Chicago: In his Democratic National Convention (DNC) speech on Wednesday (local time), former US President Bill Clinton expressed his support for the Democratic nominee for the upcoming US Presidential election, Kamala Harris, and urged Americans to vote for the “president of joy” for the White House. Clinton said that Harris’ Presidential candidacy represents the country, as he narrated the crowd her life story during his convention speech.
“From a man who once had the honour to be called in this convention, a man from Hope, we need Kamala Harris – the president of joy – to lead us…So, I’ll be doing my part. You do yours,” he said during his convention speech on Wednesday night.
Clinton, who was the 42nd President of the United States further said that he now wants America to be “more inclusive, more future-focused.” “Just think what a burden it’s been on us to get up day after day after day after day, buried in meaningless hot rhetoric when there are so many opportunities out there, so many problems that need to be solved — I want that. And that’s the America Kamala Harris will lead,” Clinton said during his speech.
The former president also cited a few instances, stating that Harris spearheaded the charge for reproductive rights while serving as president and that she had “fought for kids her whole life” as a prosecutor. Clinton also cited Harris’s proposal to address the issue of affordable housing and lower the cost of owning.
Last week, Harris released her housing plan, which included incentives to develop affordable rental housing as well as tax breaks for builders who build starter houses for first-time buyers and first-time homeowners up to a USD 25,000 down payment, reported CNN.
“She’s gained an invaluable amount of experience as vice president advancing our values and interests around the world,” he said. Clinton further went all guns blazing at Donald Trump, who is eyeing the White House from the Republican Party and said that all he does is just talk about himself all the time.
