Former first lady Michelle Obama delivers remarks at the Democratic National Convention, encouraging support for Kamala Harris and calling out former President Trump’s ‘backward leadership.’

Whether we’re talking about how a grateful nation embraced President Joe Biden as he passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris and a new generation of leadership or former President Barack Obama reminding us that "the ties that bind us together" as a nation and a people are stronger than the hateful rhetoric, conspiracy theories and divide us, in an address echoing the 2004 speech that put him in the national spotlight, one thing is clear: something special is happening in Chicago. The DNC Convention is bursting with a sense of hope and joy that is part grassroots movement, part family reunion. And the contrast with last month’s GOP convention couldn’t be clearer.

On Day One of the Republican Convention, MAGA darling Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attacked LGBTQ Americans and immigrants, spewed misinformation and called Donald Trump a "founding father," while the audience hissed and booed at any hint of diversity. Compare that to Day One of the Democratic Convention this week where Rep. Jasmine Crockett took the presidential job applications of both Trump and Harris line by line, correctly noting that, "Kamala Harris has a resume. Donald Trump has a rap sheet."

But Crockett didn’t stop there.

Crockett talked about Harris, not just as a transformational leader, but as a person, a product of the American Dream and a woman who takes the time out of her relentless schedule to listen to a freshman congresswoman’s concerns and remind her that she is exactly where God wants her to be.

She talked about Harris as a beacon of hope and freedom that shines our way to the future and, most importantly, she reminded all of us how important it is for all of us to engage in this election. She asked America to vote.
