On Monday night, as #Biden took the stage for his 13th #DNC, he was the torch passer. He tried to occupy this new role, one that required a recognition that his time as the party’s chief standard-bearer was nearing an end. He spoke to a crowd that #Democrats compared to those of 1960 & 2008, but w/the recognition that the catalyst was not him but the new #optimism & #joy that have overtaken the party since he stepped aside & endorsed his vice president, #KamalaHarris.
