Democratic National Convention Coverage

A former U.S. senatorial candidate says the virtual Democratic National Convention left the word God out of the nation's most famous and solemn oath. While some caucuses omitted "under God" from the pledge during DNC meetings, the line was not excluded from any of the convention's primetime spots.

PolitiFact: Mostly False

In a near-empty arena on the river in his hometown, Joe Biden accepted the Democratic nomination for president, promising hope over fear, fairness over privilege, love over hate.

And, he said, "Facts over fiction."

Let's see about that.

Joe Biden Accepts Democratic Nomination: ‘I Will Draw on the Best of Us’

David McLennan, political science professor, says Joe Biden accomplished what he needed to in his speech at the Democratic National Convention. "Joe Biden delivered probably the best speech of his political career," he said. "And the timing couldn't have been more important for him." Biden was clear, direct and optimistic, McLennan said. 

>>> IT IS NOW 74 DAYS UNTIL THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, JOE BIDEN CLOSE OUT THE CONVENTION DESCRIBING THE ELECTION, AS A FIGHT FOR THE SOUL OF AMERICA. CLINICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR, DAVID McLENNAN IS JOINING US NOW. TALK ABOUT JOE BIDEN'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH, WHAT IS YOUR TAKE, DID IT ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO?>> NOT ONLY DID THE SPEECH ACCOMPLISH WHAT IT NEEDED TO DO BUT THE ENTIRE CONVENTION DID. HE DELIVERED THE BEST SPEECH OF HIS POLITICAL CAREER AND A TIMING NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE QUESTIONS OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN ABOUT HIS CANDIDACY SEEING, THE QUESTIONS THEY RAISE BUT HE WAS CLEAR, DIRECT, OPTIMISTIC AND I THINK IT DID A REALLY GOOD JOB FOR HIS CAMPAIGN. IT SET THE TONE FOR WHAT HE WILL DO IN THE NEXT 74 DAYS.>> HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS ADDS TO THE ENERGY OF THE CAMPAIGN? >> SHE APPEALS TO DIFFERENT GROUPS WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC BASE. YOUNGER VOTERS, AND VOTERS OF COLOR. SHE APPEALS TO THEM, HER PERSONAL STORY APPEALS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT REGULARS WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. SO I THINK SHE ADDS TO THE TICKET IN WAYS THAT WILL BECOME CLEAR IN THE NEXT 74 DAYS. SHE IS JUST A GOOD SPEAKER AND IN THE DEBATE, SHE WILL DO A GREAT JOB. >> NEXT WEEK IT IS THE REPUBLICANS TURN, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT THAT THERE CONVENTION? >> I THINK WE WILL SEE A LOT OF CONTRAST BETWEEN THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AND DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION WILL REALLY FEATURE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. HE WILL BE FRONT AND CENTER, YET THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION YOU SAW A WIDE RANGE OF SPEAKERS USE A REGULAR PEOPLE AND YOU SAW PRESIDENT OBAMA, MICHELLE OBAMA, AND I DON'T THINK YOU WILL SEE THAT HAPPENING AT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. AND THE TONE IS MUCH DARKER. THE PRESIDENT AND HIS STRATEGY IS TO ATTACK JOE BIDEN AND HE IS NOT, BY NATURE, AND OPTIMISTIC KIND OF SPEAKER. SO I THINK PEOPLE WHO TUNE INTO BOTH CONDITIONS WILL SEE VERY SHARP CONTRAST. THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION WILL BE VIRTUAL

Joe Biden

Former President Barack Obama delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention that called on the America to defend democracy, and directly called out the current President Donald Trump. Obama said that Trump has, "no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves."

I never expected that my successor would embrace my vision or continue my policies. I did hope for the sake of our country that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously, that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care. But he never did. For close to four years now, he has shown no interest in putting in the work, no interest in finding common ground, no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends. No interest in treating the presidency is anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves. Donald Trump hasn't grown into the job because it can't and the consequences of that failure are some fear. Great. Here's Joe was the last one in the room. Whenever I faced a big decision, he made me a better president, and he's got the character and the experience to make us a better country. And in my friend Kamila Harris, he's chosen an ideal partner who is mawr than prepared for the job, someone who knows what it's like to overcome barriers and who's made a career fighting to help others live out their own American dream. This president and those in power, those who benefit from keeping things the way they are, they are counting on your cynicism. They know they can't win you over with their policies, so they're hoping to make it as hard as possible for you to vote and to convince you that your vote does not matter. That is how they win. That's how a democracy withers until it's no democracy at all. And we cannot let that happen. Do not let them take away your power. Do not let them take away your democracy. They believe that no one, including the president, is above the law and that no public officials, including the president, should use their office to enrich themselves or their supporters. They understand that in this democracy, the commander in chief does not use the men and women of our military who are willing to risk everything to protect our nation as political props to deploy against peaceful protesters on our own soil. They understand that political opponents aren't un American, just because they disagree with you. A free press isn't the enemy, but the way we hold officials accountable, that our ability to work together to solve big problems like a pandemic depend on a fidelity to fax and science and logic and not just making stuff up.
