Hillary Clinton addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Monday, launching a fierce critique of former US President Donald Trump and asserting that the Democrats have 'him on the run'. Clinton commended Kamala Harris's leadership, highlighting her commitment to the American people. 'Kamala cares deeply about children, families, and the nation. Donald, on the other hand, only cares about himself,' Clinton stated.
Clinton recalled Harris's inaugural courtroom words, 'Kamala Harris, for the people,' which she said Trump would never comprehend. She noted Trump's attempts to discredit Harris's record and demean her personally, but emphasized that 'we have him on the run now'. The convention crowd responded with chants of 'lock him up!' as Clinton detailed Trump's legal challenges, including his unprecedented 34 felony convictions.
Clinton urged the Democrats to maintain their focus and fight for truth and for Kamala Harris, who will fight for them. She spoke of the progress made in breaking through the 'highest, hardest glass ceiling' and the imminent possibility of Kamala Harris becoming the 47th president of the United States. Clinton encouraged her party to persist in their mission to elect a woman as president, a goal she hopes will be achieved.
The Democratic National Convention commenced in Chicago, with former US President Barack Obama scheduled to speak on Tuesday. The event will feature various themes, including 'A Bold Vision for the Future' and 'A Fight for Freedom', with notable speakers such as Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Doug Emhoff. Kamala Harris's running mate, Mike Waltz, will accept the vice-presidential nomination on Wednesday, while Harris herself will accept the presidential nomination on Thursday.
