“Donald Trump has been a style of coherence. He continues to divide, he continues to blame, he continues to degrade others. It creates chaos and then handles it as if it were a valuable art,” Clinton said at the Democratic National Committee. “He usually talks about himself. So the next time you hear it, don’t tell the lies, tell the ‘I’s,'” he continued.

San Francisco Third Baptist Church Pastor Amos Brown will pray at the Democratic National Convention.
As the Washington Post reported, before their current fame as reverend and Vice President Kamala Harris, the two Bay Area figures were aspiring politicians in the 1990s.

Brown, who has said he has known Harris and her family for more than two decades and was one of Harris’ visitors to attend her inauguration in 2021, may be primarily responsible for her campaign as his sermons beyond and anti-American rhetoric begin to surface. Harris had praised Brown in the afterlife for being “on this adventure with me every step of the way. “

The Walz family joins Father Tim on stage on Day 3 of the Democratic National Convention.
His two sons, Gus, 17, and Hope, 23, went viral on the third day of the conference for their emotional reaction to their father’s speech after he officially accepted Kamala Harris’ nomination for vice president.
Hope can be seen waving her hands after Walz referred to her family as “the whole world. ” Meanwhile, Gus stood up and continually uttered the words, “That’s my dad!” The reaction immediately went viral, especially after other people started finding out that he had ADHD, a non-verbal learning disability, and a anxiety disorder.
In 2019, Walz turned to his daughter, Hope, to help spread the word about the law he sought to pass as governor of Minnesota that would ban cell phone use while driving. The two men starred in a public service announcement-style comedy video, joking and bantering while promoting the new law.

“No, at the moment, it is in the hands of the people. The citizens of each state vote. I have done anything that will one day unite our country, but because they lie so much at this convention, they are making it seem like I need, I need a federal ban. That probably wouldn’t happen. “

These are confusing times, people, and they call for a verbal exchange between adults. And I welcome those verbal exchanges because civil debate is important to democracy and is America’s best. “
In another veiled attack on Trump, Winfrey said: “Now there’s a safe candidate who says if we go to the polls this time, we’ll go through so we never have to do it again. Well, you know what? You’re me. ” I’m looking for a registered independent who is proud to vote again and again because I’m an American. And that’s what Americans do best.

And it includes enough cash to supply universal school meals so that no child in Minnesota has to be informed on an empty stomach.

Vice President Kamala Harris has in the past supported abandoning Trump-era border policies, but she appears to be taking a tougher stance on the crisis at the southern border as her presidential crusade continues.
The Democratic nominee recently released a crusade ad titled “Tougher,” in which she discusses her current position on the issue.

As a border state prosecutor, he took on drug cartels and jailed gang members for smuggling guns and drugs across the border,” a narrator said in the new ad. “As vice president, she supported the strictest border bill in decades.

Democrats have been trying for weeks to use the impeachment document to attack the former president, arguing that the policies are radical.
Trump himself referenced the draft in an interview Thursday on Fox News, saying he was unfamiliar with the document and had not read it.

Chicago, thanks to its geographic centrality, is the most popular city in terms of primary political conventions.
Between 1860 and 1996, Chicago hosted 14 national Republican nominating conventions and Democratic Party conventions.
Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, along with the state’s congressional delegation and Chicago city officials were instrumental in organizing the convention. And one of its promotional themes was the sheer number of hotel rooms in Chicago, meaning that the thousands of delegates, officials and journalists who cover the convention may simply remain within city limits.
This is far from the case with many political conventions. Last month, some delegates and reporters were staying in hotels away from downtown Milwaukee for the 2024 Republican National Convention.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Committee in Chicago on Wednesday night, criticizing former Vice President Trump and Sen. J. D. Vance.
Meanwhile, Walz’s progressive record as governor was seized upon by Republicans after he became Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, and he had a much more moderate reputation when he entered Congress in 2007.
Walz had ousted Minnesota’s red-leaning first congressional district and ousted a sitting Republican president to win the seat.
In his early years he earned an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, a rating that was later an “F,” and Walz broke with his party’s top to oppose a $700 billion bank bailout in 2008, according to NPR.
Walz’s political activism flared shortly before when he took a group of his students to a rally for George W. Bush’s re-election, where one of his students was questioned through security for having a sticker advertising Kerry on his wallet. , according to MinnPost.
