She is the only candidate in the election campaign with vision, experience, temperament, will, and the pure joy required to get something done, says an energetic and somewhat hoarse ex-president from the party convention stage.

The 2024 election is clear. Kamala Harris is for the people. The other guy (the Republicans' Donald Trump) stands for "me and myself".

Democrat Bill Clinton was president between 1993 and 2001, and this is the twelfth time the 78-year-old speaks at the party convention. He makes a point of being younger than (but a year older than) Trump and says that not a day goes by without him being grateful to his fellow citizens for giving him the chance to work in the White House.

But I love seeing all the young leaders here, admits the ex-president, who has an enthusiastically applauding audience with him.

After these two days, aren't you proud to be Democrats?

Clinton also praises Joe Biden as a president who during the pandemic healed the sick and put the rest to work, and stood up for Ukraine.
