[Global Times Special Correspondent in the United States Xiao Qiang Global Times Special Correspondent Tang Xiang] "Biden wiped away his tears and delivered a difficult farewell speech at the Democratic National Convention, where he was originally the protagonist." The US "Politics News Network" said. On the evening of the 19th local time, US President Biden delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention in the United States, thanking his family for their support, and called on everyone to vote for Vice President Harris, calling on American society to reduce hatred, unite more and move forward, and defeat Republican presidential candidate Trump. "Mixed feelings", "sadness" and "bitterness", the US media used a series of such words to guess his mood. "Politics News Network" said that Biden got the cheers he wanted at the venue. During the nearly one-hour speech, the president was immersed in the applause of the audience-these praises came not only from the affirmation of his career or resume, but also from his decision to withdraw from the election. The New York Times said that Biden is now forced to leave. After delivering his farewell speech, Biden and his family left Chicago and went to California for vacation.

The speech was postponed

The Democratic National Convention opened in Chicago, Illinois at 18:00 local time on the 19th. The convention will last for four days and will end on the 22nd. According to the US media's announcement, Biden should deliver a speech at the convention during prime time on the evening of the 19th. The New York Times stated that the first night of the Democratic National Convention "is usually reserved for past stars of the party."
