• Joe Biden officially accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday night with the most significant speech of his career.
• The former vice president used his speech to lay out his broad policy agenda, ranging from healthcare to climate change, and framed himself as a bipartisan leader for a fractured country. 
• "America's entered an inflection point: a time of real peril, but also extraordinary possibilities," he said. "This election will determine what America will look like for a long, long time."
• He accused Trump of failing to address four concurrent crises: the pandemic, the economic collapse, racial inequity, and climate change. 
• "Our president has failed in his most basic duty to the nation: he's failed to protect us," he said. "And that is unforgivable."
