Proud & Impassioned, #Biden Passes The Torch At The #DNC

In a valedictory speech in #Chicago, the President mapped his #legacy & asked to be remembered as a man who pulled the country from the maw of #tragedy—from the #perils of #covid, of #Trump, of total paralysis in Washington.… His is an unfinished story— not yet a redemption. But, on this evening, he wound down his speech w/a favorite lyric, by Gene Scheer: “America, I gave my best to you.”
