In the nationwide broadcast, Kenyatta emphasized his personal connection to Biden, recalling the former Vice President’s early support for gay marriage.

When I wanted to marry the man I loved, Joe Biden was the first national figure to support me and my family,” Kenyatta said, as his fiancé, Matthew Miller, made a cameo appearance from their living room.

“Appreciate you, man,” Miller added.

Biden was among the first high-ranking party leaders to come out in support of gay marriage in 2012, ahead of then-President Barack Obama.

Kenyatta supported Biden during his 2020 presidential bid and appeared in one of his campaign videos earlier this year, The Temple News reported.

He endorsed Biden early in his presidential bid, joined by fellow state legislators Brendan Boyle, Conor Lamb and Chrissy Houlahan. Lamb and Boyle were also among the 17 address speakers.
