ENERGY‼️
The late speach by a guy who did the right thing for his party and America, even though it hurt…
Tonight?
Barack and Michelle Obama WILL be in the House….
Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are set to speak at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday, bringing their star power and deep-rooted influence within the party to the gathering’s second night.
Why it matters: The former first lady, upon her return to her hometown of Chicago, remains one of the most popular — and powerful — galvanizing voices in the Democratic party, despite her longstanding dislike for highly partisan politics.
- While her husband was a willing surrogate during his former VP Joe Biden‘s since-retired reelection bid, Michelle Obama was largely absent from Biden’s 2024 campaign.
- Her massive popularity has prompted calls for her to run for office herself, but her answer for over a decade has remained the same: No.
Zoom out: The Obamas characterized Harris as “a friend who we’ve known for more than 20 years” in their statement endorsing her last month.
- In a video the Harris campaign shared capturing the couple’s endorsement, Michelle Obama can be heard saying, “I can’t have this phone call without saying to my girl Kamala, I am proud of you — this is going to be historic.”
- Public figures and voters alike have compared Harris’ enthusiasm-inspiring burst onto the trail to Obama’s hope-centered 2008 campaign….
Here is what to watch for on Day 2:
The theme. “A bold vision for America’s future” suggests that Monday’s plaudits for the Biden administration’s accomplishments were more of an elegy for Mr. Biden’s career than a signal for what would come under a Harris presidency. On Tuesday, expect more talk of policies that would be advanced by a Harris administration.
The second gentleman. Mr. Emhoff, who will become the nation’s first first gentleman if Ms. Harris is elected, will most likely share personal stories about the vice president, his wife of 10 years and the stepmother to his children. But he is also expected to speak about his Jewish faith, said Halie Soifer, the chief executive of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, who was a national security adviser to Ms. Harris when she was in the Senate. Mr. Emhoff’s address will seek to soothe the concerns of Jewish voters, Ms. Soifer said, as the Harris campaign appeals to Arab Americans and Muslim Americans who are angry over the Biden administration’s support for Israel in the war in Gaza.
The governor. Mr. Pritzker will host a party late in the day at the Salt Shed, a converted Morton’s Salt plant, headlined by John Legend. But first, Mr. Pritzker, the man who helped bring the convention to his state, is set to deliver a speech that will, in part, recount the progressive policies he has championed in Illinois. He is fond of holding his state up as a laboratory for national policies, such as enshrining abortion rights, legalizing cannabis and embedding union organizing into the state Constitution.
The former president. Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, still own a house on the South Side of Chicago, and his presidential library is going up at the edge of the University of Chicago’s campus. But public appearances in the city that started his political career are rare these days. Expect a roaring welcome for the Windy City’s son and soaring oratory from the nation’s first Black president as he implores the nation to elect its first Black female president. Michelle Obama, the former first lady and a Chicago power in her own right, will also speak from her alma mater, Whitney M. Young Magnet High School.
The nominees. Ms. Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, who made a surprise appearance on Monday night, will take advantage of Chicago’s proximity to the battleground state of Wisconsin by rallying voters in the same Milwaukee arena, Fiserv Forum, where former President Donald J. Trump was officially nominated by Republicans last month. The Democratic standard-bearers will stick around to watch Night 2 from the swing state just to the north. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was criticized for giving scant attention to Wisconsin in 2016 before narrowly losing it to Mr. Trump. It will be Ms. Harris’s third trip to the state during her presidential campaign, not even a month old….
Politico…..
In one of the biggest applause lines, Pritzker poked fun at Trump.
“Donald Trump thinks we should trust him on the economy because he claims to be very rich,” said Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt Hotels fortune. “Take it from an actual billionaire, Trump is rich in only one thing: stupidity.”….
….
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) made a forceful progressive case to keep building on the work of the Biden administration — an administration that’s “accomplished more than any government since FDR” — by electing Kamala Harris this fall.
The Vermont Independent and two-time presidential candidate returned to familiar themes critiquing the influence of money in politics, income inequality and the lack of guaranteed health care during his 12-minute speech Tuesday night….
….
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer rallied Democrats around Kamala Harris’ presidential bid and made a bold prediction his party would retain — and expand — its majority control of the chamber.
“Vice President Harris has been the best partner Senate Democrats could ever have asked for,” the New York Democrat said….
…
Republican political commentator Ana Navarro kicked off her remarks on stage as the DNC host tonight by throwing Democrats a bone.
“Kamala Harris, she likes dogs,” Navarro said. “We cannot elect a president who does not like dogs.”
But Navarro, a panelist on “The View,” said the stakes of the election extend beyond whichever candidates dogs prefer — despite what she said were their good judges of character….
…
A huge cheer went up in the arena as California’s flag came on screen and Gov. Gavin Newsom took the mic and said he’s from the “great state of Nancy Pelosi.”
Newsom officially cast 482 votes for Vice President Kamala Harris from his state, saying Californians have had the opportunity to see Harris grow into a star over 20 years “fighting for criminal justice, racial justice, economic justice, social justice.”…
….
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-ILL) comes out on crutches and artificial legs ….She was an Army Help driver that lost her legs in the Iraq War…

Can we just stop to imagine the red hot rage that is running through the head of Donald Trump right now as he watches Michelle Obama rip him to shreds?
Forget Her…..
Trump has ALWAYS HATED Barack Obama….
Wait until tomorrow…..
He hates it coming from a woman more.
We’ll see…..
I wish I had truth social just for the night to see what he was posting…i am sure there will be rage tonight…
The Obama’s are just amazing speakers…Barak Obama might be the GOAT in this country in regards to speaking…
Go to twitter BDog….
You don’t have to have it to see what he is saying. Just google it.
What he has mostly been doing tonight is bragging that he endorsed all sorts of incumbent Republican Members of Congress in Florida who won uncontested primaries. He thinks this is a big accomplishment of his.
He’s doing State Reps now too. Each one gets its own post of a photo with him. He’s very proud of himself.
