OnPolitics: What will Joe Biden say tonight?

The Democratic National Convention will end tonight, after Joe Biden formally accepts his party's nomination.

After a half-century in public office, former Vice President Joe Biden is set to accept the Democratic Party's nomination to challenge President Donald Trump in the Nov. 3 election.

Biden is expected to promote his experience 36 years in the Senate and eight years in the White House with former President Barack Obama. Bidden will contrast himself to Trump as a calming example of effective leadership, after what he calls four years of chaos and crisis.

Biden is also expected to describe his history overcoming hardship, from the stutter of his youth to the deaths of his first wife and infant daughter in a car crash, and adult son from a brain tumor.
