Former President Bill Clinton delivered remarks at the Democratic National Convention where he thanked President Joe Biden for his courage, invoking a 'thank you Joe' chant. He took aim at former President Donald Trump’s age, touted the nation's job numbers and says American needs Vice President Kamala Harris, 'the president of joy.
CHICAGO — Former President Bill Clinton ridiculed Republican nominee Donald Trump on Wednesday night, calling him a narcissist consumed by petty concerns that have nothing to do with Americans' everyday problems. Speaking at the Democratic National Convention, Clinton contrasted what he described as Trump’s fixation with crowd sizes to Vice President Kamala Harris’ focus on improving lives.
” Famous for tinkering with his speeches right up until delivery, Clinton tore up his draft on Monday -- the first day of the convention -- and began reworking the speech from scratch, a person familiar with the speech preparations said. Mindful of former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo’s dictum, “campaign in poetry, govern in prose,” Clinton then worked to inject the speech with a folksier quality that also captured the enthusiasm that Harris’ candidacy has awakened, the person said.
