An emotional video kicks off the DemConvention touching on Joe Biden’s work on “Cancer Moonshot,” a program that he championed as vice president aimed at ending the disease that has killed tens of thousands of Americans each year, including his son, Beau.

The final night of the DNC opened with a moving, somber portrait of Biden’s personal mission to end cancer. It started during the Obama administration with Cancer Moonshot, a program to fast-track cancer research to find a cure.It featured a montage of President Kennedy talking about America going to the moon by the end of the 1960s. It also featured the death of Biden’s son Beau, who died of brain cancer, and how his son pushed him to pursue his personal policy ambitions.

Mitch McConnell also made a cameo from a previous speech in which he talked about how Biden has overcome personal tragedies and informed him as a public servant — subtly tapping into the convention’s overall theme of also reaching out to Republican voters. Focusing on Biden’s personal family history and how it informs him as a politician has been a theme of his campaign and a strength his supporters point to when Biden has one-on-one meetings with voters.This is how I’m watching the DNC tonight.

I guess, if you must go through dementia, might as well have someone who will really 'take care' of every part of you.

That video was inspiring.

Five Decades. Let me repeat it 'Five Decades' of doing nothing but talk. He's a politician that hasn't done a thing for this country. Harris will be running the country if elected. Joe will be busy taking his naps. Tell me why anyone would vote for him without mentioning TRUMP.
