US President Joe Biden has delivered a speech on democracy and the “soul of America” honouring the memory of late US senator John McCain who passed away in 2018.
“How we choose to see our nation, how we choose to see ourselves, how we choose to lead not only by the example of our power but by the power of our example,” Mr Biden told his audience in Phoenix, Arizona.
“Any room I walk in, and no matter what heads of state I am with, everything stops not because of Joe Biden but because I’m President of the United States of America.
“We are the essential nation – the rest of the world is looking so we have to stand up for our constitution and our institutions of democracy.
“So let’s never quit, let’s never hide from history, let’s make history … future generations would say we kept the faith.”
