“America is the most unique nation in the world. Unlike any other country, we are built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? We are all equal,” he wrote.

Despite his health problems, Biden ended his message with determination. He remembered his father’s advice on how to bounce back from setbacks.

“Champ, when you get knocked down, stand up,” Biden was quoted as saying.

The former US president said he intends to follow that lesson. He also expressed his belief in American democracy and equality.
