In a resounding display of unity and determination, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took to the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to wholeheartedly endorse presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
With her signature blend of wit, passion, and conviction, Clinton praised Harris as the champion America needs to safeguard its democracy and constitution.
Clinton’s speech was met with thunderous applause as she welcomed Harris as the standard-bearer of the Democratic Party.
She highlighted Harris’s unwavering commitment to the values that have always defined America, from lowering costs for hardworking families to opening doors for good-paying jobs and restoring abortion rights nationwide.

With her trademark sharpness, Clinton also took aim at the opposition, particularly Donald Trump, whom she described as the “first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions.” The crowd erupted in chants of “Lock him up!” – a nod to the familiar rallying cry from Trump’s own supporters in 2016.
Clinton’s address was not just a testament to Harris’s leadership but also a tribute to President Joe Biden, whom she lauded for bringing “dignity, decency, and confidence” back to the White House.
Her words were a powerful reminder of the high stakes in the upcoming election and the imperative to defend America’s core values.
As Clinton’s speech reached its crescendo, a small group of protesters demonstrating against Israel’s war in Gaza briefly breached the outer security fence of the convention center.
However, their attempt to disrupt the proceedings was swiftly thwarted by police, who prevented them from reaching the inner cordon.
Despite this brief interruption, the convention remained focused on its core message: the need for unity, determination, and unwavering commitment to the values that have always defined America.
With Clinton’s endorsement, Harris has emerged stronger than ever, ready to take on the challenges ahead and lead America into a brighter future.
