When Joe Biden traveled to Miami Beach for his first Democratic National Convention in 1972, his presence generated little more than a footnote.

The outgoing president will deliver the keynote address on the first night of the convention. His decision to end his bid for a second term has reshaped his goals for the DNC.

President Biden is scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention Monday night after dropping out of the presidential race back in July. His speech is expected to be a passing of the torch to the next generation.
