ai generated text

Barack Obama delivered a closing speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where he endorsed Kamala Harris for president. He criticized Donald Trump's approach as "stale and ineffective" and emphasized the need for a new chapter in American politics. Michelle Obama also gave a speech, where she mocked Trump, accusing him of doubling down on lies to "make people fear us." She also praised Harris, saying she will be a champion for people who need a voice. The Obamas' speeches were well-received by the crowd, with chants of "Yes, she can!" and "Yes, he can!" erupting during Obama's speech.

1. At this moment in our nation's history, she is exactly the right president.
2. Kamala has fought against antisemitism and all forms of hate her whole career. She is the one who encouraged me, as second gentleman, to take up that fight, which is so personal to me.

1. This has been the oddest summer in American politics certainly in modern times, so who knows if there will be a polling bounce.
2. He was critical of Trump, no doubt about that, but one thing that really struck me was, other politicians, including Joe Biden, talk in detail about the threat they say Donald Trump poses, whereas Obama kind of dismissed Trump with humour and said to the crowd that we have seen this movie before and the sequel is not normally as good.
Bernie Sanders
Democratic Party
1. Billionaires in both parties should not be able to buy elections, including primary elections.
Kamala Harris
Democratic Party
1. I do believe, you know, bad behavior should result in a consequence. Well, we will make sure he does face a consequence and that will be at the ballot box in November.
2. Yesterday, when he was asked if he has any regrets about ending Roe v Wade, Donald Trump, without even a moment's hesitation – you would think you'd reflect on it for a second – said: 'No regrets,'
Michelle Obama
Democratic Party
1. His limited and narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hardworking, highly educated, successful people who also happened to be Black.
2. Something magically wonderful is in the air ... It's the contagious power of hope.
3. Who's going to tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those 'Black jobs'?
Barack Obama
Democratic Party
1. History will remember Joe Biden as a president who defended democracy at a moment of great danger. I am proud to call him my president, but even prouder to call him my friend.
2. Tim's the kind of person who should be in politics – somebody who was born in a small town, served his country, taught kids, coached football, and took care of his neighbors.
3. By the way, that doesn't just matter to people in this country. The rest of the world is watching to see if we can actually pull it off.
4. This will be a tight race in a divided country; a country where too many Americans are still struggling.
5. Here's a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator.
6. It's been a constant stream of gripes and grievances that's actually gotten worse now that Trump is afraid of losing to Kamala … The other day, I heard someone compare Trump to the neighbor who keeps running his leaf blower outside your window every minute of every day.
7. In this new economy, we need a president who actually cares about the millions of people all across this country who wake up every day to do the essential, often thankless work to care for our sick and clean our streets and deliver our packages – and stand up for their right to bargain for better wages and working conditions.
8. Kamala has shown her allegiance to this nation, not by spewing anger and bitterness, but by living a life of service and always pushing the doors of opportunity open to others. She understands that most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward. We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth.
9. Our politics have become so polarized these days that all of us across the political spectrum seem so quick to assume the worst in others unless they agree with us on every single issue.
10. I'm the only person stupid enough to speak after Michelle Obama.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. Kamala Harris will deliver crime, chaos, destruction and death.
