The New York Daily News features Bill Clinton on its cover and says he “wows crowd” at the Democratic National Convention.
Bill Clinton said:
“Last night, Hillary told us in no uncertain terms that she is going to do everything she can to elect Barack Obama,” the former President said.
“That makes two of us,” he said, bringing delegates to their feet.
Below is the text of Biden’s speech from last night’s convention:
Beau, I love you. I am so proud of you. Proud of the son you are. Proud of the father you’ve become. And I’m so proud of my son Hunter, my daughter Ashley, and my wife Jill, the only one who leaves me breathless and speechless at the same time.
It is an honor to share this stage tonight with President Clinton. And last night, it was moving to watch Hillary, one of the great leaders of our party, a woman who has made history and will continue to make history: my colleague and my friend, Senator Hillary Clinton.
Barack Obama made a surprise appearance following Joe Biden’s speech tonight.
Joe Biden’s wife Jill told Joe that there was a surprise guest after Biden completed his speech.
Bill Clinton’s remarks as prepared before his speech:
I am honored to be here tonight to support Barack Obama. And to warm up the crowd for Joe Biden, though as you’ll soon see, he doesn’t need any help from me. I love Joe Biden, and America will too.
What a year we Democrats have had. The primary began with an all-star line up and came down to two remarkable Americans locked in a hard fought contest to the very end. The campaign generated so much heat it increased global warming.
In the end, my candidate didn’t win. But I’m very proud of the campaign she ran: she never quit on the people she stood up for, on the changes she pushed for, on the future she wants for all our children. And I’m grateful for the chance Chelsea and I had to tell Americans about the person we know and love.
I’m not so grateful for the chance to speak in the wake of her magnificent address last night. But I’ll do my best.
