The former president and Michelle they stood tightly behind Harris
Trump is a 78-year-old billionaire who hasn’t stopped whining about his problems since he got off his golden escalator 9 years ago. This was stated by former US President Barack Obama on the second day of the Democratic convention in Chicago, quoted by CNN.
Obama mocked the Republican leader, saying he “uses childish nicknames, has
crazy theories of the conspiracy
and a strange obsession with the size of his crowd”.
In their impassioned speeches, the 44th president of the United States and his wife Michelle supported Kamala Harris and called on Americans to work hard for her elevation to the White House. During the convention, Democrats officially confirmed that Harris and running mate Tim Walz are their picks for the Nov. 5 ballot. She thanked the party for the trust and promised “a future of freedom, opportunities, optimism and hope”.
“We don’t need 4 more years of bragging, anxiety and chaos. We’ve seen this movie before,” Obama said. The first black leader of the United States believes that the country is ready for Kamala Harris to be president: “We have the chance to elect a person who has spent his whole life trying to give people the same chances that America gave her.”
“America, hope is back,” Michelle announced at the start of her speech. The former first lady of the USA, who over the years established herself as one of the most key figures of the Democrats, was greeted by a stormy ovation on the stage in her native Chicago.
“My girl Kamala is more from ready
for this moment,” Michel said, calling the Blue House contender “one of the most qualified and worthy people to ever run for president.”
Michelle, however, warned that Kamala’s rivals “will do everything they can to distort her truth” and gave a personal example: “My husband and I, alas, have been through this. For years, Donald Trump has done everything in his power to make people fear us.” Michelle attacked Trump for his controversial speech from the debate in June, when he suggested that migrants
“black people are stealing jobs”
“Who’s going to tell him that the job he wants right now might be one of those menial jobs?” she asked rhetorically.
Former US Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton also stood behind Kamala. From Chicago, she urged Democrats to break stereotypes and finally elect the first female president in US history. “Don’t get distracted and don’t rest on your old laurels. In the coming days, we must work harder than ever,” Clinton urged.
