President-elect Joe Biden wore his emotions on his sleeve during a farewell speech to supporters one day before taking office.

Biden thanked the people of his home state for their support through every up and down, tearing up as he said, “I am proud, proud, proud, proud to be a son of Delaware, and I'm even more proud to be standing here at the Major Beau Biden facility. Ladies and gentlemen, I only have one regret. [Beau’s] not here. Because we should be introducing him as president.”
