The former first lady made a personal and passionate speech to the DNC in Chicago.

Not just here in this arena… but spreading all across this country we love… a familiar feeling that’s been buried too deep for too long. Rep. Matt Gaetz defeats Kevin McCarthy-backed GOP primary challenger

I still feel her loss so profoundly… I wasn’t even sure I’d be steady enough to stand before you tonight. She and my father didn’t aspire to be wealthy… in fact, they were suspicious of those who took more than they needed. The belief that if you do unto others… if you love thy neighbor… if you work and scrape and sacrifice, it will pay off—if not for you, then maybe for your children or your grandchildren… those values have been passed on through family farms and factory towns… through tree-lined suburbs and crowded tenements… through prayer groups and National Guard units and social studies classrooms. Kamala Harris and I built our lives on those same foundational values.

Her story is your story… it’s my story… it’s the story of the vast majority of Americans trying to build a better life. It couldn’t be more obvious… of the two major candidates in this race, only Kamala Harris truly understands the unseen labor and unwavering commitment that has always made America great.

It’s his same old con: doubling down on ugly, misogynistic, racist lies as a substitute for real ideas and solutions that will actually make people’s lives better. But as we embrace this renewed sense of hope, let us not forget the despair we have felt…let us not forget what we are up against. No, the minute something goes wrong… the minute a lie takes hold, we cannot start wringing our hands. We cannot indulge our anxieties about whether this country will elect someone like Kamala instead of doing everything we can to get someone like Kamala elected.
