Sources said Clinton wanted to match the energy of the first night of the DNC.
A video of Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris is seen on the scoreboard during the Democratic National Convention, Aug. 21, 2024, in Chicago.
After the excitement sparked by the Obamas Tuesday night, Democrats will try to keep to momentum going when vice presidential nominee Tim Walz headlines the third night of speakers.Clinton, Trump, Bush all about the same age With his quip about Trump’s age, Clinton reminds us of a historical oddity: He, Trump, and George W. Bush were all born within a few weeks of each other in summer 1946. Trump was born on June 14, Bush on July 6, and Clinton on Aug. 19."And I am still younger than Donald Trump," he joked.Clinton is going off script pretty considerably -- not on the substance, but as if he's making little edits in his head along the way.
Bill Clinton pointed out he's younger than Donald Trump, who was born two months before him. Of course, he doesn't mention that both are younger than Joe Biden.Bill Clinton praised Biden for his work on a number of issues, but expressed thanks for his sacrifice in stepping aside. "And then he did something that's really hard for a politician to do: he voluntarily gave up political power," he said. "And George Washington knew that and he did it, and he set the standard for us serving two terms before it was mandatory. It helped his legacy and it will enhance Joe Biden's legacy."
