Joe Biden and Kamala Harris just hit it out the park in historic victory speech

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

When President elect Joe Biden and Vice President elect Kamala Harris took the stage tonight, those new titles alone were enough to underscore the significance of the moment. From the moment Kamala opened her speech by quoting John Lewis, to the moment Joe closed his speech with his new tagline “Spread the faith,” it was precisely the historic night we were all hoping for and needed.

– Vice President elect Kamala Harris, wearing suffragette white, opened her victory speech by quoting John Lewis.

– Joe Biden: “For America’s educators, this is a great day: You’re going to have one of your own in the White House, and Jill is going to make a great First Lady.”

– Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were on stage to the tune of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down” at one point. Fitting.
