After a warm welcome from the crowd, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi began her remarks thanking Biden for his "patriotic vision of a fairer America."
"Millions of jobs. Stronger infrastructure. A Biden child tax credit. Rescuing union pensions. Honoring our veterans. Bold climate action. Lowering the costs of prescription drugs," she said of the presidency's accomplishments, calling it one of the most successful of modern times.

Pelosi said Harris is now "ready to take us to new heights."
"Officially, she is a leader of strength, with wisdom and eloquence on policy -- most recently demonstrated fighting for women’s right to choose. Politically, she is astute and strategic in winning difficult elections -- quickly securing the nomination with dignity and grace and choosing Tim Walz as our vice president," Pelosi said.
