Biden supporter, Karen Eliadis said Dr. Biden spoke about "how Joe will help us and he will be persistent in how he will lead our country."

After the speech, Dr. Biden did not take questions from the crowd and did not speak about the whistleblowers complaint.

"I really think that it really is a Trump issue rather than a Biden issue," said Eliadas.

Back in the Bay Area, voters of different ages whose top choice is Biden had some ideas to make him a hotter ticket.
