Trump quickly reacts to Biden acceptance speech: 'Just words!'
President Trump wasted little time Thursday night in responding to Joe Biden's formal acceptance of the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.
"In 47 years, Joe did none of the things of which he now speaks," Trump wrote on Twitter soon after the speech. "He will never change, just words!"
Biden's acceptance of the nomination was a crowning achievement in his five-decade political career. In his speech from his home state of Delaware, he promised to restore the "soul of America" and deliver the nation from what he described as "darkness."
The 77-year-old former vice president said Trump has failed in his basic duty to protect Americans and pledged to get a handle on the coronavirus that has killed more than 170,000 people and placed the country on an economic downward spiral.
"He's failed to protect us. He's failed to protect America and, my fellow Americans, that is unforgivable," Biden said of Trump. "As president, I'll make you a promise: I'll protect Americans. I will defend us from every attack -- seen and unseen -- always, without exception, every time."

Biden also blamed Trump for stoking anger and division in America, and pledged to bring the country back into the "light."
Trump and the Republicans will get a chance to make their case to the public when they hold their convention beginning next Monday. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.
