Biden received a more than 4-minute standing ovation before he was allowed to speak

Former US President Barack Obama tells the Democrats at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago that President Joe Biden had passed the torch, it was up to them to fight for an America they believed in and“It is one of the oldest tricks in politics from a guy whose act has, let’s face it, gotten pretty stale. We do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos, we have seen that movie before and we all know that the sequel is usually worse.

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton says, “Together we put a lot of cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling. And tonight, tonight, so close to breaking through once and for all. And you know what? On the other side of that glass ceiling is Kamala Harris raising her hand and taking the oath of office as our 47 president of the United States.”

While touting his legislative accomplishments, he promised to be the best volunteer for the Harris-Walz ticket but also took a swipe at the man he replaced in the White House in 2020. Rape survivor from Kentucky, Hadley Duvall says, “I was raped by my stepfather after years of sexual abuse. At age 12, I took my first pregnancy test and it was positive.
