Biden passes the baton to Harris, says she will be a 'historic president' & respected by world leaders

CHICAGO: US President Joe Biden has passed the baton of the Democratic Party to Kamala Harris and urged Americans to vote for her, saying she will be a "historic president" who is tough, experienced and respected by world leaders.

Biden, who received a standing ovation when he came on stage at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Monday night, said choosing Harris as his running mate in 2020 was the "best decision" he made in his whole career.

“She’ll be a president our children can look up to. She’d be a president respected by world leaders because she already is. She’d be a president we can all be proud of. And she’d be a historic president who puts her stamp on America’s future,” Biden said.
