While in Warm Springs, he encouraged unity, saying: “Too many among us spend more time shouting than listening, more time fighting than working together, more time demonizing and denigrating others, rather than lifting them up… Has the heart of the nation turned to stone? … I refuse to believe it.”

Biden told the Warm Springs crowd: “Though broken, each of us can be healed.”
He said the country can overcome the virus and “heal a suffering world.” He also emphasized that he believes “God and history have called us to this moment and this mission with our voices and our votes.”
For his Atlanta rally, he spoke outside the Cellairis Amphitheater. Musical artists Common and Offset performed at the event.
Biden told the crowd: “There aren’t a lot of pundits who would have guessed four years ago that the Democratic candidate for president in 2020 would be campaigning in Georgia on the final week of the election.”
