He also discussed those who have suffered deeply without support. "But they get up every morning, every day, they put one foot in front of the other, they keep going, that"s the unbreakable spirit of the people of America, that"s who we are."
Biden spoke of Clinton glowingly, saying that he had known her for 30 years. "Everybody knows, she"s smart, everybody knows she"s tough, but I know what she"s passionate about. I know Hillary," he said, adding, "We all understand what it will mean for our daughters and granddaughters when Hillary Clinton walks into the Oval Office as President of the United States of America," his voice rising to the cheering crowd. "It will change their lives. My daughters and granddaughters can do anything any son or grandson can do. And she will prove it."
