Michelle Obama received a standing ovation from those present at the Contention.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama took her place at the podium of the Democratic National Convention to a long and well-received ovation from the audience, where she spoke about the return of hope in the country. However, Michelle Obama stated that this August 20th she was on the podium and speaking because of her mother, the woman who gave meaning to her life and her work, for which it was her last visit to Chicago to say her last goodbye.

After those words he said that America has “the opportunity to overcome the demons of fear, division and hatred that have consumed us and continue to pursue the unfinished promise of this great nation, the dream for which our parents and grandparents fought, died and sacrificed”.

In addition, she did not miss the opportunity to affirm that Donald Trump has always done his best to make people fear them, because the attack that Kamala Harris is suffering at this moment, is the same that she and her husband received for years, because Trump has a “limited and narrow vision of the world”, so he was threatened by two educated and hard-working people who happen to be black.ing mate Rim Walz.

Barack Obama passed the baton to Kamala Harris

During his speech on the second day of the Democratic Convention, former U.S. President Barack Obama appeared before a crowd full of effusive praise and affirmed that Vice President Kamala Harris is now leading the Democratic Party because “the torch has been passed” and it is time to fight for the country that everyone deserves.

This in reference to Donald Trump, as he stated that the Republican candidate has been complaining and aggravating other people for fear of losing against Harris. He also recalled how Trump made the decision to overturn a bipartisan border agreement in the Senate and strip women's reproductive rights. 

That is why he urged all citizens to get out and vote as “we don't need four more years of bluster, bungling and chaos; we've seen that movie before and we all know the sequel is usually worse,” Obama said. Therefore, he called on everyone to vote for Kamala Harris, to vote for the future.
