I’ve lost myself many times. But now, let’s give each other a chance,” he later added in his comment, “This is the time to heal in America.”
Biden paid tribute to his deep faithBy quoting Bible verses and a famous psalm, Byden said, “And it will raise you up on the wings of an eagle, it will bear you on the breath of a parown, and it will sigh you like the sun and hold you in the palm of its hand.” Now, together on the wings of the eagle we begin the work that God and history have called us to do with a full heart and steady hand. America and with trust in each other. With love of country, thirst for justice. Let us be the nation we know we can be. One nation became one. Strengthen a nation. Healing a Nation United States of America f America, Women and Gentlemen. It never happened, which did something we didn’t try to do.
Harris pointed out the importance of his place on stage: Senator Harris of California, who will make history as the first woman, the first black person and the first person of South Asian descent to become vice president, said, “When I’m the first woman in this office fee, I’m not the last, because every little girl sees tonight.” Is that this is a country of possibilities. Harris also thanked black women that they “are often overlooked, but often prove that they are the backbone of our democracy.”
