"Who Does He Think He Is?" Joe Biden Blasts Donald Trump In Fiery Speech

In a charged and emotional farewell speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, President Joe Biden delivered a scathing critique of former President Donald Trump, labelling him a "loser" and vigorously defending his own legacy. 

Mr Biden, who recently announced his decision to step aside from the 2024 presidential race, received a thunderous ovation from the crowd, which chanted "We love you, Joe," in a show of solidarity.

"Donald Trump says we are losing, but he is the loser," Mr Biden declared, drawing a stark contrast between his administration's achievements and what he described as the failures of the Trump presidency. "He is dead wrong. Name a country in the world that does not think we are the leading nation in the world. Who could lead the world if not us?"

The 81-year-old Biden, visibly moved, spoke at length about the challenges he faced and the progress made during his presidency. His speech was punctuated by moments of reflection on the state of American democracy and the stakes of the upcoming election. "We are in a battle for the very soul of America," Mr Biden said.

Kamala Harris, America's first female, Black, and South Asian vice president, has taken a lead over Mr Trump in the polls.

In her brief but powerful remarks, Ms Harris expressed gratitude to Mr Biden, saying, "We are forever grateful to you." She praised his leadership and commitment to the country, setting the stage for her own formal acceptance of the party's nomination later in the week. With Beyonce's "Freedom" blaring from loudspeakers during her entrance on stage, Ms Harris said, "I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible president Joe Biden."
