Democratic National Convention (2 Viewers)

[Optimus Prime]

Several prominent Democratic figures are set to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this month, two sources familiar with the plans told NBC News.

President Joe Biden, former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been confirmed as speakers at the convention. Obama and the Clintons delivered speeches during the 2020 DNC, which was largely held virtually to prevent the spread of Covid-19 amid the pandemic.

A source familiar said that former President Jimmy Carter’s grandson Jason Carter is also confirmed to be speaking as a representative for his grandfather…….

Democratic National Convention speakers include Biden, Obama and the Clintons

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to formally accept the Democratic Party’s nomination at the convention, which will kick off in Chicago on Aug. 19.

Some of the best comments I’ve seen so far.







(President Nixon is a harsh, unbiased critic)

This is a different Harris from just 4 years ago. She is absolutely killing it and presidential.
What a change from 4 short years ago. She's all in. So am I.

I think advisors 4 years ago tried to get her to be who she wasn't. This time around, she's being herself.

That is how I saw it as well.

I’m ready to run through a brick wall after that. She murdered that speech.

More from President Nixon (who has been a harsh critic)





And I’m crying, guys. She is absolutely meeting this moment. So much what we need.

Fantastic speech!

Ha! The Jack Twitter account added an addendum. (I loved the FIRE in her tonight).

So Trump was live-posting her speech on his Truth Social account - and it went off the rails in predictable ways, lol. One of his posts was only this - “Is she talking about me?” Only in ALL CAPS IIRC. lol.

Also, to end this evening - let us remember who is mostly responsible for her candidacy. Who foiled the plans for an “open” convention.

Following up on my previous post, I didn't like who Harris seemed to be 4 years ago. Since her first campaign speech a few weeks ago, I like her and her goals more than any other president except for Carter. I like both of them equally. I like Harris Walz as a ticket more than any other ever. This is what I've been waiting 44 years to see from a presidential ticket.

I thought it was a good, but not a great speech. It had a lot of substance, and hit all the right points, but she isn’t as dynamic of a speaker as the Obamas, which is the standard of a great speech. It didn’t have the catchy phrases that would go viral. However, it was far better than Trump’s, and I think it was the best speech I’ve ever heard from her. I think she improved her chances, because she moderated, and she came off as presidential.

I’m not even close to being able to sleep. She spoke a lot about foreign policy and did it well.

First - there’s no point in comparing her to Obama. Second - you can only be the best version of yourself you can be. Third - she absolutely killed it on those terms.

I don't get the Beyonce worship. Or Taylor Swift's... or any entertainer's.

that's not worship.
if you want to see worship, just look at MAGAs worship of Trump.
Beyonce and Swift have fans, some over the top maybe, but MAGAs truly worship Trump in ways that dwarfs Beyonce and Swift fans..

Additionally, she gave at least 10x the speech Biden would have delivered.
