“Thank you, Joe #Biden, for your leadership,” Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (#AOC) said shortly after.
“Let’s salute President #JoeBiden,” #HillaryClinton said. “He has been #democracy’s champion at home & abroad.”

As the evening switched to focus on Biden, his family was a constant presence. Sen Chris Coons quoted Biden’s mother (“You’re defined by your courage & redeemed by your loyalty”), talked about Biden’s record, & thanked #JillBiden as the crowd held aloft green signs that read, “JILL.”
