, not a president’s political interests. It will also include a Roll Call Across America, which will take viewers to all 57 states and territories.

A former public defender, a leading senator, and two-term vice president, Joe Biden is one of the most experienced candidates to ever seek the office. Throughout his career, he has been tested by historic recessions, global conflicts, pandemics, divisive politics, and the never-ending quest for justice and fairness in America. Every step of the way, he has risen to the moment with steady and effective leadership. According to Joe, being president doesn’t change who you are, it reveals who you are. He is a man of character and decency, and of empathy and compassion who believes in America’s promise.
On the final night of the convention, they will hear from those who can speak to Joe Biden’s leadership and character. Joe Biden will speak about his vision for uniting America to move us forward out of constant chaos and crisis, and for delivering on that promise for all.
