The Democratic National Convention looked much different than any convention we have ever seen.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the party held a "virtual convention" instead of meeting in Milwaukee as originally planned. Speakers delivered their remarks each night from locations around the country. Many of the segments, including musical performances, were pre-recorded.
Presidential nominee Joe Biden delivered his acceptance speech Thursday night from his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.
"Here and now, I give you my word: If you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us, not the worst," Biden said. "I'll be an ally of the light, not the darkness. It's time for us — for we the people — to come together."
