'America, America, I gave my best to you': Biden
Biden closed his speech by citing a verse from the song "American Anthem," which he says has meant a lot to him and his family.
He said he would spare the crowd his singing so just quoted the verse: "America, America, I gave my best to you."

"I gave my best to you for 50 years," Biden said. "I hope you know how grateful I am to all of you."
He ended his speech saying he's more optimistic about the future than he was when he was first elected to the Senate at the age of 29.
"Folks, we just have to remember who we are," he said. "We're the United States of America. And there's nothing we cannot do when we do it together."
