DNC Day 1: President Biden says 'America is winning' and Trump is a 'loser'

Biden kicked off his remarks after a long standing ovation from the crowd peppered with cheers of "We love Joe!" and "Thank you, Joe!"

He thanked his daughter for her introduction and gave shout-outs to his family, especially their "rock" first lady Jill Biden.

"My dad used to have an expression for real. He'd say, 'Joey, family is the beginning, the middle and the end.' And I love you all. And America, I love you," he said to loud applause.

"Let me ask you, are you ready to vote for freedom? Are you ready to vote for democracy and for America? Let me ask you, are you ready to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz?" Biden continued

President Joe Biden wiped away tears as he approached the DNC stage to a standing ovation.

He embraced his daughter Ashley and thanked the crowd.

"I love you, thank you," he said.

Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, called the president the "O.G. girl dad" in her remarks introducing him.

"He wasn't just a girl dad. I could see that he valued and trusted women," she said. "How he listened to his mother, how he believed in his sister, and most of all, how he respected my mother's career."

She continued, "Dad, you always tell us, but we don't tell you enough that you are the love of our lives and the life of our love."

First lady Jill Biden talked about her husband's kindness and devotion to helping others during his years of service.

She noted that she she "saw him dig deep into his soul and decide to no longer seek reelection and endorse Kamala Harris."

Jill Biden said that she and her family valued Harris for years, given the kinship the vice president had with Beau Biden.

"We have seen her courage, her determination and her leadership up close. Kamala and Tim, you will win, and you are inspiring a new generation," she said.

"We will fight, and we will win together," the first lady added.
