| Today we mark seven years since white supremacists descended on Charlottesville, Virginia. The hate summoned on that day is forever etched in my memory. The images of torches illuminating crazed, angry faces and swastika armbands. The sounds of the same anti-semitic bile as heard in Nazi Germany. And the memory of a young woman, a bystander, killed for standing up to them. In that darkest of moments, a stunned nation looked to Donald Trump. And do you remember what he said? There were "very fine people on both sides." And that's when I decided I had to run for president. I had to keep my promise to my son Beau. I had to defeat Donald Trump and lead the battle for the soul of America. Well, that battle continues today. We can't allow hate to be given safe harbor on our shores. We can't let the MAGA movement succeed at ripping away our freedoms and destroying our democracy. I know that Kamala and Tim can finish the job we started together. Let's remember who we are, Jason. We are the United States of America, and there is nothing we can't accomplish if we stand together. Keep the faith, Joe Joe Biden
President of the United States
