US President Joe Biden could not hold back his tears during his farewell speech to his party at the Democratic National Convention held in Chicago, USA.
His daughter Ashley hugged Biden for a long time.
Biden, who withdrew his candidacy a month ago under pressure from party members due to concerns about his health, attacked Donald Trump in his speech and called for full support for Kamala Harris.
As party members in the hall chanted "Thank you, Joe," Biden responded by saying, "America, I love you."
Democratic US presidential nominee Kamala Harris and vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz also stood up, joining the crowd in giving Biden a standing ovation to perform their 'final duty' to him.
Although Biden's aides do not characterize this speech as a farewell, many believe this moment is one of the final major stage appearances of Biden’s 50-year political career.
This convention will go down in history as a sign that an era has ended within the Democratic Party and a new leadership has begun.
