Following his wife, Barack Obama also called the former president 'a 78-year-old billionaire who hasn't stopped whining'
Her comments referenced those made by Trump during his debate with Joe Biden earlier this year when he said migrants are “taking Black jobs now. And it could be 18, it could be 19 and even 20 million people — they’re taking Black jobs and they’re taking Hispanic jobs.”“Something magical is in the air… I’m talking about the contagious power of hope,” she said. “America, hope is making a comeback.”
She added: “Going small is petty — it’s unhealthy — and quite frankly, it’s unpresidential.” She called Harris and running mate Tim Walz “good, big-hearted people.” She also derided the politics of petty spite, of book banning and misogynistic attacks before introducing her husband. In his address, the former president called Trump “a 78-year-old billionaire who hasn’t stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago.”
Tuesday also saw Republicans who have left the fold since Trump’s takeover address the Democratic convention, including Trump’s former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham and former Trump voter Kyle Sweetser.
