Hillary Clinton to speak at DNC

 August 12, 2024

Would-be president Hillary Clinton will speak at the upcoming Democratic National Convention, along with Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Kamala Harris will formally be nominated the party's nominee for president at the convention, which runs from August 19 to August 22 in Chicago.

Clinton to speak at DNC

The display of unity comes despite tensions within the party that spilled into the open following Biden's disastrous debate performance. Obama played a role in pressuring Biden to end his re-election bid, which he eventually did after initially insisting he would stay.

Biden endorsed Harris, who quickly rallied the Democratic party and media behind her surprise presidential campaign.

The tentative DNC schedule has Biden speaking on Monday, along with Hillary, followed by Obama on Tuesday, Harris' running mate Tim Walz and Bill Clinton on Wednesday, and Harris accepting the nomination on Thursday. The grandson of Jimmy Carter, Jason Carter, will also appear on his behalf.

Clinton - who lost to Trump in a shocking upset in 2016 - has been a vocal backer of Harris' campaign.

Recently, Clinton raised eyebrows after she praised Tim Walz for stocking boys' bathrooms with menstrual products.

Harris "honeymoon"

The convention will likely prolong the Harris "honeymoon," but Republicans argue that she will begin to falter as she comes under closer scrutiny.

While Harris' entry into the race has given Democrats hope, she has yet to face serious pressure, with no unscripted interviews or press conferences.

President Trump has labeled Harris "fake" and a copycat for ripping off his agenda, including his pledge to end taxes on tips.

Harris has not received a single primary vote, and her previous run for the presidency flamed out before the primaries began, something Trump has been eager to point out.

“She was the first loser when, during the primary system, during the Democrat primary system. She was the first one to quit. And she quit. She had no votes, no support, and she was a bad debater, by the way. Very bad debater,” he said at a press conference last week.
