Pat, we need a leader who is ready on day one

It's not because I've known Joe for so long -- it's because I know Joe so well.

Pat, before I speak at the convention tonight, let me tell you why I'm so proud to support my friend Joe Biden, and why I hope you'll chip in $10 or whatever you can afford to help make him the next President of the United States. It's not because I've known Joe for so long -- it's because I know Joe so well. I know that in this time of crisis for our democracy, our country desperately needs a leader like Joe Biden. We need a president who is ready on day one to begin the hard work of putting back together the pieces of what Donald Trump has smashed apart. And I know from experience: That's Joe. Joe Biden can repair our relationships with our allies and stand up to the strongmen on the global stage who threaten our safety and security. Joe Biden can undo the catastrophic damage that Trump has done to our economy and build it back better than ever, starting with a commitment to rebuild our middle class. Joe Biden can navigate the COVID-19 crisis and elevate the voices of scientists, public health experts, and first responders. He's done all of this before, and he's ready to do it again if elected. But he can't do it by himself, Pat -- we all need to fight alongside Joe like we've never fought before. So tonight, I'll tell the world that I'm ready to fight like hell to make sure that Joe Biden beats Donald Trump on Election Day.
