I am proud of him. Takes a lot to address a nation with a stutter.

I was born in Ohio....raised on the Cuyahoga River, well, until I was 5.

Then we moved to Florida. But still a Buckeye at heart!

Born in Ohio too, near Dayton.

I hope Biden wins both Ohio and Florida, but we really need Florida! Go Florida!!

He is getting out the vote pretty good in his area, and people seem to be fed up with trump, so I am hopeful.

I live in Texas now, I know, I move a lot...lol. Now we're trying to turn Texas blue and we just might! Texas used to be a blue state and it will be again!

Go Texas!

That young man was just amazing and extremely brave to put himself out like that.

It's such a contrast to Republicans making fun of disabilities to the Democrats lifting up the sacred worth of every person.

I have a grandson who stutters... much less after therapy, but it comes back when he’s tired or nervous. But when he was little, he was made fun of for it.

On national television even though he stutters. He will be such an inspiration to others for his bravery. You could see it in his eyes. He knew he did a good thing! And good for Biden for taking the time to speak with him.
