Throughout the night, various people expressed their sentiments towards President Donald Trump in their speeches such as HRC President Chad Griffin who said:
“I don’t have to tell any of you that we are living through truly frightening times. Day after day, we’ve seen our most fundamental rights under attack by the highest levels of government, and the headlines couldn’t be any worse."

“The President uses the White House as a literal bully pulpit.”
As he delivered his address, people began to chant “Run Joe Run!” throughout the auditorium. However, Biden has yet to confirm that he’ll run against Trump in 2020.
