Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama delivered passionate speeches at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, urging Americans to support Kamala Harris in her bid for presidency. The couple’s back-to-back endorsements electrified the audience and marked a significant moment in the convention, which formally nominates Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate.
In her speech, Michelle Obama directly mocked Donald Trump, asking if he knew he was running for a “black job,” referring to the presidency. This comment was a clear response to Trump’s recent claim that migrants are taking “black jobs” in the US. The former First Lady’s words drew applause and cheers from the packed arena.
Barack Obama’s speech focused on the need for a “new chapter” in American politics, with Kamala Harris at the helm. He emphasized the importance of supporting Harris and creating a better future for the country.
The second night of the convention also featured speeches from prominent figures such as rapper Lil Jon, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and California Governor Gavin Newsom. The event showcased a united front of support for Kamala Harris and set the stage for the final two days of the convention.
The third day of the convention will feature speeches from Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz, former President Bill Clinton, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. The event promises to be an exciting conclusion to the Democratic National Convention.
