He also emphasized the importance of preserving democracy and urged voters to get involved in the electoral process.

    1. And then there was 2016 when it was the honour of my life to accept our party's nomination for president. And nearly 66 million Americans voted for a future where there are no ceilings on our dreams. And afterwards, we refused to give up on America, millions marched, many ran for office, and we kept our eyes on the future.
    2. And now, we are writing a new chapter in America's story.
    3. Something is happening in America, you can feel it – something we've worked for and dreamed of for a long time.
    4. The Constitution says the president's job is to 'take care that the laws be faithfully executed.' Those are the words our founders used: 'Take care.' Just look at the candidates. Kamala cares about kids, families, and America. Donald only cares about himself.
    1. Thanks to Joe and Kamala, we reduced the price of prescription drugs, repaired roads and bridges and replaced lead pipes.
    1. With faith and conviction, Joe knows our nation's strength doesn't come from intimidation or cruelty. It comes from the small acts of kindness that heal deep wounds.
    2. Joe and I have been together for almost 50 years. And still, there are moments when I fall in love with him all over again.
    1. Let us fight for the ideals we hold dear, and let us always remember, when we fight, we win!.
    1. Six years ago, I was taking omelette orders as a waitress in New York City. I didn't have health insurance. My family was fighting off foreclosure. And we were struggling with bills after my dad passed away unexpectedly from cancer.
    2. We know Donald Trump would sell this country for a dollar if it meant lining his own pockets and greasing the palms of his Wall Street friends.
    1. She's tough, she's experienced and she has enormous integrity, enormous integrity.
    2. Because of you, we've had the most extraordinary four years of progress ever, period.
    3. We both know we have more to do, but we're moving in the right direction.
    4. And all this talk about how I'm angry at all those people who said I should step down – that's not true.
    5. Selecting Kamala was the very first decision I made when I became our nominee and it's the best decision I made my whole career.
    6. Democracy has prevailed, democracy has delivered, and now democracy must be preserved.
    7. Those protesters out in the street, they have a point – a lot of innocent people are being killed, on both sides.
    8. So I ran. I had no intention of running again. I'd just lost part of my soul. But I ran with a deep conviction.
    9. When [Donald Trump] talks about America being a failing nation he says we're losing. He's the loser, he's dead wrong.
    10. I promise I'll be the best volunteer Harris and Walz's camp have ever seen.
    11. Now it is summer. The winter has passed. And with a grateful heart, I stand before you now on this August night to report that democracy has prevailed. Democracy has delivered. And now democracy must be preserved.
