Making community colleges tuition-free for all, and making public colleges and universities tuition-free for students from families with under $125,000 in annual income.[84]
Brayden Harrington spoke on the convention's closing night.[125][131] Harrington, a 13-year-old New Hampshire boy who stutters, spoke about how, on the campaign trail during the primaries, Joe Biden had related to him about his struggles overcoming a stutter of his own, and had shared advice for how to persevere through such an impediment.[125][131]
Harrington's speech attracted significant attention, being seen as one of the highlights of the convention's final night.[131]
Kamala Harris
Joe and I believe that we can build that beloved community, one that is strong and decent, just and kind. One in which we all can see ourselves...I pledge to you that we will act boldly and deal with our challenges honestly. We will speak truths. And we will act with the same faith in you that we ask you to place in us.
In her vice-presidential nomination acceptance speech on the third night of the convention, Kamala Harris declared that she and Biden will, if elected, tackle issues facing the United States, including racial injustices.[132] Harris provided an autobiographical summary of her life and career.[132]
John Kasich
Joe Biden is a man for our times, times that call for all of us to take off our partisan hats and put our nation first.
Kasich began his speech by declaring that, "America is at a crossroads."[133] While calling himself a, "lifelong Republican", he declared that this came second to his sense of responsibility to the United States, which had compelled him to appear at the convention.[133]
Our country needs a commander in chief who takes care of our troops in the same way he would his own family...Joe Biden will be a president we will all be proud to salute. With Joe Biden in the White House, you will never doubt that he will stand with our friends and stand up to our adversaries...On day one he will restore America's leadership and our moral authority.
Powell opened his speech by briefly recounting the stories of how each of his parents immigrated to the United States from Jamaica.[146]
Powell extolled Biden as having morally strong defining values.[146] Powell praised the sort of leadership he argued that Biden would bring to the United States as president.[146] He argued Biden would, "restore America's leadership in the world and restore the alliances we need to address the dangers that threaten our nation, from climate change to nuclear proliferation."[146]
Powell described the United States as "a country divided", and argued that President Trump was, "doing everything in his power to keep up that way", arguing that Biden would be a unifier as president.[146]
Bernie Sanders
We have a president who is not only incapable of addressing these crises but is leading us down the path of authoritarianism...This election is the most important in the modern history of this country. In response to the unprecedented crises we face, we need an unprecedented response—a movement, like never before, of people who are prepared to stand up and fight for democracy and decency—and against greed, oligarchy, and bigotry. And we need Joe Biden as our next president.
