I want to thank my partner, Joe Biden, who campaigned his heart.

He spoke for the men and women on the streets and rode with on that train home to Delware.

Thank you for the vice-president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

And I would not be standing here without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years.

She is the rock of our family, the love of my life.

The nation's next first lady, Michelle Obama.

And my daughter, Sasha and Milia.

I love you both more than you can imagine.

My sister Maya and Alma, all my other sisters and brothers.

Thank you for the support that you've given me.

I'm sincerely grateful to them.
