Former President Joe Biden speaks at portrait unveiling in Syracuse

Published | Video Starts at 35:17

Because whatever whatever my legacy may be, I hope it will be said that I never stop striving for the cause of the democracy. And I hope that long after I'm gone, future classes of Syracuse Law students see the portrait and remind it not of me, but of the greatness and power of our democracy and of their obligation to do their part to preserve, protect, defend our Constitution. God bless the state students of this university. God bless the United States of America. And may God protect our troops. Thank you. I opened by saying that President Biden and I share something.
