Barack obama, embracing the man he calls a brother. And in one more sign of what a battle this campaign will be, President Trump has already fired back from the white house. Declaring he ran for president simply because obama failed. The democrats are also shining a light on some of their most prominent women, nancy pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton and the senator breaking a new barrier, Kamala Harris, who will formally accept the nomination tonight. And broke the tradition by kicking the evening off herself. I know many of you plan to vote this year, but youve also heard about obstacles and misinformation and folks making it harder for you to cast your ballot. So i think we need to ask ourselves, why dont they want us to vote . Why is there so much effort to silence our voices . And the answer is because when we vote, things change. Kamala harris right there from wilmington, delaware. Mary bruce is there, too. This is her night. This is a huge moment of significance for women
A better president and hes got the character and the experience to make us a better country and in my frien kamel harris hes chosen an ideal partner who is more than prepared for the job someone who knows what its like to overcome barriers and whos made a career fighting to help others live out their own American Dream along with the experience needed to get things done joe and comma have concrete policies that will turn their vision of a better fairer stronger country into reality they will get this pandemic under control like joe did when he helped me manage h one n one and prevent an Ebola Outbreak from reaching our shores theyll expand health care to more americans like joe and i did 10 years ago when he helped craft the Affordable Care act and nailed down the votes to make it the law the rescue the economy like joe help me do after the Great Recession i asked him to manage the recovery act which jump started the longest stretch of job growth in history and he sees this moment now

When we vote, things change. When we vote, things get better. This is going to be an unforgettable night filled with important voices. America needs all of us to speak out, even when you have t fight to find the words. We can let continue or we can act. Vote, vote, vote. We have the chance this novembe to end two existential crises.
