My fellow americans, this is my country. Many of us have fought hard for the right to say that. Many are now struggling today, so let me say this with conviction. This is our country. We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We must make the American People hear our tail of two cities. We must convince them we dont have to settle for two cities. We can have one city, indivisible shining for all of its people. If you give us a chance, we can perform. After all Ginger Rogers did everything that fred astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels. There is not a liberal america and a conservative america. There is the United States of america. There is not a black america and a White America and Latino America ah, and asianamerican. Theres the United States of america. The American Dream is not a sprint or even a marathon but a relay. Our families dont always cross the finish line in the span of one generation, but each generation

Injustice, building on the case shes made when she was announced as bidens vp pick just one week ago. When we look at someone like the current occupant of the white house, again, he has not been lifting folks up. Joe and what we are about is about lifting people up, understanding that the strength of a leader is based on not who you beat down, but who you lift up. His empathy, his compassion, his sense of duty to care for others, is why i am so proud to be on this ticket. He knows, and he cares about the fact that we have, as a nation, witnessed 165,000 people who just in the last few months have died in our country. So what real leadership looks like is joe biden. To speak up, sometimes telling us the stuff that we dont necessarily want to hear, but we need to know. Harris is the candidate that the Trump Campaign viewed as the most skilled and in a clear sign of their concerns, or maybe its just how they roll at this point, the racist and sexist smears against her from trump and his b
You got the dynamic duo here for the power hour. Chris cuomo and d lemon and cnns special coverage of night three of the dnc. We are, now, less than 24 hours away from what has to be the main event. The president ial nominee, himself, joe biden, delivering his convention address. Don. His running mate, none other than senator Kamala Harris. Really, she was the star of the show on this third night. Putting her name in the history books, as the first woman of color to accept the nomination on a major Party President ial ticket. And she brings a lot. I mean, obviously, you know, being black, being indian. Her background. And she is a straight puncher. And she will go right at donald trump, step for step. Joe biden will need that. That is not his strength. Now, what really captured the moment tonight, for the context of what a harris biden ticket means, was former president barack obama.
