Former President Barack Obama delivered a powerful keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention, emphasizing the importance of electing leaders who care about blue-collar workers. He praised Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as advocates for essential workers and champions of better wages and working conditions. The crowd responded with chants of “yes, she can” in support of Harris.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama also spoke at the convention, urging voters not to be foolish and to take action by supporting Harris and Walz. She emphasized the need to move away from fear and division towards a brighter future.
The convention featured performances and speeches, including a heartwarming story from Doug Emhoff about his first date with Kamala Harris. The couple celebrated their 10th anniversary, with Emhoff sharing a touching voicemail he left for Harris years ago.
While Harris did not appear at the convention in Chicago, she held a rally in Milwaukee and watched the speeches remotely. Obama encouraged Democrats to work together to elect Harris and Walz as the next president and vice president of the United States.
In addition, the convention showcased a celebratory roll call, featuring music representing each state. Stephanie Grisham, a former White House press secretary under Trump, criticized her former boss for his lack of empathy and morals.
Overall, the convention highlighted the enthusiasm and support for Harris and Walz among Democrats. With only 77 days left until voting day, the focus is on uniting to build a more secure, just, and free America.
