Michelle Obama to highlight Biden's character in DNC speech
WASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama will call Joe Biden a “profoundly decent man” who will “tell the truth and trust science" in her Monday night convention speech, seeking to draw a sharp contrast between President Donald Trump and her husband’s two-term vice president.
"He knows what it takes to rescue an economy, beat back a pandemic and lead our country," Mrs. Obama says in an advance excerpt of her speech. “He will make smart plans and manage a good team, and he will govern as someone who’s lived a life that the rest of us can recognize.”
It's part of what longtime adviser Valerie Jarrett says is set to be a speech emphasizing Biden's competency and character in contrast to the Republican incumbent.
“This election is very personal for her,” Jarrett told The Associated Press. “She's going to take this opportunity to speak about Vice President Biden in two ways: competency, which she had a chance to observe first-hand while he served as her husband's vice president, but also his profoundly decent character.”
