Brayden Harrington, a 13-year-old boy, gave Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden his wholehearted endorsement Thursday evening as he addressed the nation at the virtual Democratic National Convention.⁠

Brayden and Biden, it turns out, are both stutterers, and Biden met with the teen to talk about that condition earlier this year in New Hampshire.⁠

“It was really amazing to hear someone like me became vice president,” Brayden said, referring to Biden’s post in President Barack Obama’s administration.⁠

Sitting in front of a Biden for President sign, Brayden read off of cards he said he marked up in the special way that the newly minted presidential nominee showed him, in order to make it easier to read aloud. (Back in February, Biden explained that he breaks up the lines on the page with slash marks.) ⁠

“He told me about a book of poems by Yeats he would read out loud to practice,” Brayden added.⁠

He continued: “And now I’m here talking to you today about the future. About our future. My family often says the world feels better by talking about something normal, like going to the movies. We all want the world to feel better. We need the world to feel better.”⁠

“I’m just a regular kid,” he said, albeit a kid who spoke at the biggest Democratic political event of the year, “and in a short amount of time, Joe Biden made me more confident about something that’s bothered me my whole life. Joe Biden cared. Imagine what he could do for all of us.”⁠
